Little Taste of the Dahlia on duck at Dahlia Lounge – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 29 March 2012

I was thrilled that the first Little Taste of the Dahlia this year was duck. I’ve never cooked duck at home and was keen to learn the basic skills of the game. With crimson walls and amber lights, the Dahlia Lounge had a sultry feel. The dining room was set for the evening service. The [...]

Seatown – Pike Place Market, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 22 March 2012

I check the weather forecast every day. In Sydney it was the maximum temperature. In Seattle it’s the precipitation. There have been winter days where I turn on all the lights at home, in defiance of the stubborn clouds. Flickering candles and mugs of steaming tea are comforting but there is optimism and contentment derived [...]

Serious Pie pizza class – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 15 March 2012

I have two pizza classes scheduled within a month. I was at Serious Pie Downtown on a Wednesday morning for the first one. The pizza classes are held on weekdays and Saturdays before the restaurant opens. The city felt lethargic on a cloudy midweek day and it was a little odd walking into an empty [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Slàinte at Palace Ballroom – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 30 January 2012

Mr S has Scottish ancestry and we travelled through the countryside several years ago. I fell in love with the fields of heather, the glens (valleys), lochs (lakes), bens (mountains) and castles, the lilting accents, and the hearty Scottish fare. Every village, town and city honoured its history and were blessed with natural beauty. We celebrated the life and [...]

Chaats from Bombay pop up dinner by Devarshi Patel

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 14 December 2011

I check the Tom Douglas website regularly for new events. They’re only advertised online and sometimes tweeted. I noticed the chaats from Bombay pop up dinner by Devarshi Patel listed a couple of days after I returned from Australia. I made a purchase immediately as the first one, Thrilla in Manila pop up dinner by Herschell Taghap, [...]

Tom Douglas Cookbook Social at Palace Ballroom – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 02 December 2011

I attended the annual Tom Douglas Cookbook Social held at the Palace Ballroom yesterday. Christmas carols were playing and it was a convivial atmosphere. A food lover’s mistletoe, cookbooks tied with ribbon bows dangled from the ceiling. Authors were dispersed around the room, their stalls laden with cookbooks and samples. Cute CakeSpy illustrations greeted patrons. [...]

Thrilla in Manila pop up dinner by Herschell Taghap

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 06 October 2011

From Southeast Asia to the Mediterranean, and North Africa to South America, Sydney is a multicultural city with cuisines from across the continents. Authentic or fusion, rustic or formal, the eateries are diverse and neighbourhoods specialise in Turkish, Vietnamese, Lebanese, Italian, Korean and beyond. But I have never eaten a Filipino meal until the Thrilla in Manila pop up dinner [...]

Little Taste of the Dahlia with Oyster Bill from Taylor Shellfish Farms

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 22 September 2011

I have an aversion to raw food. I dislike crunchy salads and have been eating sashimi for just over a year. I’m suspicious that the glistening flesh will be slimy and fishy. I now love salmon and tuna sashimi, and progressing with oysters. I attended the Little Taste of the Dahlia with Oyster Bill from [...]
