On July 14th France celebrate the storm of the Bastille in 1789. We celebrate this very important national holiday in the Cafe & Grocer every year with a special menu. This year we went one step further and hosted a dinner. Guests enjoyed a fabulous menu of classic French dishes such as Cassolette d’Escargot and Sole Meuniere all while being entertained by a accordionist and served by beret-clad waiters.

David recently had the pleasure of meeting Miss Universe Australia, Rachael Finch as she was looking to expand her culinary knowledge. With her sister in tow, the girls enjoyed private classes with David. He demonstrated such skills as how the cook the perfect steak, a simple pasta dish and a basic risotto. This was followed by a visit the next morning to our local Eveleigh Markets where David helped her buy beautiful produce for a lunch she was cooking for her family that day.

David’s chilly visit to New Zealand in mid June was a great success. With an itinerary put together by our distributors – The Herb & Spice Mill, he conducted cooking demonstrations around Auckland and Wellington. He can be seen here at the beautiful Farro Fresh store in Mount Wellington cooking with his range of products.

A recent health ’hiccup’ has made me reflect on the importance of balance when it comes to three of life’s essential ingredients – lifestyle, family and indulgence.
My lifestyle has recently been monitored by a beautiful woman called Anthea Koullouros. Working from her OVViO Organic Lifestyle Store in Paddington, Anthia is an inspiration with her unique philosophies on health and her core theory that we should eat what the human body is designed to eat, rather than what is marketed to us. I have found her advice invaluable as have many close friends and colleagues to whom I have recommended her. She is also incredibly personable and draws you in through her passion and no nonsense approach to helping you achieve health and happiness.
