My blog Chocolatesuze is about the random foods I eat, in particular quirky stuff like the 32cm soft serve icecream or the boy’s attempt at the 2kg ramen challenge. There is the occasional recipe and sometimes a restaurant review. I don’t pretend to be a writer or a photographer I just want to share with the world my experiences and things that make me laugh. Food doesn’t have to be expensive or served in some posh restaurant for it to be delicious, some of the best meals i’ve ever eaten were at tiny hole in the wall places, food from street vendors in Malaysia and of course my mums home cooking- assam laksa, deep fried soft shell crab and chilli scampi!


I started my blog in 2001 when I was looking for a distraction from the HSC. Sadly, my posts from those early years were eaten when my server died on me. I am a firm believer in seeing where life takes you and going with the flow. I completed my degree of Bachelor of Applied Science Food and Nutrition in 2006 and while I don’t exactly eat healthily I can tell you WHY the food I’m eating is not healthy. I have a weakness for cheeseburgers, chocolate cake and macarons.


Some of my happiest memories are from the jobs I’ve had since high school- working in a popcorn store, sandwich store, cake factory, and a pancake restaurant not because i liked working but because of all the freebies i scored. Can you imagine 5kg worth of caramel popcorn? Or a 6 foot long sub? It was awesome.


In 2007 I started a biscuit company with the Mothership called The Biscuit Tree. I had wanted to call the company Son of a Biscuit but didn’t think that would go over well when I answered phone calls. I bake fulltime and on the weekends you can find me at various growers markets. Hope you enjoyed reading a little about me!
