Although Trotski & Ash sounds like some Russian revolution novel, it’s not. It’s actually a new blog from passionate cooks Sarah Trotter and Romy Ash (who has penned her lovely thoughts for frankie before). Their delightful selection of recipes so far includes a yummy cauliflower soup, apricot jam, honey joys and grandmother's famous fish pie. A delicious start to the day.

The Artisan Guild & Curiosity Shop opens at 263 Oxford Street, Darlinghurst (directly next door to the Beachamp Hotel) TONIGHT. The shop will be open for two months and shoppers will be able to select from new and vintage curiosities, objects, accessories, jewellery and shoes from labels including Beat Poet, Saint Augustine Academy, Elke Kramer, Matt Weston, Toby Jones, Izrock (Joe Allen), Phil Young (with curious clocks that go backwards!) and Isson and Fiction Eyewear (with a range of limited edition customised retro glasses for the Marsu Homme store). Have a looksee and see if anything tickles your fancy.
