The Book Kitchen, the place to start a good weekend. They serve Single Origin coffee and breakfast prepared using organic produce directly form Sydney markets. The big bookshelf with old and new cookbooks are there for you to browse and get ideas from. Why not plan the next meal while you’re having one? They are open for dinner Wednesday to Saturday, and for breakfast and lunch 7 days a week.

The bakery where there always is a queue. The pastries, sourdough breads and muffins are all worth the wait. And despite the length of the line, it normally doesn’t take too long. In fact, you actually need the time to make a selection from all the mouth watering options.
We tried a Rhubarb muffin and a pastry with currants. Both delicious!

Finally! About a year ago I had a pile of handwritten recipes from all corners of the world, mostly from friends and family. Recipes I thought deserved a better way of being stored and looked after. Now it’s a book containing 40 of my friends’ (and my own) favorites dishes. They are all easy recipes with some interesting twists. Most of them are as healthy as they are simple, and work well for busy bees who don’t like spending half a day in the kitchen.

This guy loves to dance! Quite entertaining to watch. He’s an eccentric New Yorker, who just released his self titled album in April 2010. It’s funky, electronic and poppy.
Or “Negerbollar” as they’re called in Sweden. Ellen Marie made these small balls for the Manly market last Saturday and they were a huge success. Try them yourself, they are easy to make and eat!

Mix everything, except the coffee, combine and then add coffee. Roll them together and roll the balls in grated coconut. Yummy!
“Somedays” store/gallery is hidden just of crown street in Surry Hills. Worth checking out.
It’s a funky warehouse style gallery, were you can find the latest fashion from Scandinavia. They stock brands like Cheap Monday, Happy Endings, and Won Hundred.

I seem to be drawn to Swedish music at the moment. I should probably instead promote Norwegian bands. Well I’m open for suggestions if any one has any! And yes I do love Røyksopp, Whitest Boy Alive and Kings of Convenience.
Last week, Kate and Me stumbled across this cute little cafe on Bourke street in Surry Hills. We immediately fell in love with the charming place and ended up having a coffee there. They’ve only been in the neighbourhood for about two weeks, but seems to already have regulars stopping buy for coffees and a chat in the morning. This is a cafe you would like to stay for the whole morning, reading and watching people walking by. They serve homemade bircher muesli for only $6, and sourdough toasts with apricot and rosemary jam and strawberry jam for $4.
Manly market is around again, and I will be there on Saturday with my friend Kate, from the blog “Kitchen Ink“, and my friend Ellen Marie. Come and say hi and try some of our home baked goodies, or get a bargain on some really cheap clothes! See you there! We’ll be there from 7 am and will serve freshly baked rhubarb muffins for breakfast.
Rhubarb Muffins! Come and try them when they are ready baked.
The place to find imported fabrics, wallpapers, lighting and interior furnishing, from all over the world. This iconic little shop has been around for 15 years. Sydney’s interior stylists are regulars in the shop, trying to spot the latest arrivals before anyone else.
