SOUP GLORIOUS SOUP

There is nothing better when the weather starts to cool that we get out a big stock pot and start brewing up some heart warming soup

WHAT MAKES A GREAT DINING EXPERIENCE.....

A dining experience is never about one element. Memorable dining experiences can mean sitting on milk crates in a back alley in Kuta Beach eating the best Nasi Goreng and Gago Gado you have ever had! Or sitting in a restaurant where the mains at $45 but there is no one to fill up your water glass. A great dining experience involves three elements - food, service and atmosphere. Sounds lke a no brainer???!!! Well you would think so but so many food outlets just don't get it!!!
We found all three elements at Whitewater this weekend. A great location on the "strip" at South Steyne Manly, this place offers it all. The best place to people watch, a waitress who was unbelievably professional but still adding the personal touch, and food with ingredients that do not make you scratch your head in disbelief. Give it a try - and the beetroot rissotto!!!!

FOOD SAFETY


In both the COMMERCIAL and DOMESTIC kitchen, the need for food handling safety is paramount. Cooking and storing food at the correct temperature is vital to the safety of all types of food. Did you know that rice can be a very common source of food poisoning due to a number of factors including it's very large surface area!!

DON'T JUICE FOR THE SAKE OF IT.......

We have all read endless claim about how good juice is, how bad juice is with all the  ADDED SUGAR and all the other opinions in between. "Juice" seems to be a name we apply to any liquid that contains a trace of fruit or vegetables. We have done our research, and we have found that the health benefits of juice some from the enzymes found in the coloured part of the fruit or vegetable. These enzymes are at a premium when extracted under low heat and chewed not whipped. Therefore the Champion is the juicer that does the trick. The juice extracted is very dark and the pulp very dry. Check them out on our website.
