Simply Coastal

I love winter comfort food and cosy fires but now that Spring has arrived I am in the mood for lighter, healthier meals. I am looking forward to lots of tasty salads, summer fruits and seafood dishes. I have just bought the latest Donna Hay cook book titled 'Fast, Fresh, Simple'. That sums me up to a tee - I love cooking but I don't have heaps of spare time to spend in the kitchen. Also living down the coast calls for a simpler style of eating and entertaining - we save the gourmet meals for dining out at restaurants on our trips to Melbourne. However, like Donna, we do love great quality food, super fresh, organic ingredients and stylish presentation - she has always been a great inspiration for me!

A Weekend At The Hamptons

I could see myself being one of those Manhattan girls escaping New York for a weekend in the Hamptons. I would be very home in my Ralph Lauren and Gant weekend casuals watching a game of Polo or having a hit of tennis. I'd also be very happy just lazing by the pool sipping cocktails all afternoon! I'd love to check out the local antique shops and the quaint little restaurants but for the time being watching movies like 'Something Borrowed' and 'Something's Gotta Give' will be as close as I get to the Hamptons! But I always say no harm in dreaming!
