The lovely Sammie from The Annoyed Thyroid nominated me for the Sisterhood of the World Blogging Award. I was very humbled to be amongst such an awesome group of nominees including; Jess from A Little Part of the World ,  Jo from You Had Us at Hello, Shannon from My 2Morrows, Vicki from Boiled Eggs and Soldiers, Karin from Calm to Conniption, Shannon from Oh Creative Day, Dr Sash from From The Left Field, Nicole from The Builder’s Wife and Kim from Land of Zonkt.

Basically, Sammie had to answer 10 questions from her award nominator and then she asks 10 questions to her award nominees. So here are my answers to Sammie’s 10 questions. I hope that you enjoy learning a little more about me:

And then here are my 10 questions for my award nominees:

1.    Savoury or sweet?

I think I would have to say savoury if I am cooking it and sweet if I don’t have to put in any effort.

2.    My food nemesis is tofu. What’s yours?

That would have to be kale. Some people like to call it a ‘super food’, I just think that it is super disgusting. I’ve tried cooking with it and eating it in meals that I have purchases and I just think it is a waste of time. Ain’t nobody got time for food that isn’t delicious {even if it is nutritious}.

3.    What’s your speciality a la maison?

That’s a hard one – I think our friend would request me to make ribs the most when they come for dinner. But I am also known for my lasanga, my Nutella cheesecake and my pavlova roll.

4.    If you had to eat one food for the rest of your life what would it be?

I don’t think I could do it. I was thinking about soy and linseed toast with mashed avocado and fetta from The Cheese Project, but how could I never enjoy that same toast with mascarpone and cranberries? Oh not to mention that picking toast to eat for the rest of your life just seems crazy when Australia has so many great culinary treats.

5.    If you could have dinner with a famous person, who would it be and where would you go?

I’d love to have dinner with Jamie Oliver in his original restaurant in London. I’ve never been to England {even though I have been to Europe a few times}. And I would love to meet Jamie and feast on his culinary knowledge.

6. What dish would you make if you were auditioning for Masterchef?

I auditioned for Masterchef with Andy Allen {the winner of series 4} and made the top 100. I made a pork entrée – similar to this recipe here – it’s really hard because you have to take the food cooked and cooled, to be assembled in front of the judges {and eaten cold}. So it isn’t like you can anything you like from your repertoire.

7. What’s the best restaurant you’ve ever been to?

That’s also a tough one – I think it would be a tie between three places:

·      Sepia in Sydney, Australia when I finished up working for the University of Sydney.

·       Astrid & Gastón in Lima, Peru when I finished up trekking through South America for 6 weeks {little did I know that it was actually one of Lima’s top gastronomic restaurants when I rocked up in my Gorex, no makeup and my braid falling out}.

·      Courgette in Canberra for an anniversary dinner.

8. What’s the best holiday you’ve ever had?

My honeymoon – travelling through Europe for 8 weeks – we saw Italy, Croatia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Germany. We caught up with family, we ate everything, we saw amazing things and we conceived Mr Moo!

9. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

I have never been an early bird. I’m pretty happy that both of my boys will sleep until around 7am each morning. I try and stay up to get things done, after the boys have gone to bed {but since the Little Dude is still waking 2-3 times a night to breast feed I haven’t been staying up that late lately either}.

10. What’s one thing you would never do or never eat?

‘Never say never’. I love food and I love the memories that sharing food with the ones we love creates. Trying new foods can create wonderful memories {even if the food itself it’s that great}.

Here are my questions:

1. Why did you start your blog?
2. What makes you smile?
3. Do you like a home cooked meal or do you prefer to go out to a restaurant?
4. Did you attend the #PBEvent? And if you didn’t did you follow it on social media?
5. Who is your favourite person to follow on Instagram?
6. What accomplishment are you most proud of?
7. What would your theme song be?
8. If you had to eat a vegetable everyday for the rest of your life, what vegetable would it be? And what would be the top five recipes that you would make with that vegetable?
9. If you could be one Australian blogger, who would you be?
10. What are you looking forward to achieving this Spring?
