Belle Epicurean – Madison Park, Seattle

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

Seattle was blessed with consecutive weekends of glorious weather. The feeling of sunshine on bare skin is so restorative and we had a serene afternoon at the Washington Park Arboretum and the Japanese Garden, strolling and gazing at the blooming trees. We leisurely looped the arboretum and garden, and had afternoon tea at Belle Epicurean. [...]

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 [...]

The Calf and Kid Cheese 101 – Capitol Hill, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 29 February 2012

We have been foiled in several attempts to dine at Sitka & Spruce in the past year. The first was a walk-in rejection with nearly an hour wait. The second was an abruptly terminated phone call when I requested a table for eight during the festive season. The third was a hasty retreat due to [...]

Momofuku Seiōbo – Sydney, Australia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 17 January 2012

It’s been nearly two months since our meal at Momofuku Seiōbo. David Chang‘s first restaurant outside of New York City is located in The Star. The owners of the only casino in Sydney spent one billion dollars on the refurbishment over two years. Torrential rain and peak hour traffic had us worried we would be [...]

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 [...]

106 Pine – Pike Place Market, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 07 December 2011

A group of friends gathered at 106 Pine for mid week wine and cheese. Next to Chocolate Box, both are boutiques specialising in Northwest goods. With adjacent entrances and a common wall with two gaps, the joie de vivre of chocolate, wine and cheese are intertwined. A wooden table in the bay window was laden with Christmas [...]

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 05 December 2011

On a gloomy day I challenged myself to walk up to emmer&rye. It was a crisp morning but I warmed up quickly on the Counterbalance. I had to pause for a couple of minutes after the steep inclines before entering the restaurant for a Keren Brown event with Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg, authors of The Food [...]
