GETTING BEACH READY

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

20th October 2010

Most people have stored away their summer beach towels, umbrellas and chairs waiting for the sun to shine again!

Well here it is!

I just wanted to tell you guys a little about the new SunnyLIFE summer range. Not only are we looking after all your beach and outdoor needs, we are now offering some great indoor products.

Porcelain Votives, Bamboo fruit or salad bowls and beautiful mesh decor that would suit any modern home.

Also with SunnyLIFE you can shop online, which saves you having to go out and grab the products yourself.

We can send them right to your home or office.

Just another way we make summer easy for you.

THE PERFECT PAVLOVA

Friday, October 8th, 2010

15th October 2010

The thought behind the new design for our SunnyLIFE Melamine cake server really came about with the idea of melt in your mouth Pavlova with its soft, marsh-mellow like centre, thin, crisp shell and covered in whipped cream and fresh summer fruits such as Kiwi, Mango and Passion fruit.

So I decided to try one out for myself and thought I’d share it with you.  This recipe seems to take about 3 1/2 hours, so make sure you have the afternoon spare or prepare the day before. Personally I like them on the day they are cooked- its a summer tradition! Find the recipe here at exclusively food, Pavlova recipe.

It’s really easy to follow and taste amazing. I’d love to hear your thoughts? Or has anyone found a better recipe?

EASY SUMMER COCKTAILS

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

October 8th 2010

It’s getting warmer, the days are getting longer and Friday night drinks with friends can be spent in courtyards around the city testing some of these fantastic summer cocktail recipes.

Together with the Gourmet Traveler I have sourced some delicious cocktails that will impress your guests next time you get together.

Try this one:

Andrew McDowell from Crown and Sceptre in Adelaide came up with the Carpe Diem which is perfect for an afternoon of fun with friends and family.

Or try the White Peach Bellini which Marcus Wards of Boisto’s Liquor Bar in Melbourne likes to drink as it reminds him of his time at the Hotel Caruso in Italy.

And last but not least to try is the Barbados Punch, Alex Swainstons ‘advocate of the sublime’ made her name with this cocktail at Sydney’s Lotus. With the soft tastes of rum, lime and apple it’s the perfect Sunday afternoon delight.

Now I need to decide which one I’ll try first and which of our SunnyLIFE glassware best suits each drink?

Hope everyone enjoys these as much as I did.

IN FOCUS… MELAMINE

Friday, July 30th, 2010

This season at SunnyLIFE sees us vastly expanding our outdoor dining and entertaining focus with our Melamine and Acrylic ranges. When creating this collection we were focused on function and purpose – everything has to enhance the way our customers live and entertain. Obviously – how it looks is an element of that “enhancement” and from my point of view, it looks brilliant! It just keeps getting better - given the fact it’s also dishwasher safe.
