Café Suisse – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 23 May 2012

I had noticed construction at Westlake Woodwerk several months ago. I always peeked into the wooden toy workshop when I walked by where the craftsmen working by the window in the natural light. The owners of Eurostyle Your Life has opened Café Suisse in the space. I had visited Switzerland once when I was a child [...]

Crumble and Flake – Capitol Hill, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 10 May 2012

I’m a little homesick after a week in London. An Antipodean feels at home in the Old Dart. The accent, the vocabulary, the cuisine, the flag, ‘it’s the vibe‘! Our local bakery in Sydney was on my route home from work. I was tempted by their afternoon discounts of croissants, lamingtons, apple pies and vanilla [...]

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 [...]

The Meadow – Boise, Portland

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 02 April 2012

My previous attempts to visit The Meadow in Portland and New York were cancelled by illness and foiled by Hurricane Irene. I was enchanted by the charismatic Mark Bitterman at a potluck last year and had imagined The Meadow as a quaint boutique. Located on the hip Mississippi Avenue in Portland, The Meadow is a [...]

Whole Foods Market Lynnwood tour

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 13 March 2012

Disclosure: I attended this event as a guest of Curator PR. This is not a sponsored post. I’m a slow grocery shopper. I browse the aisles for discounts, read the nutrition labels, convert measurements to metric, and compare brands. AmazonFresh delivers our non-perishable staples, and we’re lucky to live within walking distance to Melrose Market [...]

Adriano Zumbo – Sydney, Australia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 06 March 2012

This is a belated final post of my trip home in November. It’s been just over three months since I was in Australia and in that time we’ve had our first full winter in Seattle. There’s been plenty of rain, snow, sleet, wind and hail. But there have also been enough glorious days to sustain [...]

Dessert party with Gail Simmons at Palace Ballroom – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 05 March 2012

Presented by Book Larder, the dessert party with Gail Simmons was held at the Palace Ballroom and coincided with the Top Chef season 9 finale on leap day. I love MasterChef Australia but I haven’t watched Top Chef so I was curious about Gail‘s memoir, Talking with My Mouth Full. Banners of each chapter in [...]

Café de Lion – Queen Anne, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 20 February 2012

After a delicious lunch at emmer&rye we meandered down a block to Café de Lion for sweet treats. Named after the owners’ son, the logo of a crown and lion’s head was prominent on a textured frame. The café was decorated in an eclectic style with chocolate walls and miniature Eiffel Towers dotted throughout. Classic French [...]

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 [...]

Back to the Basics at The Pantry at Delancey – Ballard, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 26 January 2012

Sydney has more than seven times the population of Seattle but sometimes it feels like both cities have the same volume of traffic. It was gridlock en route to The Pantry at Delancey‘s Back to the Basics cooking class on a weeknight. I slowly inched towards Ballard, anxious about being on time. I noted a [...]
