WELCOME FROM THE EDITORS
VALuE
View from above: Grand Cayman, West Indies.
I’ve always been drawn to archaeology and so I was watching a television program about the Neolithic people of Britain. Between 3000 BC and 1900 BC they left an undulating landscape pockmarked with hills – a bit like a piece of verdant bubble wrap – in eastern England at the site of Grimes Graves. These Stone Age people were mining for flint. It was the modern equivalent of gold to them. The deep underground tunnels are still intact and the television host descended to see exactly how these ancient people had dug several meters using only antler implements. Beyond the technical prowess of these people and their ingenuity, the question of greatest perplexity was: why? Why had they dug so deep underground when there was ample flint above ground that was easily sourced? One theory was that it was part of a religious ritual – to dig underground until that most precious material of the time was found. To me, it seemed like the ancient counterpart to a fairy tale, but to the television host it seemed very puzzling indeed. There was absolutely no economic reason for it and so he could not rationalize their actions. To think, archaeology is one of the fields in which economic anachronism taints our interpretation of the past. By this I mean that because today our world is ordered by economic concerns we assume that the world was always thus, that economics has always been the prime if not the sole motivation for people. When we are presented
K&S MEDIA
f
with evidence to the contrary we disbelieve. Ancient people knew the true values of life so why have we forgotten? We are so used to the economic imperative and economically motivated action that it is alien to think in any other terms. We cannot imagine a world ruled by anything other than money and profit. In fact, for most of human history, the economic consequence of action was secondary to the spiritual. People’s actions and lives were not governed absolutely by money the way ours are. True, the conditions of life have changed but the essentials have not. This modern obsession with economics robs us of opportunities to see value (other than monetary value) in actions, things and people. What I mean, quite simply, is that we’re so busy thinking: can I afford to do this? will it pay me well? can I support my lifestyle by this? and any other number of questions that have to do with money that we sometimes miss the true motivation for action – love, compassion, and not working for rewards. csl — KAILASH AND SHIVANA

Rucks, District Sales Manager for David’s bridal Canada, shares her top 3 tips for How to find afitthat flatters Victoria finding a dress style for any special event this season K&S MEDIA (3); DAVIDS BRIDAL; BITE BEAUTY; EYEKO
1 Show some skin For an informal or daytime occasion, consider a dress that hits at the knee or slightly above it. Add a pair of fabulous shoes to bring attention to your legs. Otherwise, a v-neckline draws the eye upward to the neck and face. Streamlined and structured silhouettes work well on curvy figures while an empire waist elongates any figure by hitting at the smallest part of the rib cage and creating the illusion of height, even on petite frames.
THE CSL GREEN TICkER
2 Colour blocking Still a huge trend for spring when done strategically, either with contrasting colours or more subtly with shine and matte finishes. It creates shape and accentuates curves or highlights your body’s best assets while concealing figure imperfections. To draw attention away from the lower half, a skirt that starts from a natural waist and then floats gently from the body showcases a slim upper torso. If you are tall and lean, a bias-cut sheath in a soft flowing fabric can also create curves where they are needed.
Choose hemp or canvas leash instead of nylon for your dog.
3 Make a statement Whatever your body type, make a statement! This season's hottest special occasion look is an elegant dress with a beautifully embellished neckline that sparkles with no need to worry about finding a necklace. Metallic and lace details were everywhere on the red carpet during awards season and it is translating into our stores with a great selection of shine, texture and effortless style.

A Spring comes early to north Texas and the dogwood trees are already blooming, even if it's still officially winter. I love the pink blooming trees and keep a few spidery branches in a vase to remind me that spring is only a few weeks away. On neighborhood walks I love seeing the green lawns covered with robins. I like the contrast of the red breast against the grass.

>> keep climate in mind when choosing outdoor furniture. If you live in a windy area, select heavier furniture; if you experience regular rainfall, look for aluminum furniture with increased corrosion resistance. To lengthen the life of outdoor pieces, store patio furniture when the weather isn’t in your favour.

SAMSUNG GALAXY EXPEREINCE It was easy
to pack this camera on two recent trips to the Caribbean. I received many compliments about the camera (and offers to buy it) from people from all over the world. Some liked the beautiful white exterior, others were perplexed whether it was a phone or a camera (it does not make calls). A great 21x Super Long Zoom lens, wonderful picture clarity, and video allows it to take beautiful photos. With a ton of apps (like Instagram), the ability to share photos instantly and wi-fi connectivity it also acts as a powerful Android device. FAVOuRITE FEATuRE Panorama (included among several modes to enhance pictures) which usually calls for expensive software and hours to stitch together photos. This camera does it in a matter of seconds. CAVEAT I missed a few shots because of how long it takes to for the camera to start up. I expect to flick it on and begin shooting immediately. While the large screen makes it easy to review pictures, in bright daylight, the screen is hard to see. OVERALL A dynamite camera that can do just about anything an Android does.

