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/2012/10/speaking-on-the-35-challenge/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/10/speaking-on-the-35-challenge/#comments Sat, 13 Oct 2012 08:06:42 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=4470 This week I had the nerve racking but ultimately rewarding experience of presenting a talk (twice) on The $35 Food Challenge as part of the City of Sydney Library’s ‘Lunches with Bite’. It would be an understatement to say it was a fantastic experience. Once I started talking I found I just couldn’t shut my mouth. And the reason is this.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/10/speaking-on-the-35-challenge/feed/ 4 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/09/roasted-cauliflower-shareplate-and-some-big-news/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/09/roasted-cauliflower-shareplate-and-some-big-news/#comments Thu, 13 Sep 2012 21:25:07 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=4331 The Potluck Club as we’ve been compiling and proofing recipes, chasing up submissions and sorting through photos. 24 bloggers have submitted a total of about 35 original recipes and as many photos. A huge thank you to everyone who has submitted their work to help raise money for Foodbank, in conjuction with The $35 Challenge. This October, as part of the the City of Sydney Libraries’ ‘Lunches with bite’ series, I will be presenting a couple of talks on The $35 Challenge - one on Tuesday October 9th at the King's Cross Library and one on Friday 12th of October at Custom’s House Library. The talks are on the week before the challenge, to get you ready-slash-psyched. Both talks are free but places are limited, so if you’re interested, follow the links to register. I’ll also be hosting a recipe swap at the Glebe Library in November. We’re encouraging everyone to bring their favourite home recipes, cookbooks and food blog links - we’re calling it an ‘old-fashioned-meets-social-media recipe swap’. I’m both excited and phenomenally terrified, so come on down. If nothing else, it’ll be good for a laugh. Since its been all about the e-cookbook lately, I thought it a good idea to post an actual recipe. I’ve been eating roasted cauliflower all winter as a side dish, but it also makes a fab ‘share plate’, as the kids say. Serve it with crusty bread and mediterranean dips, or maybe as a side to roast chicken or a comforting casserole.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/09/roasted-cauliflower-shareplate-and-some-big-news/feed/ 9 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/09/an-icon-for-an-icon-campos-comes-to-the-sydney-opera-house/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/09/an-icon-for-an-icon-campos-comes-to-the-sydney-opera-house/#comments Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:20:39 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=4300 wrote a few days ago, and by gum I was there to check it out. ]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/09/an-icon-for-an-icon-campos-comes-to-the-sydney-opera-house/feed/ 4 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/12/cafe-review-york-lane-sydney-cbd/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/12/cafe-review-york-lane-sydney-cbd/#comments Thu, 22 Dec 2011 09:14:59 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=2686 Coffee kindred spirit John over at he needs food sent me this recommendation a while back and it’s taken me this long to get to it, but this morning I finally made it to York Lane, a new-ish laneway café/bar located, funnily enough, on York Lane. It’s right by Wynyard station (convenient) and was one of the recipients of the City of Sydney grants to spruce up our dingy laneways. It’s definitely done that. Senhor R and I arrived to find York Lane littered with just the right amount of milk crates. It’s a cosy place with recycled floorboards, pops of colour in the form of red stools, menus scrawled on walls and windows with whiteboard pen and upcycled everything else. It definitely had the look, but there’s more to a good cafe than thoughtful, trendy aesthetics. And I don’t just mean great coffee or food.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/12/cafe-review-york-lane-sydney-cbd/feed/ 11
