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!!

As a kid growing up in Malaysia, we ate all parts of the chicken, including the organs. My stepmom might remember I had a particular fondness for chicken hearts and that I used to try and score the one heart that came with whatever chicken dish that’s at the dinner table. On occasion, she would…
A couple of weeks ago, a friend from church bought some Handcrafted Dry Cooking Kits from me for the first time, then reported back that she’d burnt them in her stainless steel pan. Since she was incidentally coming over to my place for a meal the following week, I figured I’d kill two birds with…
Depending on how long you’ve been following my cooking journey, you may remember that I used to produce a range of frozen meals that I sold at various markets in Sydney and at my restaurant. This was what they looked like – These packs were popular enough that when Costco opened up in Sydney, someone…
Rediscovering my roots through Hakka Lei Cha For the longest time, I avoided Hakka Lei Cha (aka Lui Cha in Hakka) because I thought it was something you’d eat if you’d lost a bet, or if you were on a diet – it just looked too healthy and vegan to be enjoyable. So despite being…
As someone who grew up in Malaysia, I know my “kopi” with condensed milk very well but when it came to Ipoh “White” Coffee I always thought it just meant that it was served white. Well, apparently that’s not it – go figure. On our most recent trip to Malaysia for a Tourism Perak x…