Tried and tested on a recent trip to Hawaii, this powerful Canon Eos 70D DSLR camera was especially effective in taking photos in low light. The touch screen made it easy to navigate between settings, and we were impressed with the quality of the Dual Pixel CMOS video, which resulted in superb camcorder like quality from our helicopter flight. www.canon.ca
SIMPLE TIPS FOR PROTECTING YOUR HOME ON SOCIAL MEDIA Steve Kolobaric of Weiser gives 5 ways to stay safe
2 Be careful when using the “check-in” feature on Facebook, and be weary of apps that share your location to others. The new generation of apps broadcasts your location at all times to friends – and in many cases to people you don't even know. And unlike the previous generations of applications that required you to check in to a venue, these apps are persistent unless you pause them or turn them off. 3 Don’t write about how frustrated you are because your front door doesn’t shut properly, or about how you’re getting new windows installed over the weekend. 4 Don’t post photos of the new television in your living room or the vintage motorcycle in your garage. 5 Be careful to monitor what your children are posting. www.weiserlock.com

HOW TO COOk THE PERFECT SALMON PLuS CANADIAN CAVIAR P. 16
citystyleandliving.com | SPRING 2014 | 15
CSL_Spring2014Dec212013:PrintVersion
A Fish Tale
In a rush? Seafood is one of the quickest cooking proteins, and meals can be made in minutes. We tried Dom Organics, offering a growing variety of organically certified seafood products such as: Atlantic salmon, smoked salmon, and frozen salmon portions. The organic seafood is raised using all-natural, sustainable practices, in harmony with the environment. SMOKED SALMON FLATBREAD PIZZA Whip up this meal in minutes. Take premade pizza dough and roll flat. brush with olive oil and place in a hot oven. Remove and top with smoked salmon, fresh chives, and capers and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. We loved the taste of the, silky and mildly smoked salmon against the soft dough and sharp capers.
2.
Choose a heavy or cast iron skillet, and place on burner to heat. Add 1 teaspoon of oil and wait until oil is smoking. Add 1 teaspoon of butter.
QUINOA AND SPINACH SALAD WITH SHRIMP boil the quinoa and set aside. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and sautee in a pan. Add shrimp and quinoa to a salad of lettuce leaves, strawberry, feta, carrots and candied pecans. Serve with a tangy raspberry vinaigrette. We like the contrast of the sweet shrimp and zingy dressing.
3.
Add fillet to the pan, skin side down. Sear for 2-3 minutes. use a fish spatula, and flip the fillets. Cook for another minute. To check if your fish is done, gently prod with your finger. your salmon should feel somewhat firm, with a little give (approximately 125 F or 51 C).
ASIAN STYLE TEMPURA SHRIMP Coat the peeled and deveined shrimp in a batter of 1 cup (250 ml) flour, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cornstarch and 1 ½ cups (375 ml) soda water. Deep fry in a pan of hot oil. In another saucepan heat a premade sweet and sour sauce and place the deep fried shrimp in the sauce to coat evenly. www.dominternational.com
SCALLOP AND BUERRE BLANC
Combine 1-2 shallots chopped fine, 1 cup (250 ml) white wine, and ¼ cup (60 ml) lemon juice in a saucepan over high heat until reduced to 2 tablespoons (30 ml). Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cream bringing mixture to the boil. Reduce heat and add 12 tablespoons (180 ml) of butter in cubes one at a time whisking continuously. When reduction is emulsified season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with pan seared scallop topped with white sturgeon caviar and mashed potatoes.

SMOKED SALMON MOUSSE ON TOAST
In a blender or food processor place 1/2 pound (230 g) smoked salmon, ¼ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup sour cream, ½ cup (125 g) cream cheese, juice of a lemon, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chopped dill, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chopped chives and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste and blend to incorporate. Serve spread over buttered toast and topped with Ikura Salmon Caviar.

