A great dinner and a few images that never made it to my zine Every Meal We Shared. Third last photo feat. my beautiful spotty spoon was printed and used as thank you postcards for anybody who kindly purchased my pink zine, and the second image was published in issue 01 of Isolation Zine.
Earlier this year in August, Luisa at Somekind Press asked if I had any photos of condiments in my fridge, and who was I to say no to rearranging and showing off my vast selection?
A few images for the brand new Lotus, Double Bay.
An extremely happy/sad moment to have shot for the last issue of Urbis magazine – the Sydney home of art advisor and gallery owner Sally Dan-Cuthbert.
I have some words and photos in the latest issue of Peddler Journal – my Cypriot family’s tradition of making flaounes. Buy it, read it, enjoy all things encased in dough with this incredible Dumpling issue I am very lucky to be part of.
The studio and practice of Rox de Luca, who spends her time accumulating shards of confetti-like plastic found on and in the beach, for The Culture Trip.
A few golden images of Regiment CBD from a city walk with Lendlease.
I’ve been in Japan and am currently spending free time working on my next Holiday Notes book. In the meantime, here’s a handful of things that moved me while I was away.
Anytime I'm in Melbourne I eat the precision crispy butter thing (the one on the right has apple pie in there) bestowed to me on the concrete monolith at Lune Croissanterie. The American Doughnut Kitchen van at Queen Victoria Market reminds me of being a kid, as does semolina porridge (thanks, Alimentari). Cake at Beatrix, Market Lane Coffee, another walk around the market – these are all good things to do in a whirlwind trip.
I told my husband if there’s one temple to see in Kyoto, it’s this one – Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion. The postcard of my dreams. The structure we see today is a reconstruction finished in 1955 after the original building, dating from the late 1300s, was burned down by a schizophrenic monk. The excessive gold in this design was utilised to relieve the area of any notion of death or negativity given its history of arson resulting in gaudy, golden, gilded reflection perfection.
The modern takes of classic Aria dishes by chef Joel Bickford to celebrate the restaurant’s 20th anniversary. I LOVE MINIMAL!
Whipped tarama, cod roe and tateys for North Bondi Fish on Bondi Beach. Don’t @ me.
One of the most thoughtful books I’ve owned let alone had a small part in – really happy to have a few photos in this stunning Gestalten title Story on a Plate.
It's unavoidably selfish to only speak of someone's legacy from your tiny experience once they're no longer with us, but, Doris Goddard was very kind and patient when I was a newbie on the job. Sincere, hilarious and so wise. Outtakes from The Hollywood Hotel in 2013.

Wood-fired lunch, wood-fired bread – Sydney is so lucky to now have Cherry Moon General Store in Annandale.
