A House of Stones
If my grandmother were still around, she would say it is a shame that I am not married because I would make a perfect housewife. She would not be wrong: I know how to keep a clean and welcoming house and I have a real knack for cooking. While I follow my family's recipes with reverence, abiding by the written instructions, I also add my own twists to the dishes I compose. It is what makes food interesting today, to combine tradition and modernity, while adapting to changing times, tastes, and ingredients and surprising people with unexpected combinations of flavours. I cannot believe how much ingredients have changed over the course of fifty years. With increased globalisation, I have been able to create new, powerful combinations of aromas and textures that stray well beyond my grandmother's own recipes, and she is without a doubt the most talented cook I have ever met.

Costa Rica's Answer to a Perfect Cup of Coffee!
Today’s coffee makers do much more than brew a pot of coffee. Some grind the beans, others froth the milk for fancy lattes and macchiatos and a few even brew iced coffee and add fancy flavors automatically. I even saw one the other day that was totally high-tech, with an app that controls the entire process from your smartphone! Too much technology for me to be honest with you. ALL I WANT IS A CUP OF COFFEE. .

Costa Rica Cuisine
During my trip in Costa Rica, I have been trying all sorts of different meals from traditional dinners to Starbucks. I originally live in Northern California, but I am now studying abroad for three months in beautiful Costa Rica to experience the real raw culture and traditional ways of life. Through eating from our chief at the base house who cooks traditional common meals and going to town and eating at a restaurant, I have seen a difference between the two. For instance, our chief and his wife come over and give us three meals a day. Those meals consist of hamburgers with ham in them, chicken, and fish. While going into town, you can get almost anything from ice cream to Chinese food. With this in mind, I will be talking about the differences between these two but also their uniqueness and what they add to this culture.

Essentials for Vegans in South East Queensland
Veganism has been increasingly on the rise over the last 5 years around the world with Australia ranking among the top vegan countries in the world. Watching the world change has been incredible. I went vegetarian in 2000 and by 2005 I has discovered veganism. It was a pretty lonely journey for me. I didn’t know any vegans; Facebook had only just reached Australia and I didn’t know what I was doing with it. So, I decided to put together a list of tips that may help someone out. Please note I am not affiliated with any of the mentioned companies or products. These are my personal recommendations and favourites as not everyone has the same taste. Like some people actually like coriander. The suggestions follow the vegan definition from the dictionary “a person who does not eat any food derived from animals and who typically does not use other animal products.” Let’s get into it.
