bills - Darlinghurst

When we lived in Sydney, for some reason, I never got the opportunity to have breakfast at 'bills'. Now everyone knows of him, how he started and his famous scrambled eggs and coconut bread.

I have made the coconut bread often. I toast a slice - or two, place a generous pat of butter on top, dredge it with icing sugar, drizzle generously with maple syrup and then sit quietly by myself and enjoy the moments of bliss while I eat this divine breakfast bread.

A recent day trip to Sydney was started with breakfast at bills. While I forgot to take a photo of the beautiful deep pink juice, I did remember the large communal table and the famous scrambled eggs.
By the time we left people were standing around the walls waiting for a table.

Assorted Foodie Bites

I've been having a bit of a tidy up in the photo file, hoping to get on track with some regular postings. Here are a few 'interesting' photos.

This is Simon Johnson's shop in Subiaco - WA. Wonderful, wonderful food. At the back the flash is reflecting off the glass walls of the cheese room - yum.

TLC Olives - Tequila, lime and chilli.

My purchases from Simon Johnson - real Turking Delight from Turkey, Valrhona chocolate, some Italian sardines and the most amazing nougat from Italy.

Lots of posts and TV shows recently about Beer Can Chicken. Confused my poor husband as I set it up but it tasted divine. The chicken is sitting on a half filled beer can and then roasted in this position on the BBQ with the hood closed. No beery taste, just lots of succulent chicken. Will definately be trying this one again.

At last I got to try a macaron. I've read about them, I've made them, I've searched for them in Hobart and Perth, WA with no success. A day trip to Sydney for the Good Food Affare meant I could drop into the Lindt shop at Cockle Bay and finally try one, or two or was that 18!