OYSTER WITH MIGNONETTE AND CAVIAR
Combine ¼ cup (60 ml) red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) minced shallot, and ½ teaspoon (2 ml) black pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle over oysters and top with white sturgeon caviar.

make spectacular buffalo wings? Hankering for just the right boost to a sandwich? Looking to jazz up a dip for French fries? This versatile sauce (available in medium, hot and garlic) is just the thing. The sauce, from the worldwide chain of restaurants, is made from South Africa’s famous peri peri pepper (also known as African bird’s eye chili). Give your food just the right kick. (nandos.com)
waste created by single serve coffee cups adds up. OneCoffee addresses the problem with a biodegradable mesh bag that pulls away from the plastic top. While not completely compostable (the hard plastic will biodegrade in municipal waste streams), the single origin coffee packs a flavour punch. (myworldinacup.com)

Also try the cooking bags, great for steaming veggies or fish – without using butter or oil – the parchment helps seal in moisture and nutrients. (www.paperchef.com)
Never dump cooking oil in sewers or down the drain.
PULO PHILIPPINE CUISINE The first thing that caught our eye was the beautiful packaging of these sauces and marinades inspired by the regional flavours of Filipino cuisine. Then we tasted. With a subtle tart undertone they easily tenderize meat or flavour vegetables making whipping up a meal a cinch. best of all these award winning, Canadian-made sauces (mango chili, pineapple tamarind, lemongrass Atsuete) and marinades (coconut adobo, kare kare toasted peanut) are vegan and do not contain preservatives.

Looking for a way to relax before bedtime and get a better night’s sleep? Peppermint tea may just be the answer. It helps relax muscles, and may calm an upset stomach. Drink a cup before bed to de-stress. Harney an d Sons Organic Peppermint. www.harney.com
SMART POPCORN
There’s nothing quite like popcorn to satisfy a snack craving. The non- GMO, pesticide-free, locally grown popcorn of this Cambridge Ontario based brand include flavours such as dill pickle, butter and salt, white cheddar, kettle corn, ancient grain and cocoa caramel (readymade) and microwavable corn on the cob from heritage varieties. The twist? Each bag of From Farm to Table is fortified with fish oil derived Omega-3 (think brain health). www.fromfarmtotable.ca
BEE SEASON
Did you know that pre-Egyptians used honey topically to treat wounds? And with a slightly acidic pH level, honey prevents the growth of bacteria. Plus, its antioxidant properties are useful in the balancing of free radicals. best of all, minerals found in honey include iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium so you can feel good eating it. CSL tried Madhava Sweeteners Very Raw Honey and organic honey in our tea, salad dressings and baking. These versatile organic honey tasted mildly floral and luscious. www.madhavasweeteners.com

5 GRAIN ALERT
Take green wheat, roast it, sun-dry it, and rub it. What do you get? Freekeh. Long used in Middle Eastern cuisine, it is similar in taste to bulgur with a chewy texture, and grassy, nutty flavour. Touted for its high fibre content (three times as much as brown rice), it cooks quickly as the grains have been cracked. best of all, one cup of freekeh yields three cups of the cooked grain. Translation : quick, n utritious and easy pilafs, morning granola, risotto, and salads.

SPICE THINGS UP Want to drop a few, but don’t want to skimp on flavourless meals? Try spicing things up- literally. Not only have studies shown that capsaicin found in pepper rev up metabolism, but adding spices to your meals instead of additional fat and salt is an easy way to increase flavour, without increasing your waistline. We tried Simply Organic range of spices including oregano in our pasta sauce- adding a punchy herbaciousness while the crushed pepper flakes made a nice addition to our everyday vinaigrette. The fragrant cinnamon really came alive in baking, especially in a punchy Mexican chocolate cake. www.simplyorganic.com

The Nugan Estate Wine Dinner at Q Haute Cuisine
WINE GATHERING
Matthew Nugan of Nugan Estate in Australia, visits Calgary for an evening of beautiful bites and sensational wine Located in Australia’s McLaren Vale region, the family owned Nugan Estate, began as a fruit and vegetable business by Nugan’s Spanish grandfather before producing fruit juices and eventually wine. The 590 hectares of estate grown grapes in Australia’s finest wine growing regions have made the label one of Australia’s Top 20 Wine Exporters. CSL sat down for dinner at q Haute Cuisine in Calgary showcasing Nugan Estate’s finest selections (including the 2007 kln vineyard botrytis semillon). The showstopper of the evening was the Nugan Estate Matriarch McLaren Val e Shiraz 2006, a truly elegant silky smooth wine. A ruby garnet colour in the glass gives way to rich dark cherry fruit, chocolate overtones with soft hints of oak. www.nuganestate.com.au DINING DELIGHTS Clockwise from top left: Chef Michele Aurigemma and Matthew Nugan chat; lamb top sirloin with sweet potato and madeira; bottles of Kln vineyard semillon; blueberry and pine dessert; a bottle of Martiarch; variations of carrot starter.
“Matriarch is named after my mother who is an incredible woman. She took over the business when Dad died. My sister designed the label so Matriarch is a labour of love.” -

