One of the best things about walking in the door of Ginuary Hobart on Saturday was being handed a sampling glass, a program, and a mini Lady Hester doughnut filled with apricot jam and gin. Hello, yes. Delicious. (Ok, so I didn't get handed one of these because I was madly stuffing programs into sampling … Continue reading Ginuary 29th: Lady Hester doughnuts.
Ginuary 23rd: Hotel Chocolat gin truffles.
I'm a known hoarder, and I'm not an absolute fiend for chocolate, which means when I'm gifted something delicious in July, if I really, really want to, I can save it until January. Some of it, anyway. (Half of it, to be exact.) This sweet set of treats was lovingly posted to me from a … Continue reading Ginuary 23rd: Hotel Chocolat gin truffles.
Ginuary 16th: Gin & Tonic chocolate block.
I had grand plans for today but the best laid plans mean that sometimes you end up eating half a block of dark chocolate as consolation.

It's made in Scotland by Coco Chocolatier but somehow ended up … Continue reading Ginuary 16th: Gin & Tonic chocolate block.

Ginuary 4th: Gin & Tonic Fridge Pickles.
All day in a beautiful location in Tasmania... with no ice. What was I going to do? I couldn't just wait until I got home to do my daily gin, I needed to get The Shot. It was time... to crack open the fridge pickles. Gin & Tonic Fridge Pickles a handful of small cucumbers … Continue reading Ginuary 4th: Gin & Tonic Fridge Pickles.
Ginuary 21st: Watermelon with Gin.
Margaret Fulton, you huge filthy cop out. This isn't a recipe. This is chucking gin at some watermelon balls and leaving them in the fridge for a few hours, then shoving a couple of mint sprigs in it. No, I refuse to post your "recipe", Margaret Fulton. But also thank you because this was just … Continue reading Ginuary 21st: Watermelon with Gin.
