As of 29 May, The Silver Spoon closed for business. We had dinner with interstate visitors recently at The Silver Spoon Food & Wine in Victoria Park. Shortly after we ordered, a waiter delivered a complimentary amuse bouche: little cups of carrot and cumin soup, garnished with finely chopped fresh chives. This savoury-sweet hit of […]
As I get older I notice changes in myself. My tastes continue to evolve. For example, I used to detest avocado but I quite like it now, especially in the form of fresh guacamole. And although I know I’ll always be a savoury tooth, lately my sweet tooth has been making her mark. Launch party […]
