I have always been a big fan of Sandalford. Easily one of my top three spots in the Swan Valley. Amazing place that has never failed to impress me with their food and let’s face it their wines aren’t half bad either J They hold an annual degustation dinner and as chance would have it, […]

I rarely go out for breakfast. I’m not really sure why. I don’t mind an early start but I find that often if I’m having a breakfast catch up its usually more of a brunch really. Anyways though, I was catching up with a dear friend of mine who I hadn’t seen in forever and […]

Earlier in the year GG and I went along to Sittella’s annual long lunch. Amazing day and while we were there we were lucky enough to meet a lovely couple called Jodi and Alon, who were the owners and wine maker from Bella Ridge Estate (http://www.bellaridge.com.au/ ). I hadn’t tried any Bella Ridge wines before […]

I’ve been a little bit slack waxing lyrical about the last cooking club that J’dore Cuisiner held. Our tribute to Modern Australia, or “Mod Oz” as we colloquially were calling it. I mean come one for an Aussie get together if you can abbreviate something then it really has to be done 🙂  Perhaps the slackness […]

Two visits to Divido in one month! I’m a lucky lady. The first, earlier in July had been to enjoy their Champagne Monday special (http://atomic-temporary-19383105.wpcomstaging.com/2011/07/21/divido/) and secondly on July 24th was for their Truffle Degustation Dinner. July is truffle month in Perth and I have always wanted to spend some quality time enjoying the black gold […]

So after lunch at Mrs S with my sister the other day, we decided we would extend our Maylands food safari and wandered around the corner to Sherbet. Sherbet has established a solid reputation for delicious cupcakes or if you are looking for something bigger, some very impressive looking cakes. We’d already eaten lunch, so it […]

I grew up in Maylands. It’s a lovely suburb, right near the river, close to the city and in recent times there’s been plenty of work done to trend’ify the Eighth Avenue cafe strip. One of the new additions that has developed a fab reputation for itself is right on the corner and it’s called […]

I’m always excited when I stumble across one of the many voucher websites and find one for a restaurant that I’ve always really wanted to visit. Such was the case on Stardeals a few weeks back when they had one for Blackbird Restaurant in East Perth. The deal was for a ‘Gourmet Lake View Lunch […]

Ever since I visited the Leederville store earlier this year, I’ve been hankering to re-visit Little Caesars. There are so many wonderful pizzas on the menu and we only sampled two last time. I do have Theo’s cook book at home and have tried my hand at making a few but let’s face it, they are […]

I’ve been to Hippo Creek twice already, both times to the Subiaco restaurant, so when I saw a Scoopon voucher for Hippo Creek in Hillarys I was most pleased because it meant I’d have a chance to take GG along and he loves his steak! So I bought the voucher ages ago and we finally […]
