There is something incredibly inspiring about breakfasting with people who speak with passion. And the variety of life is such that what people feel passionate about can very much be different strokes for different folks. Could be a passion for food or passion for a worthy cause or in this case a combination of both […]

GG’s birthday is actually on March 18th so I knew when the Monday rolled around, which was the last day of our South West mini break, that I wanted to book in somewhere special for us. Now an incredibly special spot in the South West is Cape Lodge. In my mind, just wistfully wanting over […]

So we’d enjoyed olive oil at Olio Bello, then tapas at Morries, wine at Must, chocolate at the Margaret River Chocolate Factory, tasty sauces and jams at Providore and our final stop was at Wills Domain for a cheese platter and to partake in some of their wine.   Located in the world famous Margaret […]

So after a relaxing afternoon chillaxing in our home away from home, a lovely one bedroom apartment at Smith’s Beach Resort, evening fell and it was time to venture out for what was to be the official meal to celebrate GG’s birthday.

It was when they had a special truffle menu and it was a seriously delicious evening. Ever since that visit I had been keen to return. So when the BFF, Mrs M,  proposed a dinner catch up I suggested […]

A very special part of having a food blog is the occasional invitation you receive to head along to a new restaurant. So lovely to think that someone wants you to sample their food and share your experience with others. Such was the case when I received a dinner invitation to the recently opened No4 […]

Consistency is a wonderful thing. And I suspect this is why Sandalford winery has long been one of my favourites in the Swan Valley. Granted that it perhaps cemented itself as a favourite all the more last year when GG and I had our reception there and they did such a stellar job, but whenever […]

Well Christmas in Perth, it tends to be a hot affair and this year did not disappoint. The Christmas/New Year period delivered a blistering heatwave that left the majority melting! Christmas Day itself was just a touch under 40 degrees but I’m sure it was north of this figure further inland, for instance in the […]
