Liquorish Bistro & Bar
Dined at Liquorice in Oxford st, Bulimba some time ago. Everything was nice tasting! However there was a debate on the location of where the scallops where from. A friend was convinced they weren't real due to their texture and size!

Sweet Mandarin Asian Food, East Brisbane
My family loves our local Chinese restaurant, The Sweet Mandarin. Owner Ben is very friendly, and his parents are the owners of another great Chinese restaurant in the Valley. The Crab dish has noodles underneath and is so good!

Breakfast at Baroque Bistro
While in Sydney I was taken to Baroque Bistro at the Rocks, George st. The food was nice and simple. The cheese on the Croquet Monsieur however was too strong! The French toast delicious and the home made muesli standard with lovely presentation! The vibes and fit out where both very nice.

Eating out: Italian!
Favorite Italian Place in Brisbane! I always order the 'Giannini's Favorite' Pizza, which is prosciutto, rocket and Parmesan. For my main I usually get the Risotto with chicken and mushrooms! My mum is obsessed with the scallops entre and when she is attempting to be healthy the Seafood Bouillabaisse. Gianni is a very friendly man, creating a homely and authentic vibe throughout his restaurant. The staff are all very friendly and mostly all have an interesting accent!

Eating out: Viet Salads!
My favorite Vietnamese place is in West End, Quan Than. Nothing beats it! I highly recommended the Grilled Beef Vermicelli salad, the Chicken is a hit too although I can never trust it. Seems crazy, I know! I also love the Steamed Dim Sims, the grated carrot in them makes them taste very fresh!

Ice cream by the beach!
I always love grabbing a nice Copenhagen ice cream whilst being at Noosa. I tried being healthy by getting the frozen yogurt with blended berries.. It turned out to be very delicious!

Black Garlic Risotto and Brucshetta
I recently just did a cooking video for these two wonderful dishes! They are so simple and easy.. Very different with the added texture and taste of Black Garlic. Black Garlic is available in Woolworth's stores around Australia!
Black Garlic Risotto:
Ingredients
◦1 – 1.3 litres of vegetable stock
◦125g butter
◦4 tablespoons of olive oil
◦1 onion – very finely chopped
◦4 peeled cloves of black garlic – finely sliced.
◦400g risotto rice (Arborio or Carnoli)
◦1 small glass of white wine
◦225g fresh mushrooms – sliced
◦25g Parmesan cheese – freshly grated
◦50g mascarpone cheese
◦Freshly chopped parsley – optional
◦Salt and black pepper Instructions
1. In a large pan heat the stock until it reaches simmering point.
2. Prepare the mushroom base. Melt 50g of butter in a frying pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the mushrooms and some salt and pepper. Heat slowly until the mushrooms are cooked.
3. Heat 50 g butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan. Add the finely chopped onion and sweat until soft and translucent. Now add the black garlic. Mix the black garlic into the onion mixture.
4. Now add the rice and stir until well coated. Pour in the glass of white wine. Allow it to reduce until there is no liquid in the pan. Stir continuously.
5. Add a ladleful of vegetable stock, stirring continuously. As soon as the liquid is absorbed add another ladleful of stock and continue this until the rice is cooked. Stir continuously.
6. The rice should be slightly ‘al dente’ but soft and loose. When you are happy with the consistency, stir in the mushroom mixture and the pan juices.
7. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, 25g of butter and 30 – 50g of mascarpone cheese \
8. Season to taste with salt and black pepper Serving suggestion – Stir in some freshly chopped parsley and drizzle with a little truffle oil
