Along with lamingtons and pavlova we both lay claim this antipodean beverage, something I always took for granted as the most boring of the espresso-based creations. I never realised the flat white’s controversial origins, nor the fact that it would one day become the coffee of choice for hipsters from New York to London. But the flat white is not the reason I decided to visit Allpress’s flagship store in trendy Ponsonby, Auckland; frankly, I couldn’t care less about flat whites, miniscule coffees are more my scene. I’d been a fan of Allpress ever since I came accross it’s Sydney Roasterie in Zetland. When I first bloogged about them, I cited them as the Kiwi export I’d most like to call my own. So I was excited to check out their teensy Ponsonby store and see what’s what.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/01/cafe-review-allpress-espresso-ponsonby-auckland/feed/ 5 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/10/anzac-crispies/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/10/anzac-crispies/#comments Tue, 25 Oct 2011 04:50:09 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=2368 The story goes that these bikkies were often sent as part of care packages to the men of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps during World War I. The recipe came to be because something high energy, solid and transportable was needed, and the ingredients in the biscuit were basic and plentiful at the time. Eggs were scarce at the time, so a recipe without eggs yet was developed.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/10/anzac-crispies/feed/ 5
