We want people to bring in their Christmas recipes; the ones they love, the ones they hate, the ones they just made up yesterday. You can even bring samples to share, and we’ll eat and talk cooking and eating and Christmas.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/11/the-christmas-recipe-swap-december-6-2013/feed/ 4 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/10/10-fantastic-fairfield-eats/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/10/10-fantastic-fairfield-eats/#comments Fri, 18 Oct 2013 08:05:41 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=5944 I recently had the pleasure of being a guest of Noodlies and The Fairfield City Council for #fairfieldfeast, a food tour for food bloggers showcasing the Western Sydney suburb of Fairfield. All meals were free, and all meals were also, unequivocally, bloody amazing. As tomorrow is Fairfield’s ‘Culinary Carnivale’, I thought it was time to share my list of must-eats for the 2165 postcode. Although less well known than its Viet-food-packed neighbour, Cabramatta, Fairfield is actually the most culturally diverse suburb in Australia, as a stroll around the restaurants and shops in the Fairfield ‘city’ show. Fairfield boasts Iraqi, Afghani, Chilean, Lebanese, and Lao cuisines, just to name a few. From the city, it’s a 45 minute train trip, and everything delicious is right by the station, making for a totally walkable multicultural feast. For me, #fairfieldfeast was like eating Christmas lunch three times at six culturally diverse tables. I enjoyed every single bite. Here are ten ace fairfield eats from the places Thang, Mel, Simon, Josie, Lee Tran, Suzi and Cindy got to visit, so you can have your own little #fairfieldfeast.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/10/10-fantastic-fairfield-eats/feed/ 4 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/05/the-rag-land-smokey-o%e2%80%99s-popup-13-14-may-2013/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/05/the-rag-land-smokey-o%e2%80%99s-popup-13-14-may-2013/#comments Thu, 30 May 2013 22:11:59 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=5436 From home supper clubs to warehouse dinners, popups are all the rage these days, and the hype isn’t always warranted. But in the case of Smokey O’s slow southern style bbq, it certainly is, and a staunch band of devotees flock to their pork in the park lunches and regular appearances at north of the bridge market stalls to fill their bellies with bee bee cue goodness. So when I found out they were popping up at my local cafe, The Rag Land, I knew I had to go and get a taste of whatever Americana-inspired breakfast/brunch/lunch treats they’d have on offer.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/05/the-rag-land-smokey-o%e2%80%99s-popup-13-14-may-2013/feed/ 3 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/10/mi-casa-su-casa-preview-dinner/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/10/mi-casa-su-casa-preview-dinner/#comments Fri, 26 Oct 2012 04:35:40 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=4637 Saturday October 6th, 2012 Sydney is a town that loves to eat out, we’re obsessed with where the new/hip/hot/solid/awesome/novel place is. But amazing food and great service are not the only ingredients that make up a great meal. All too often there’s one very important element missing - true hospitality. And that’s where Mi Casa Su Casa comes in, a shift towards a different kind of dining - eating in. Mi Casa Su Casa is a speakeasy-style/in home restaurant run by Georgia peach SarahKate with the help of her husband, Andy, aiming to bring a little bit of southern hospitality to Sydney. The restaurant runs a couple of times a month and seats ten guests, the idea being to bring people together to share a meal and get to know each other. Although underground dinners, twEATups and so forth are all the rage these days, it’s one of the first true in-home restaurants in Sydney.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/10/mi-casa-su-casa-preview-dinner/feed/ 10 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/07/lunch-at-la-paula-fairfield/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/07/lunch-at-la-paula-fairfield/#comments Thu, 26 Jul 2012 21:39:08 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=4026 For me, the holy grail of westie food, elusive and delicious, has always been La Paula. I had heard nothing but good things and it had been on my wishlist for aaaaaaaaaages. I’d even visited their nearby branch in Kingsford with their more pared-back menu and had some delicious alfajores and empanadas, but I knew it wasn’t the full experience. So I’ve been licking my lips in anticipation of Chilean sweets and fast food for some time now. A month ago, a group of us finally stopped in for a veritable feast of sweets, softly ensconced sandwiches and dulce de leche delights. No one left disappointed. Or hungry.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/07/lunch-at-la-paula-fairfield/feed/ 6
