You really have to be starving if you are going to have a sandwich from I’m Starvin! The sandwiches are huge but I’m getting ahead of myself.
I’m Starvin! is a great little sandwich shop on Bridge street (corner of George street) in the CBD. Described best as a slightly bigger than a hole in the wall, I’m Starvin! is another sandwich shop that caters to the business babes every week day. Continue reading

Mac and cheese is one of my favourite meals to whip up when I'm too lazy to spend a long time in the kitchen. Taking about 30 minutes to prep and bake, it's a staple dish at my place. Over the years, I've added and played around with the ingredients (hence the leeks and pancetta additions) so that it is a bit more than simply macaroni pasta covered in cheese. As always I haven't given exact amounts as everyone is different and so you can amend the method to suit your fridge and of course, hunger pangs. Continue reading

Lauren Moorhouse, 22 year old international student currently studying in Sydney, but originally from the UK and Singapore. I started this blog so I could highlight some of the great places you can get good food and great ingredients in Sydney. Also, I'm going to be attempting to become a better cook using the local and seasonally available produce here. I've been told not to bother as it's something I will simply never get. But apart from being utterly stubborn, I feel that being able to cook is pretty important if you don't want to become a massive tub of lard living off take away food.
