GLEBE MARKET

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Every Saturday the public school in Glebe turns into a creative hub, with students, fashion designers, musicians and the usual trendy indie kids.

Chilling out at the Chai Cafe in between all the vintage clothes, shoes and books. Here you can observe people walking by sitting on a pillow on the ground, sipping on a chilled chai latte.

Turkish gozleme! These are a must have when visiting the market. Try the minced lamb ones or the feta and spinach.

You will find the market located on the Corner of Derby Place and Glebe Pt Rd. Glebe Sydney

JOHANNA’S HARDLY BAKED “KLADDKAKA”

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Since Johanna left Sweden she has been trying to find the prefect “kladdkaka”, a swedish chocolate cake. She has been unsuccessful and the solution was to bake it herself, and I’m lucky enough to be able to share the recipe here with you.

100g butter
4tbsp cocoa
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup flour

Melt the butter and add cocoa. Stir until smooth. Add the sugar, eggs and flour, stir until the mixture is even. Pour the mixture into 9 baking cups and bake in the middle of the oven on 200oC for about 11 minutes. The middle of the cake should still be creamy. Let the cakes cool, then put them in the freezer. Take them out about 10 minutes before serving. This way the cake is still creamy but stays together.

Serve with kiwi, berries and ice cream. Yummy!

LUNCH BOX

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

We are doing lunches! 45min break from a busy schedule. For most of you this is probably not anything new, but when you work as a hairdresser as we do, you normally eat in between clients, standing up, trying to bite over as much as you can when you got time.

F1000004 Last week all my collegues took my camera out for lunch. First out is Yasmin. A chicken burger is her classic choice. And she loves her coke!
