Breakfast Tray Bake

‘Tis the season to have friends around for brunch with a bottle of Bolly’, fa-la-la-la-la… Serve a few or a few more with a one-tray egg, bacon, sausage and potato wonder!

‘Scandi’ Pea Pancake

Inspired by New Nordic Kitchen at Prospect, this savoury pancake topped with a soft poached egg is ready to blitz and go in minutes!

Potato, bacon, fresh herbs and eggs: this is the ultimate one pan lazy weekend breakfast in bed food, so I beg you all to make this and Instagram your foodporn photos with hashtags like #neverleavingthisbedexcepttomakemorehash

Pear and Berry Bircher

If I want to feel particularly virtuous, I make sure that I am totally prepared for the day ahead the night before – including a satisfying, simple and healthy breakfast that is ready to go in the fridge.

Stunning outlook. Sophisticated reds. Gorgeous Labrador. I mean, what more do you want from a cellar door?! @samuels_gorge #wine #southaustralianwine #mclarenvale #mclarenvalewine #southaustralia #cellardoor #labradorsofinstagram #labrador

Not sure it gets any funkier than @alphaboxdice #wine #southaustralianwine #mclarenvale #mclarenvalewine #southaustralia #cellardoor #lifeimprovementplan

Little stop in @hither_yon - cool space, nice wines, lovely relaxed personalised seated tasting. The rosé was the pick of the bunch here. #wine #southaustralianwine #mclarenvale #mclarenvalewine #southaustralia #cellardoor

Today’s dining experience was brought to us by my sister-in-law and brother-in-law who gifted me a voucher for the @salopianinn and I’m beyond grateful. As per usual, the chef selection menu was our go-to. We love a tasting menu because we don’t have to make decisions but we also end up trying things we never usually would have ordered. Case in point: the slow cooked kangaroo tail. I was disappointed when this was brought out to us: I don’t believe in eating Skippy. But this was slow cooked to perfection, not gamey, and with a beautiful caramelisation and Japanese inspired sauce that made this delectable and a bit of a stand out for me. The prawn dumplings and house made steamed pork bun kept those Asian flavours building nicely. Left of field from the chef selection was the middle eastern beef gozleme that interrupted the otherwise Asian vibe and flavour profile of our courses, and while the slow cooked herby meat inside was delicious, the pastry crust was just a little too tough to make this easy eating - though I loved the fresh olive, chickpea and crispy broad bean medley that topped this course. But we need to talk about that chocolate icecream sandwich with candied fennel and caramel sauce... 😍 I was unaware to this point that candying fennel was a thing but it’s basically what I need on all my desserts going forward. Our lovely waitress happily boxed up the remainder of that slow cooked turmeric lamb for us to reheat for dinner, though we are not thinking about food for the near future... The gin selection is extensive and we stayed local in our choices with @kispirits mulberry gin and @amblesidedistillers No. 8 Botanical and Kifaru gins each accompanied by @lovestrangelove tonic and ginger beer. The Kifaru gin is raising money for @zoossa to bring white rhinos back to @zoos_sa Monarto Zoo. So we did our bit for the community by drinking our gin! 🍸 . . . #mclarenvale #southaustralia #southaustralianfood #diningout #gin #adelaide #food #foodstagram #wheretoeat #wheretoeatadelaide #instafood #chefselection #ichoosesa #fleurieufood #gin
