As a huge lover of all things Italian: pizza, pasta, bruschetta, cheese, lasagne and most of all garlic bread… the list goes on, becoming gluten free was a huge struggle for me. With gluten free alternatives always being at an extra cost, I have begun to avoid Italian food all together. There are alternatives in…
Roxie’s Garden Bar and Eatery- A Hidden Gem
It isn’t often I write a restaurant review anymore, however, after a trip to Roxie’s today, I felt inspired to do so. Set slightly further afield than the main streets of Adelaide’s CBD, we came across Roxie’s purely by chance, on our way back from Flinders Street Christmas Market. I must say, a Christmas market…
My Fijian Foodie Experience
After a hectic, busy and lively semester at Flinders University I was well in need of a holiday. I am not very good at relaxing, and love keeping busy and experiencing everything a destination has to offer, so Poppy and myself booked a guided tour around Viti Levu, Fiji’s main island.

Comfort Eating, Uni Stress and Joe Wicks’ Blueberry Oat Muffins Recipe
During exam season I find it really hard to watch what I eat. With the lack of sleep, constantly whirring mind, and a room covered in cue cards and revision notes, comfort eating really seems to be a common coping mechanism for myself, and no doubt, others in the same position. When trying to remember…

Melbourne Foodie Experiences- Hardware Societe and Much More!
As soon as I have booked a holiday- and, perhaps, even before- I begin to trawl through blogs, google searches and social media to try and find some hidden gems for eating and drinking. My trip to Melbourne was no exception to this. I have had a list on my phone for weeks of cafes,…
Satay Sweet Potato Curry Recipe
The past few weeks I’ve been trying to eat healthy, exercise regularly and do all my uni work, and I feel like I’ve not taken time to do things I enjoy, including cooking. So, today I took myself off to the shops to fill my fridge with exciting new ingredients for the week ahead. Pasadena…
Cauliflower and Chickpea Burger/Hash Recipe
I was unsure about blogging this, mainly because it didn’t turn out at all as I had planned. The original dish was supposed to be a veggie burger, however, I didn’t have some very important utensils, for example a potato masher, and therefore, my burgers didn’t work at all. Instead I was left with something…
