Sorry for the lack of Blogging, Its a bit slack i know! but things have been hectic! for real!!

Just finished writing all of my recipes for my new book which will be out in November. We still have a way to go with editing etc. I will be in Melbourne from the 7th of April doing the Photography. Also writing recipes for NW magazine (52 a year) and have another shoot with Delicious in April to get another three months out of the way!

The restaurant is going full steam ahead, its all very exciting! the just did the hydraulics at the end of last week (does not sound to exciting) This is one of the Major jobs!! We have a holding web page up at www.southbanksurfclub.com.au and hopefully will be live shortly.  PR shots were taken on Thursday capturing the mood of the site and surrounding area. I am also very excited about the fact that our table ware has arrived! Two years ago I colaborated with Australian Fine China and  Robin Levien from London (an amazing Designer)  on designing a range of table ware called “Beachcomber” its now in stock and we will be using it at the surf club.

In the next couple of weeks we will start to advertise for staff both Kitchen and front of house. So if you like in Brisbane or fancy a move to this beautiful river city send me your CV

I hope you all did your bit on Saturday night for Earth Hour!! i am going to do  my bit to reduce my carbon foot print. Just spent sunday in the garden sorting out my worm farm and Bokashi bin and am going to planting my winter veg crop!

Also Finally started swimming again after the mental damage incurred doing the Rottnest swim. I can finally swim without feeling the dread that I felt in the first 30 minutes of that swim and am now looking forward to getting in shape and thinking about the next challenge “opening the restaurant”
