Get in my belly

I love food. Good food. Real food. Food that contains ingredients that are a single word and, generally speaking, direct from the farm gate to the kitchen.

I consider myself lucky to have had a lot of good food recently with one of my favourite people.  While I love good food at any time of the day; I can honestly say that I am in love with brunch. I can be guaranteed an onion and garlic free dish without having to embarrass the company I keep by having to ask the waitress who invariably has to ask the chef.

From the following photos it is clear that I have a penchant for smashed avo. Being my favourite fruit, avocado features heavily in my own cooking - sammiches, pasta and salad are all enhanced with the addition of avocado - and there's no meal you cannot have avo in. Breakfast, lunch or dinner there is always a place for the divine fat-filled fruit.
