My long distance friend, Carli Ratcliff, likes to eat well and responsibly.
In The Virtuous Meat (SBS, Hunter Gatherer, July 29) she reminds us that a Jamaican staple, Goat, is the way to go if we want to keep eating meat while reducing our carbon footprint.
Getting updated on food news and events down under means having a taste of winter in the middle of my hot hot summer.
Award winning restaurant, The Lake House in Daylesford, Victoria, had Truffles on their Mind in July.
Amongst their guests was Tim Terry of Truffles Australis often called Australia's truffle king.
Located in Tasmania, they also offer Truffle Tours if you enjoy a stroll in oak plantations near Western Tiers mountain range.
In the drinks section, Delicious magazine in its June 2008 edition shared a Vicar's Tipple as winter warmer.
All you need is 600ml lager, 2 tbs honey (plus extra to serve) and 150ml ginger wine
(serves 4).
Goodbye Australia, hello lunch, time for a light salad on this warm summer day…
