When I lived in Sydney I used to trek across town to visit the fish market for my weekly market shop. Fast forward twenty years to Sydney, as drop dead gorgeous as ever, but with the addition of amazing farmers’ markets like Carriageworks. Yesterday my brilliant cooking pal @thehungrychook invited me to be part of her #mercatoecucina series, and we started our day amongst the produce stalls at this fab place, which I have long admired from the pages of Vanessa’s feed and was just beside my self to finally be visiting, basket in hand. We shopped, we met the growers and then we went back to Vanessa’s lovely kitchen to cook and eat together. Thanks to our special group @mummatrad @vicki__mano @celiasweetrelish @dane_anthony for coming, to growers and stall holders for doing what you do so well @vannellacheese @block11organics @fishbutchery and most of all to Vanessa for inviting me, and for her superlative attention to detail and organization. #cook the season #lovethemarkets #winterveg #frommarketotable
Drinking quite a bit of coffee, but filling my eyes with views of the Yarra, and nourishing my soul with time spent alongside the bold and inspiring women that I am drinking 3/4 lattes with. Spent this morning with Fiona from @fijibookdrive , who created and cares for the best little charity, that this year sent just shy of 50,000 books to Fijian School Libraries. Because no kid can ever have too many books at his disposal, and books are for sharing. I love it. Follow @fijibookdrive and get in touch to donate, volunteer or get your school involved. #socialmediaforsocialgood #readersareleaders #fijibookdrive #inliteracyliesempowerment
