Well I’m so glad I’d managed to once again coerce my good friend Cyn (http://thefoodpornographer.com) to do the judging for this competition. There were so many stunning entries it would have been near impossible for me to pick one.
First up, the winner of the Yoga 2 Pro laptop from Lenovo Australia and New Zealand in answer to the question – What Does Summer Mean To You? – comes from Kirsty Gilford –
“Summer means to me lazy days spent at the beach and beautiful views of the clear blue ocean, a refreshing gelato to cool off on a hot summer’s day, fresh prawns with my homemade seafood sauce and iced coffee from my local cafe to start off the day.” – Kirsty Gilford
Congratulations Kirsty on a very well-deserved win!
Here are the honorable mentions as selected by our judge Cyn –
“Summer means visiting friends and having fun in the sun.” – Ness @nessisms“Summer means picnics at the park.” – Ness @nessisms“Summer is growing your own strawberry for the first time, and being overwhelmed with joy on the glimpse of first strawberries in your kitchen garden.” – Prandazzle“Summer means forcing Claudio up coconut trees because there aint nothing better than fresh coco water to hydrate you. Hehehehe.” – Olivasaurus“Summer is like a dessert, you wait for it for a long time but it always bring you happiness!” – Yves Scherrer
And here are some more great entries –
“Summer for the family means an awesome range of berries and grapes.” – Ling Pang“Summer is all about spending time with friends near the water and having a bucketload of fun!!

My second Twitch.tv livestream covered one of the more popular menu items from my Orange Grove Market days – wonton (aka sui gow) noodles with chicken char siew – I’m still tweaking my broadcasts, so I appreciate your patience re: screen layouts, audio, etc. etc. You’ll notice in this second livestream that I’ve tried to…
Cereal prawns is one of those dishes that emerged on the Malaysian food scene AFTER I moved to Australia back in 1984, so I never got to try it growing up. That didn’t stop me putting it on my Concord restaurant menu back in the day, however, so I set off to learn the recipe…
