From food high in the sky to down as well as filthy in Sydney’s night noodle markets, we’ve got a great deal to tell you in our foodie discovers this month:
Spencer Cocoa chocolate
On our recent trip to Mudgee, we were lucky sufficient to find the delights of this small chocolate makers.
Main man, Luke sees the cocoa growers in Vanuatu twice a year for the gather as well as has an outstanding connection with the locals. They grow the beans as well as partially process them, then Spencer ships whatever back to Mudgee where the choc is made.
Dark, rich, beautifully flavoured as well as tempered to a satisfying snap as you bite it, this is the very best choc we’ve tasted. as well as the packaging is excellent too. great deals of soft foil wrapping as well as the embossed cocoa leaves on the surface of the bar provide you with a extremely luxe experience.

New Qantas economic climate dinners
I always dread the moment the flight team begin dishing out dinner at 35,000ft.
What will I be attempting to digest this time? What dressed up bin juice will I be dribbling down myself as I hunker over my measly tray, the headrest of my reclining neighbour pressing into my forehead?
Well, perhaps that’s all about to change. We were invited to a special preview of the new Qantas economic climate dinners recently, as well as I must say, I’d most likely pick a Qantas night flight next time just for the grub.
New packaging means fresher food, much better flavours as well as more realistic textures. as well as gone are the prison canteen trays; whatever is available in a deli style box.
The range: farfalle basil pesto pasta with prosciutto as well as roasted hazelnuts, butter poultry curry with rice as well as a naan bread, quinoa, beetroot, goat’s cheese as well as felafel salad, as well as chickpea, pumpkin as well as couscous salad.
Not bad, ay?
