Creating a Graphic Novel : Art – Food – Photography

There’s nothing quite like a hot bowl of soya bean to complete any chinese feast. This particular bowl was very smooth in texture (if it’s too thick, it’s not quite as refreshing) with ginkgo nuts adding to the taste. Mmmmm . . . .

The first question you’re thinking probably is “What is Char Kway Teow?“. It is a Malaysian dish of fried flat rice noodles. There are many variations of ingredients that can be added. However, cockles, eggs, prawns, bean sprouts, chives and chilli are usually added whilst frying. Originally a fisherman’s dish to finish any unsold cockles […]

My first attempt at making ice-cream tiramisu. One layer of sponge fingers soaked in Kahlua, marsala (italian wine) and coffee followed by a layer of high quality vanilla ice-cream with a dusting of grated chocolate. This was then repeated twice. It may not look particularly “pretty” in the photo but it was definitely delicious!

During a visit to one of my favorite sushi shops in the north shore of Sydney, I took a couple of photos to share.

I made a submission to a comic anthology called Tango 8 about two months ago. It was my first attempt at getting published and my first at creating a story in the “comic” medium. Full details of the process to create the story is here. Received this acknowledgment late last week : “I ‘m happy […]

Following on from Green Tea Latte and Green Tea Cappucino, here’s a very delicious Green Tea Ice-cream with Azuki (Red Bean) and cornflakes for the extra crunch. Mmmm . . cornflakes . . .

I was shopping recently and walked past Famous Amos (a cookie franchise). Anyway I took a double take when I realised who the staff at this particular shop had used for their mascot. Could this be the dream job for Cookie Monster? After having a quick chat with their mascot, I ordered a nice hot […]
