Travel Nibbles: ‘Rosenburger’ Review

Hi Nibblers!          It’s not Tuesday! I should really stop being so delayed. But, better late than never right? No, not really. I blame uni.

Hey Nibblers!         I know it’s not Tuesday. But, it’s been too long and we need to catch up. I need to tell you that I have an addiction. One that sometimes I really think I should seek help for. I can’t stop thinking about it. Sometimes I even dream about it….

Travel Nibbles: ‘Mistral Cafe’ Review

Hey Nibblers!     Made it to the amazingly snowy Prague where our tour guide once again declared that they were in fact the beer capital.

How to: Parsley Pesto

Hey Nibblers! I’ve always loved my pesto. If there’s anything pesto on the menu, I’m the one to order it. My Mumma has been tending her little herb garden religiously for about two years now. So, when she said she wanted me to use the abundance of parsley for her, I gladly did, by making…

How to: Chicken Schnitzel

Hey Nibblers!            Chicken Schnitzels are one of my all-time faves. They’re great by themselves, in a sandwich packed with lettuce, mayo and bacon or in a salad. The only problem is I try and only gobble one but, let’s face it, I don’t actually just eat one, more like five…

How to: Fish Cakes wrapped in lettuce with guacamole.

Hey Nibblers!         Fish and I aren’t really friends. Leftover fish and I are definitely enemies. However, I have found a super easy way to jazz these fishes up. For those of you that feel like you are missing some omega 3 in your life because fish just isn’t you cup of tea, I…

Travel Nibbles: ‘Trattoria Bondi’ Review + Mini ‘Triangolo dell Bermuda’ Review

Hey Nibblers!      This week, Kelly and I find ourselves in Florence/ Firenze. Unfortunately, we were unlucky with our train times so we only had one night in Florence.

Hey Nibblers!           As I mentioned in my ‘Banh Bong Lan’ post, my Mummy just recently turned 50! To celebrate, Mum wanted something with a good atmosphere and she loves the weekly Darling Harbour fireworks so I chose ‘Criniti’s’ at Darling Harbour. I’ve eaten here about two times but I can’t…
