Victor Churchill: Sydney’s boutique butcher
Victor Churchill is not a newcomer on the Sydney raw meat food scene. Not even close; in fact, it’s a legend. Originally opened in 1876, this renowned butcher is a must-visit spot for Sydneysiders and visitors alike. Situated discreetly on a plush tree-lined street, this old-school butcher is living it up in a new space, where it rocks a haute-couture boutique feel.
From the illuminated window dressings to the multi-layered, intricate butcher blocks, to its floor-to-ceiling Himalayan rock salt brick wall, this is definitely a contender for the world’s coolest butcher. And if that weren’t enough, their supreme quality meats fill the kitchen of the best restaurants in Australia and abroad, daily. Between it solid produce and supreme design, it’s real easy to see how Victor Churchill has been named the Prada of meats.

I heard Amy Sol speak a while back in Sydney and our walls have been filling up with her gorgeous limited edition prints from that time on. Sol paints subtle and beautiful moments. Moments of care and love. Moments of surreal beauty and moments of longing. Her technique brings out the natural wood grain surface she paints on, allowing it to peer through the painterly world she works so hard to create.
Illustrated Kids Go Travel Guides
I really like the illustrator Tania Willis’ work and now she’s teamed up with Mio Debnam to produce these kid’s guide books. Avoiding the trap of thinking parents know best, they’ve asked kids in the various locations what their favourite days out, experiences, food, and so on are. So far they’ve covered Bali, Sydney, Hong Kong, Phuket, London and New York. My lad gives it 5 stars after a recent trip to Bali. Read more

Instead of demolishing the old Paddington Reservoir, architects TZG have incorporated into the design a new outdoor public garden in Paddington, Sydney. The results are stunning, with the nineteenth century structures providing an amazing starting point. Looking less like a garden and more like an overgrown ancient city, with the remnants of historic walls and vaults, this new public space is well worth frequent visits.
