Freestyle Escape has updated its cooking class schedule for next year and it looks like a fantastic program. New additions to the schedule since my prize post include a class with Alex Herbert of Bird Cow Fish on July 7. Passports with Purpose ends this week – you need to donate by midnight Seattle time [...]
Do you remember the photo of that delectable dessert in my post about the Sunshine Coast hinterland? I bought it from the Freestyle Escape stall at the Real Food Festival in Maleny. Guess what?

Last week the menu was pork tenderloin with sage and madeira sauce, accompanied by crushed new potatoes and peas. We had [...]