WHY IT’S SPECIAL Blended from a variety of casks by Gordon Motion, the Speyside single malt scotch, delivers a lighter style with a honey finish. WHY YOU NEED IT NOW The golden hued whisky is immediately fragrant, with caramel, sweet earthy malt and dried fruit with warm undertones of vanilla and spice. On the tongue, this single malt is decidedly light, lending a touch of honey and soft fruit, finishing in a little oak. www.theglenrothes.com

HELPER
WHICH TYPE OF OATS SHOULD I CHOOSE?
keep in mind that after oats are harvested, they are separated from their hulls and stalks. The resulting grain kernel is called an oat groat. Choosing the right kind of oat for you depends on flavour, cooking time and availability. We’ve highlighted the three most widely available types.
Steel cut oats/Irish Oats are made from sliced oat groats. They have a chewy texture and cook in 20-40 minutes. Great for a hearty breakfast, risotto or stew.
For the Oatmeal crumble Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, coconut, and brown sugar. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the agave and oil stirring, until hot. Pour the mixture over the oat mixture and stir to coat evenly. Spread the mixture on the prepared sheet. bake, stirring occasionally, until the granola is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Assemble Place ¼ cup (60ml) yogurt in the bottom of each glass. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the berry compote over the yogurt and then repeat with another layer of yogurt, about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sprinkle with granola crumble to taste. Garnish with berries and serve.
Rolled/old fashioned Oats are made from steamed, flattened and dried oats groats. They cook in 10-15 minutes and have a nutty flavor. Great in baking.
quick Oats are made similar to rolled oats but the flakes are thinner and they are steamed longer. They cook in about 5 minutes and have less texture. Great for a quick breakfast.

Get your kids involved in this step as it is easy and mess free.
A useful way to form the dough into a log is to first place it on a sheet of waxed paper. Use the wax paper to secure the dough, then roll it back and forth to form a log.
Use a sharp knife to cut the cheese coins. For extra flourish use a serrated knife that will give the coins a scalloped edge.
Grate 4 cups (1000 ml) grated cheddar cheese or any hard, sharp flavoured cheese. Add 4 tablespoons (60 ml) butter, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) mustard. Mash until smooth paste forms. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) thyme (or other herbs to your taste), 1 teaspoon (5 ml) smoked paprika, 2 cloves garlic grated, working ingredients into mixture. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) hot sauce (or your choice of chili paste). Gradually add 1 cup (250 ml) flour a spoonful at a time and blend in after each addition.
Work mixture into a dough and then form a log. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. (The dough can be kept in the freezer for one month and taken out just before use. Store a batch in the freezer by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap or wax paper and then in a resealable plastic bag. Make sure that all the air is removed from the bag. When ready to use thaw the dough in the refrigerator.)

“ We still have the well-worn handwritten recipe from when I was about seven years old. Flour was spelled “flower” and the handwriting is cursive and slopes.

TRAVEL MAKEUP WITH Penny Sadler
INSTANT
WOW
HELEN OF TROY
Shave, splash and spray with these products. It’s a daily routine to keep your man looking and smelling great.
the make-up artist and blogger with a love for Italy explains the right look for flying I always think it's a good idea to wear minimal makeup on the airplane then touch up when you land. a good tinted moisturizer to provide a bit of color to the skin and even out the tone while combating the dry cabin air is always a good idea. and of course, mascara!
Must Haves
Do it yourself
My top 3 travel essential makeup products are a concealer to cover the tired red eyes and any blemishes or uneven skin color, Burt's Bees tinted lip balm in hibiscus and, black/brown mascara works well for everyone.
I think Italian women love makeup, just as most women do no matter what their cultural background. one of the main differences I've noticed is that Italian women focus mainly on their eyes and wear a lot of eyeliner and often, nothing more. So I see a lot of bare faces with eye makeup and maybe lipstick.
1. SkIn apply moisturizer or tinted moisturizer and use a minimal amount of a translucent powder to set it. 2. lIPS apply lip gloss for a bit of color and again to combat the ultra dry air inside the plane. 3. eYeS apply mascara to quickly and effortlessly define the eyes.
SchaF 02 hydrate a non-greasy toxinfree, scent-free formula that works. Simple as that! $35; www.schaf.ca

