The Gastronomer's Bookshelf is giving away a copy of Momofuku (which looks like a swear word but is in fact a popular New York restaurant).

My internet security is pretty good, both technical and in my cautious behaviour, but I almost got phished today, so I'm warning readers what to look out for.

I've had to make some technical changes to the site because my bandwidth quota is being consumed too quickly. If you notice any images that aren't loading, please drop me a line or leave a message here. (But I hope everything is going smoothly.)

Woolworths clearly weren't satisfied with selling imported "artisan" bread all the way from the other side of the Pacific, but also have a diverse range of pastries from Europe. They've been selling them for at least a few months, but I've been slow to write about it.

Two months of book reviews on The Gastronomer's Bookshelf you might like, including The Clatter of Forks and Spoons, Anjum's New Indian, Indulge: 100 Perfect Desserts, and The Complete Robuchon!

I'm sitting in the Qantas Business Lounge at Melbourne Airport. The food is designed to prepare you for the inflight experience. Actually, I think the food on my flight might end up being better.

For the bakers among you, I have news of fresh yeast. Coles supermarkets are stocking fresh yeast again after a hiatus of three or four years.

The latest reviews on The Gastronomer's Bookshelf include Mark Robinson's Izakaya, Michael Ruhlman's Ratio, Pierre Hermé's Macaron, and more.

Olive lovers might be interested in the olive masterclass being run by The Princess and the Providore on March 26th in Melbourne (you need to book).

I have no pretty photos of the very successful foodblogger get-together. A few others have documented the event and expressed gratitude to our hosts.
