With today as our last official day of ‘Brick+Mortar’, we’re now signing out for good. 👋 ❤️ If you’re just catching up with this news now, our farewell story is written here over the last few months of posts. ✏️ In a final little moment of nostalgia I just scrolled waaaaay back through our Instagram and Facebook and felt ever so proud of what we did over the last 5 years. ☺️ The incredible artists and makers we had the honour to represent, the workshops and events, the awesome coffee and eats, the free coworking, and all the good things that were shared, with you. 🙌 All captured here in just over 3,000 posts, which I have to say I just loved doing. 📸 Here’s 60 seconds of the most recent ‘happenings’ captured on insta over the last months which have been, well eventful, to say the least. ☝️ After today our account and our website will stay up, so you can still support our makers by shopping directly with them via our ‘makers directory’ there 🧑‍🎨, and access our recipe shares etc 🧑‍🍳, but we’ll be signing out for good. I don’t think there are the words to express it all, so ‘thankyou’ will have to do. 🙏 Thanks guys, from the bottom of my heart. Big love, as always, Elizabeth ❤️

GUYS!! ... of COURSE we wouldn’t say goodbye without sharing our all time most popular recipe with you, our vegan chocolate banana bread. 🎉 We made so many loaves of this daily but somehow we could never quite keep up with you. So here’s a recipe that makes two loaves, because let’s be honest, one is never enough (and if you need to you can freeze the second loaf like we all did in ISO, just slice it first).
🍌10 ripe bananas (Foodland often has a ‘ripe banana’ selection, cheaper and conveniently pre-ripened)
🥥2/3 cup melted coconut oil
🍯2/3 cup rice malt syrup
🥄2/3 cup raw sugar
🧂1tsp salt
🍫2 cups/180g block vegan chocolate (we loved Monardo dark cooking chocolate from Foodland)
🥥1/2 cup coconut milk
👩‍🍳4 cups self raising flour
🥥Shredded coconut to top loaves
🍌Mash the bananas by hand (a potato masher is perfect for this quantity)
🥛 Mix all wet ingredients together
🍫Add roughly chopped vegan chocolate
🥄Sift the flour and mix through
👩‍🍳Divide between two loaf pans (ours were 14cmWx24cmLx8cmH)
🥥 Top with shredded coconut.
👩‍🍳Bake for about 45mins-1 hour at 170 degrees. Eat fresh and warm from the oven, or toast it in a sandwich press later, buttered on both sides 🤤. Try not to eat it all at once. 😏

So, we thought on our last day it’s time for a ‘reverse reveal’ ... 🙈🙊. We had our end of lease inspection today with our super lovely landlord City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters and thought we’d show you what the space looks like now it’s EMPTY vs how you remember it as B+M. So swipe across to see, and lets just say even empty now (photos 7+8) it still looks a LOT better than when we first started stripping back what had previously been the senior citizens centre (photos 9+10!). And a huge shout out to Council for taking a risk with us way back in 2014 when it was all just an idea, for their generosity in providing us with the space at minimal rent for the first couple of years while we got started, for always looking for ways to engage local small businesses and creatives in the area, and generally being friendly, approachable and enthusiastic. Best experience as a first time small business owner, thankyou! 🌟 It’s so strange looking back at those earliest photos - that royal blue carpet went all the way up the stairs and had old horsehairy underlay full of so much dust that when we pulled it up we couldn’t see each other at opposite ends of the building!

Because you asked so nicely, here’s the recipe for our super wholesome Brick+Mortar Breakfast Bowl (actually it’s great at any time of day)👩‍🍳 Have fun with it!
For the base, lightly toss an even 50/50 mix of cooked bulgur and puy lentils, with a just dash of homemade French vinaigrette (olive oil, lemon, dijon mustard, salt & pepper) for flavour
For the topping, follow the photo as a guide for presentation and quantity, but basically load it up with your favourites from the below:
🥚 a poached egg (always add a teaspoon of white vinegar to the water)
🥄 a sprinkle of smokey paprika over the egg
🔪 thinly sliced Tuscan kale massaged with olive oil and chilli flakes
🧀 a couple of slices of fried haloumi
🎃 pumpkin (or sweet potato) slices slow roasted with dukkah
🥦 broccolini gently tossed in a pan with a little olive oil
🔪 Tumeric sauerkraut (a good quality store bought one is easiest)
🥄 a generous dollop of beetroot hummus (recipe below)
🐿 a sprinkle of toasted sunflower seeds and slivered almonds

