When I invited the Mr to accompany me on The Truffle Shuffle at the South Melbourne Market this weekend his initial reaction was “Awesome, I love The Goonies!” Well, while 80’s movie fans may be a little disappointed at the lack of pirate ships and a rocking soundtrack featuring Cyndi Lauper, they will certainly enjoy a culinary adventure collecting edible…

A delicious Malaysian style Chicken Curry that the whole family will love.

The first time I experienced the flavour explosion that is Mexican Grilled Corn, my attitude to corn on the cob was changed forever.