ROAD TRIP
THE NEW MINI COOPER S IN PUERTO RICO

The Ritz Carlton Dorado Vega Baja

Morovis
CSL takes this cool little beauty out on the windy roads of Northern Puerto Rico for an unforgettable road trip THE CAR The German engineered new Mini Cooper S has gotten a makeover and I couldn’t be happier. The first thing that strikes me about the new Mini is the sporty look - hexagonal radiator grill, LED headlamps, rear light clusters with wide chrome surround, and the eye catching paint finish (available in five finishes). Although the car is perceived as small, there is a tremendous amount of leg room, it feels roomier with a with an extra 1.1 inches added to the wheelbase, plus 4.5 inches and 1.7 inches in overall length and width (great for the over six foot tall crowd). Though it took a while to get used to, the futuristic key insertion is located in the middle of the centre console and activated by a toggle start/stop button. This lifestyle vehicle would be spacious and comfortable enough for a road trip with two passengers, even allowing for space for small luggage in the back. THE ROAD I took the Mini Cooper S through the windy and pothole ridden mountainous roads of Puerto Rico’s North Coast from Dorado to Gasolina Beach (hey, why not test the car’s mettle in rugged terrain?). With oncoming vehicles rushing at me, I was relieved by the superb handling of the Mini Cooper S care of the revised suspension technology. This also came in handy when trying to avoid the numerous stray dogs roaming the streets. The struts on the Mini Cooper S have been altered too, for less impact on the body – small pebbles hitting the sides of the car – and outside noise was kept to a minimum. Though the highways in Puerto Rico weren’t particularly busy, the 6-speed automatic transmission allowed for seamless acceleration after passing numerous school zones. The MINI Cooper S’ four-cylinder TwinPower turbo technology is enhanced by three distinct driving modes – mid, sport and green – allow-
ing drivers to alter their driving style according to preference. Case in point? Green mode allows for improved driving performance and reduced fuel consumption. WOW FACTOR Sometimes it’s the small things that really make an impact. I loved the jukebox like 4-line TFT screen (8.8 inches) for navigation, entertainment, telephone and vehicle functions and the large MINI controller in the centre console was fun to toy with. Some of the highend options are a must for cold climes (heated windscreen, seat heating, anyone?). There are also some cool functions including: emergency call and MINI teleservices with use of a SIM card; MINI connected XL journey mate with real time traffic information, and social networking; parking assistant, rear-view camera and road sign detection. BOTTOM LINE Overall, I was thoroughly impressed by the premium small car’s agility driving the roads of Puerto Rico, a testament to the ‘go-kart’ feeling the company proudly touts. It seemed like I had driven the car all my life because it was extremely comfortable, had intuitive handling, and innovative tweaks to the interior and exterior of the vehicle and clever engineering made it a pleasure to drive. www.miniusa.com; www.mini.ca

PASSPORT | TOUR GUIDE
Her Favourite Hotels
The model-actress chats with CSL about her new AbC show killer Women, her charitable side and her global travel faves WHAT DREW YOU TO KILLER WOMEN? I
loved the character right away. She was multilayered - strong, smart, quirky and vulnerable. I thought she'd be a lot of fun to play. I was also intrigued by the female killer angle on what is essentially a cop procedural. I thought it would be interesting to get a look into the differences of why women kill. Statistically there are way fewer female killers than male killers, so I was interested in exploring that smaller percentage.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARITABLE ENDEAVORS AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO GIVE BACK? My charitable endeavors come
from two different areas. Personally, I donate to animal charities via my website. I also try and help out with PSA's and events to raise awareness of animal causes. Together with my friend and former costar, katee Sackhoff, we founded Acting Outlaws– a company that we started that mixes our passion for motorbike riding and giving back. We filmed a documentary about the continued clean up of the bP oil spill, put out calendars, and do rides, with proceeds going to charities (AmFAR, Gulf Restoration Project, Red Cross and Humane Society). We are planning a few rides this year and are looking at donating to the Wounded Warriors and for a clothing drive. I think it's important to give back. We are all one big community. Sometimes it's you doing the helping out and other times it's you that is getting the help.

