Ken’s Artisan Pizza – Buckman, Portland

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 24 April 2012

It was a blissful afternoon of shopping in Portland. Alder & Co., Canoe, Flora, Hive and Woonwinkel were a modern collection of stores with curated homeware, jewellery, artworks and furniture. The contemporary aesthetics and stylish designs were stimulating! We re-caffeinated at Caffe Allora and joined the queue at Ken’s Artisan Pizza for dinner. We were [...]

Dinette – Capitol Hill, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 21 March 2012

I’m always nervous suggesting European restaurants to our French friends. Thankfully we loved the cosy ambience and homely fare of Dinette. I hummed the tune of ‘Four Seasons In One Day‘ by Crowded House all day. Snow, sleet, wind, rain. Repeat. There were moments of brilliant light, silver beams refracted off pewter clouds. On Olive [...]

Steamworks – Gastown, Vancouver

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 23 February 2012

Christmas in Whistler was bookended by a night and a day in Vancouver. In search for pub fare, we strolled to Gastown for burgers and beers at Steamworks. A historic neighbourhood of heritage listed Victorian buildings and cobblestone streets, at the heart of Gastown is the steam powered clock. Puffs of steam veiled the twinkling [...]

Foodportunity at Palace Ballroom – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 07 February 2012

I attended my first Foodportunity yesterday evening at the Palace Ballroom, a networking event founded by the inimitable Keren Brown. A screen projected the live Foodportunity Twitter feed. The lovely Keren spoke briefly to thank Foodportunity’s sponsors and supporters, and drew the winners of the business card raffle. My first taste was at Metropolitan Market, the main sponsor of [...]

Oddfellows Café – Capitol Hill, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 23 January 2012

The weekend was slick with rain. We revelled in the precipitation after a week of snow, sleet, hail, ice, slush and sub zero Celsius temperatures. Salt and pepper mounds of ice were the melting remnants of ‘snow-mageddon, snow-pocaplyse, Western Washington winter walloping’. We splashed up to Capitol Hill for brunch. Oddfellows Café was a convenient location for our hobbling [...]

Bearfoot Bistro – Whistler, British Columbia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 29 December 2011

It snowed in Whistler on Christmas Day and I loved it. Snowflakes zigzagged gently from the sky and dusted every surface. I was delighted with my first white Christmas. The powdered slopes were serene and the magic carpet was quiet. We skied in the morning and relaxed in the afternoon. Bearfoot Bistro was recommended by Naomi and was conveniently located [...]

The Little Larder – Brisbane, Australia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 08 December 2011

On our last day in Brisbane we bartered a ride to the airport for breakfast at The Little Larder. A popular café in the riverside neighbourhood of New Farm, it was quiet mid morning on a weekday. There was temporary reprieve from the heat and humidity of a subtropical spring. A creative chalkboard in colourful calligraphy [...]

The Gunshop Café – Brisbane, Australia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 01 December 2011

We had a full schedule for our recent trip home to Australia. We gallivanted from Sydney to Darwin and Brisbane over two and a half weeks. Our gatherings with family and friends oscillated between sentimental favourites to new recommendations. On our first day in Brisbane, we sought reprieve from the humid heat at The Gunshop Café. Located [...]

SousVide Supreme Demi – egg

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 28 November 2011

Disclosure: I received a demo product from Duo PR. This is not a sponsored post. A dish that I’ve frequently reflected on from the Sharone Hakman and SousVide Supreme event is the eggs with asparagus and brioche croutons. The freshness of the ingredients was highlighted by cooking them sous vide, their essence presented on a plate. [...]

Quinn’s – Capitol Hill, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 14 November 2011

After a fun afternoon tenpin bowling at Garage Billiards, we sought reprieve from the darkness that was the end of daylight saving. The sister restaurant of the soon-to-be relocated Restaurant Zoë, Quinn’s gastropub is at the busy corner of Pike and 10th. I love the architecture of Capitol Hill. Single or double story buildings are converted into spacious [...]
