Mr Romance 
I love cooking curries – especially for Mrs Romance. Over the next few Wednesdays I’ll be telling you how I cook my favourite Indian dishes in our curry series. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do! I love Indian food – it’s an indelible fact. I was born in England, so I … Read more
Ever since we both read Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential, Mrs Romance and I always take our steaks either rare or medium-rare. From this book, we gleaned that well-done steaks tend to harbour a number of meat evils that kitchens – unsurprisingly – don’t tell us. A well-done steak is often an inferior piece of meat. … Read more
We start the week off with a visit to a gallery exhibition. Lexi of Potty Mouth Mama fame has invited us to see her husband Matthew Kentmann’s collection of paintings. Matthew’s drawn his inspiration from the Australian coastline. Beautiful works. We like this one the most. There’s something quite spiritual about the collection. It reminds … Read more
How good is Friday? Best day of the week, I reckon. And I have some very strong opinions on the days of the week (Tuesdays suck). It’s pretty much a rule in our house that, if it’s Friday afternoon, Mrs Romance needs a glass of champers in her hand. It’s not up for negotiation – … Read more

Mexican food is still sweeping through Sydney like a great green white and red storm. Taco options are abound and high grade tequila has never been so popular. It’s becoming a very competitive market. **Sadly, Mr Moustache is no longer with us and has now closed.** The great thing about competition is that it drives … Read more
Mrs Romance kicks off this week with this beautiful view over breakfast. She’s enjoying her first meal of the week at the Shangri-La Hotel. It’s beautiful up here. It’s a busy week ahead of us – especially Mrs R – with the final night of the AHFA Australian Hair and Fashion Awards tonight and a … Read more
Over here in Sydney, we’re getting ready to turn our clocks back an hour, pull out our coats and bunker down for the winter. Granted, the coats are more just jackets and by ‘bunkering down’ I really mean not eating lunch in the park with your sunnies on. Be that as it may, the Starks … Read more
Three parts woman, one part gin. That’s how the Gin Queen Caroline Childerley describes herself. Pretty cool, isn’t it? It’s the Gin Queen who introduced us to some of the incredible domestic gin being produced by craft distillers in Australia. Mrs Romance and I attended Caroline’s inaugural gin masterclass in Melbourne recently. It inspired us … Read more
