Chocolate, Cheese and the Kirribilli Markets

Hello there! As I've mentioned on my previous post (here) I would like to show you some of the best chocolates you can find in Sydney to make the perfect chocolate dessert.

First stop was Simon Johnson, the purveyor of quality foods with stores at Woollahra, Pyrmont, Alexandria and Castlecrag now there really is no excuse to not pay this shop a visit. I was like a kid in a candy store looking for that perfect bar of chocolate...

So I got a little sidetracked...

I was in cheese lovers heaven...there were sooo many types of cheeses.

 

 Lucky enough, we had complimentary cheese tasting.

 

 

My weakness...soft and creamy cheeses.

 

Some beautiful French chocolates from Mazet.

 

We've bagged ourselves a selection of Valrhona chocolates and a lil bag of salt.

 

Limited edition Valrhona Chocolate according to Frenchie.

I fell in love with this copper cookware - they provide the best thermal conductivity for even heating.

My little adventure continues, next stop Kirribilli...

It was a pleasant and fun ride crossing the Harbour Bridge.

The view was absolutely breathtaking.

Luna Park just below us.

Kirribilli Markets on a beautiful Sunday morning.

These all natural handmade soaps look and smell amazing.

My fav. was this custom made lamp. The seashells were collected from the south coast beaches.

These handmade chocolates inspired by Brazilian desserts were phenomenal! Love the leopard prints.

 

To Die For. Enough said!

Freshly baked goods. Pretty sure the almond tart was screaming out to us "EAT ME!!!"

Organic strawberries in little blue pots.

Barbecue beef on the grill with a generous serve of mashed potatoes. A must try!!!

My first Quesadilla (Mexican-style stuffed pancake) but certainly not my last!

Our last stop was at Coco Chocolate

Shop 12, 3a-9b Broughton St (Cnr with Bligh St), Kirribilli, 2061

This quaint lil shop is worth a visit, it's packed with chocolate goodness!

 

And lil gifts too..they are so cute!

We settled for organic salted caramel w pine nuts. So naughty...so worth it! ;D

  

Unsure how to spend the rest of your weekend?

You can always go to your local market...it's always a fun place to poke your head around ;)
