Primal Pantry Opening Soon!

I've been watching the space a couple doors down from work for some weeks now, change from Salon Lounge to the Primal Pantry. To be honest, I am quite excited about what the space will bring.

Salon always seemed to have such dark decor but the new cafe has definitely brought light back into the place and I can't wait for the area to be buzzing with activity again. It's just a shame that we're moving out of our offices a couple doors down, just as they're opening their new business. On the plus side, we're just moving up the road but having a coffee place a couple doors down would have been bliss (provided they can make a good coffee).  

Primal Pantry is Brisbane’s first 100% Paleo Grocer and Café  and will offer 100% grass-fed, gluten-free, and organic meal options, made from scratch using only the freshest ingredients.

The new cafe opens its doors to the public on Thursday.

Testing my cooking skills

With darling husband working late nights recently, I have taken to cooking and trying different things at home to have ready on the table. Last night I cooked with Dukkah and Quinoa for the first time.

Whilst quinoa is probably an acquired taste, I did like it. I made Dukkah coated chicken with a quinoa salad.

Dukkah - I used the Pistachio one but you can get a spicier Dukkah