🥄 Beetroot hummus
2 cans chickpeas, drained
1/4 beetroot, juiced
1/4 tsp minced garlic
1/4 lemon, juiced
1/2 tbs tahini
25ml olive oil
Blitz all ingredients in food processor until smooth. Add extra lemon and salt & pepper to taste 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 Photo by

With tomorrow as our last day of ‘B+M’ before officially signing out on 30 June, we wanted to make sure you knew how to keep supporting our artists and makers, even (actually especially) after we’re gone. 🙏 Our Instagram and Facebook accounts will stay up as a resource for you to browse products, access recipe shares, indulge in a little nostalgia 😉, and most importantly - click through on the link in our insta bio to take you to our website ‘makers directory’ which we’ve set up so you can now shop directly with all our makers through their own websites, Instagram etc. Here’s a snippet of what that directory looks like, we’d love for you to keep it handy when you’re next looking for something special and locally made. 💛

🥪For everyone who’s missing our famous toasties, we’re sharing the recipes here 🎉. All adapted to make it easier to prepare at home in (much) smaller quantities than we did - so figure what quantities will suit how many you’re preparing, or make extra and stash in the fridge for a snack later! Oh, and the golden rule for all toasties is of course liberally butter the outside of the bread slices before putting them into a sandwich press and leave to cook until well browned and cheese is well melted, it makes all the difference!
CHICKEN & PROVOLONE
Using (find them on insta) multigrain, prepare the following, fill generously and toast!
🌱generous amount of herb aioli (mix Thomy mayonnaise with equal amounts of finely chopped parsley, dill & chives, a little crushed garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste)
🐓 pulled chicken (in a large pot fry off half an onion, 1 stick celery, 1 carrot in a little olive oil until soft, then add water, half a lemon and bring to the boil, then gently poach free range chicken breasts for approx 40 mins, pull apart into shredded pieces when cooked).
🌶 thinly sliced pickled green chillies (homemade are best and super easy)
🔪 finely diced red onion
🧀 provolone cheese slices
ROAST PUMPKIN AND GREENS
Using rosemary & potato, prepare the following, fill generously and toast!
+ slices of slow roasted pumpkin (toss with oil and sprinkle with dukkah to roast)
🌱pesto (homemade is best and easy)
🔪 finely sliced red onion
🥑 sliced avocado ✋dukkah (a light sprinkle, we used ) and pepitas
🌱 Baby spinach
🍅 Semi-dried tomatoes
CLASSIC RUEBEN
Using multigrain, prepare the following, fill generously and toast!
🇷🇺 Generous amount of Russian dressing (we made our own, a mixture of sour cream, double that in mayonnaise, add in very finely diced gherkins and red onion, then sprinkle in some paprika, chilli powder, a little splash of Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice, a pinch of horseradish and that’s it!)
🥓 Pastrami (lets just say lots, it’s a Rueben)
🌱 Sauerkraut (lots, for crunch, buy good quality, it’s worth it!)
🧀 Jarlsberg cheese
🥒 sliced dill pickle

There are lots of reasons we loved being a physical shopfront, and one of them was because you can TOUCH all the lovely things. 🖐 🤚Like the beautiful porcelain pieces by Christy of , so incredibly smooth on the outside through her expert hand sanding and so glossy on the inside with a slippery glaze. Which style of Christy’s signature tableware are you most in love with? If you’d like to see more and shop directly with Christy (and any of our fabulous makers) visit the ‘makers directory’ on our website (link in bio). ❤️ Photos

For the next 48 hours (or while stocks last) Beauty Pantry is offering a free full size cucumber toning face oil (a moisturiser and pore minimiser in one) when you buy a Night Repair Serum (rich in protective healing pomegranate oil). We absolutely swear by these Adelaide-made facial oils, and have a special shout out as well for the Turmeric Oil for anyone with congested, oily or irritated skin, it’s a game changer and has a loyal following from teens with breakouts right through the age spectrum. Ask Alecia all about how she makes these small batch oils by hand and why she uses the special blends she does, every ingredient has a purpose! 🌱🧖‍♀️🧖
