This year's recipe obsession has been this one. This one right here. Tomato Jam 1 large shallot, minced 1 Tbsp EVOO … Continue reading Ginuary 13th: Tomato Jam.
Ginuary 12th: the Gibson @ Society Salamanca.
One of the best things about this Ginuary is the excuse to finally get to a couple of newer venues in my city of Hobart.

Living the … Continue reading Ginuary 6th: gin & lime cake.
