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 [...]

Emmer and Rye – Queen Anne, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 16 February 2012

Seattle enjoyed a week of sunshine in late January. The Emerald City shone, and residents and visitors dispersed outdoors to revel in its glorious beauty. I uttered the phrase ‘the mountains are out’ with glee, admiring the snow-capped range reflecting light in the solitary distance. After a Keren Brown event with authors Karen Page and [...]

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 [...]

The Capital Grille – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 11 January 2012

Disclosure: This was a complimentary meal courtesy of JGA PR. This is not a sponsored post. Weekday lunch can be a functional meal. There were times in Sydney where I gobbled sushi rolls, rice paper rolls and salads at my desk in between meetings. But a benefit of working in the city was being within walking distance to many restaurants. Some [...]

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 [...]

Bécasse Bakery – Sydney, Australia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 19 December 2011

The renovated Westfield is at the heart of the Sydney shopping district. Mirrors and polished metal feature throughout and the intersecting levels are just as confusing as the old one. Sydneysiders are shopping at the flagship stores and eating at the restaurants. From burgers to fish and chips, I love its interpretation of a food [...]

Poppy – Capitol Hill, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 30 November 2011

We only knew a handful of people when we moved to Seattle. Ms D-R, an Irish American, has been hospitable and introduced us to some of her friends. We joined them this month at Poppy for their restaurant club. The ‘host’ is rotated each month and is responsible for selecting the restaurant and booking a table. [...]

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 [...]

Cuoco – South Lake Union, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 08 August 2011

We’ve had meals with several Australians in the last couple of weeks. Some were visiting for work, others were on holiday. There’s a homely comfort to hearing an Aussie accent, laughing at a sarcastic comment and understanding a cultural reference. Our sunburnt country is girt by sea and with the exception of New Zealand, it takes many [...]

Café Campagne – Pike Place Market, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 15 July 2011

The French stormed the Bastille 222 years ago yesterday. On a cool and windy Seattle summer day, Francophiles celebrated Bastille Day across the city. I romanticise about France – the language, the food, the wine, the fashion. And the thirty five hour working week! I’m disappointed that our tentative plan for a short trip across [...]