WHAT THREE ITEMS ARE ALWAYS IN YOUR LUGGAGE? (11) running shoes/workout clothes

luggage forever. basic black, not flashy, but well made.
FAVOURITE HOTEL IN THE WORLD? There are some amazing places out there. I went for a French magazine job to Indonesia and stayed a week at the Amandari and a week at the Amankilo. both were phenomenal. One place I love to go to in Canada is the Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino on Vancouver Island. It's a pretty special place.

MOST MEMORABLE TRAVEL MOMENT?
When I was seven and visiting the Grand Canyon with my family. At one lookout spot over the Colorado River where it was essentially massively tall, straight down embankment walls to the raging river. We pulled in and I went running down to the fence. I slipped and fell down, sliding through a hole under the fence and caught myself with my arms on the fence as my feet were nearing the edge of the cliff. I remember that travel moment quite well.
WHEN I AM NOT WORKING I AM…. At home
trying to catch up on everything that I've let slide while I was on set and all my time was consumed.
BEST ADVICE YOU HAVE RECEIVED? you gotta keep your head on your shoulders and pay attention because no one will look out for you as carefully as you will look out for yourself. I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT... Having animals in my life.

5 OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS TO DO K R IS T Y S AY E R MET WHEN BORN AND RAISED SYDNEYSIDERK HER SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN HUSBAND AND BROUGHT HIM TO AUSTRALIA, SHE DISCOVERED HER CITY ALL OVER AGAIN THIS TIME FROM AN OUTSIDER'S PERSPECTIVE. HERE ARE HER TOP PICKS The Park Hyatt Sydney.
Competitors in the Swim Series on Sydney Harbour.
(1) SOAK UP SYDNEY HARBOUR Sydney is a beautiful city with so much to do both day and night. Don't just stay in one spot, go out and explore all that the city has to offer. I highly recommend going on a harbour cruise to learn about Sydney and also to see the city from a different perspective. Captain Cook Cruises (www.captaincook.com.au) offers some incredible Sydney Harbour sightseeing cruises and hop on hop off passes. If you want to explore by yourself you can check out Sydney Ferries (www.transport.nsw.gov.au/content/sydney-ferries ). 54 | SPRING 2014 | citystyleandliving.com
PARK HYATT SYDNEY This hotel exemplifies location – situated between the iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. With 155 guestrooms and suites, an art gallery, and 24-hour butler service it’s luxury at its best. THE LANGHAM, SYDNEY Expect old school elegance (including antiques) at this 96 room hotel which also boasts high tea. SHANGRI-LA HOTEL, SYDNEY Located in the Rocks district all 563 guestrooms and suites have views of the harbour. –K.M.

(2) EXPLORE SOME OF SYDNEY'S MARKETS If you fancy yourself a bit of a foodie, be sure to check out some of Sydney's weekly markets. There's a huge variety of markets so you'll find everything from handmade jewelry and unique souvenirs to fresh from the farm produce and gourmet delights. My favourites are The Rock's Markets (held in The Rocks every Saturday and Sunday from 10am-5pm), The EQ Village Markets (held on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park - be sure to also stop and check out Centennial Park which is right across the road) and The Eveleigh Farmer's Market (held every Saturday from 8am at Wilson Street, Eveleigh).
(5) LEAVE THE CITY BEHIND AND SEE THE STUNNING BLUE MOUNTAINS
(3) CAUTION WILDLIFE AHEAD
Animal lover? Definitely check out Sydney's Taronga Zoo, which you can catch a ferry to. Also look out for Sea Life Sydney Aquarium if you're a wildlife fan.
BLUE MOUNTAINS One of my favourite places to explore and just 90 minutes from the heart of the city, The Blue Mountains is a magical place with stunning scenery. Aerial view near Newnes, Blue Mountains.
The Royal Botanic Gardens are a natural oasis in the heart of Sydney and the perfect place to relax and unwind. Here you'll find a variety of different plants and wildlife, showcasing Sydney's diversity, including a Rainforest Walk, Native Rockery, Traditional Rose Garden and even a Succulent Garden. Be sure to check the web to see if there are any special events or tours on when you're visiting (as there is always plenty of free entertainment).

SCENIC WORLD BLUE MOUNTAINS See the Mountains from a variety of different angles – by Cable Way, Railway ( it's the world's steepest railway!) and Skyway (where you view the forest floor from 270 metres above with panoramic views).
THE CANDY STORE A must stop in Leura for anyone with a sweet tooth! (www.candystore.c om.au)
