We coffee addicts, and even those of us who are coffee dabblers, usually have a go-to joint for our caffeine fix. But what of those particularly hectic workdays when you barely even have time to leave your desk? Or those rare and marvellous occasions when you find yourself travelling through unfamiliar lands, and you find that a good cup o’ joe is all too rare, and none too marvellous? In these situations, I put it to you that the consistent, tea-like gradual release caffeine buzz that is Aeropress is your best bet.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2014/08/aeropress-is-your-backup/feed/ 7 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2014/06/shoreditch1/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2014/06/shoreditch1/#comments Mon, 16 Jun 2014 19:27:06 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=6418 We step up to the passport counter in Heathrow and the Border Force man takes a look at our pair of mismatched passports; one Aussie and one EU. ‘So how do you two know each other then?’ An innocent enough-sounding question, it has the air of small talk at a dull party, but it is asked in quite an aggressive way, and I’m confused after 7 hours of flying. It seems out of context and I feel my answer will determine (or rather, this man will) whether or not we’re allowed in to Britain. Struggling for a middle ground between recounting our entire romantic history and telling him to get fucked, I blurt out ‘We’re, you know...in a relationship?’ He seems ok with this and after determining we’re here for a holiday and a conference he lets us through.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2014/06/shoreditch1/feed/ 8 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/08/pao-de-queijo/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/08/pao-de-queijo/#comments Thu, 18 Aug 2011 21:41:41 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=1871 I don’t know about you, but travel for me is mostly about food. When I eat the thing from the place in the actual place of the thing, well, that’s not a very articulate way of putting it, but in the words of Maeve O’Meara, it’s a revelation. And there’s no better way to attempt to relive your travel than to eat the thing that you ate in the place of the thing, but this time, eat it at YOUR place. I found myself at a bit of a loose end this week, so I decided to make Pão de Queijo (Cheese Puffs), a typical Brazilian snack/breakfast food which I don’t even particularly like, but I wish I was in Brasil right now and what better way to celebrate that than to bake. The main ingredients are manioc/tapioca starch, cheese, eggs, liquid and fat. ]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/08/pao-de-queijo/feed/ 0 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/07/south-america-announcement/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/07/south-america-announcement/#comments Thu, 07 Jul 2011 21:35:49 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=1806 With that in mind, even though we’re off to Argentina and Brazil for a month, the Corridor won’t stop kitchening (or something), and rest assured we’ll be eating, cooking, café hopping and eating (definitely gonna be doing at least twice as much eating as anything else) all over the place, Chilean volcanos permitting.
