Every now and then I’m lucky enough to receive an email letting me know about a fab new foodie product that is about to hit the Perth shelves. In this instance it was a product that was going to feature in Perth fridges. Introducing Chobani Yoghurt. Chobani is pronounced “CHO-BAHN-KNEE,” and is Greek for the word “shepherd” […]

My uni days were spent at Curtin – a quality four and a half years where my lunch of choice was a chip roll from George’s Tavern and my favourite snack was a choc chip muffin and a chocolate milk from Bookmark Cafe. It was a wonderful time to be alive However I’ll admit that […]

It was catch up time with my friend Miss E last week and we were keen to head along to the newly refurbished Llama Bar. I’ll put in the disclaimer here that part of the reason I was keen to check it out was that the lovely Miss E’s other half was involved with the […]

Perth is turning itself into quite the chocolate coated city these days. We’ve had Koko Black set up shop at Claremont Quarter last year and the Margaret River Chocolate Factory opened a new store in the CBD….. but there’s been one chocolatier whose managed to make their mark on the chocolate landscape of Australia since […]

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.

Having said that there is also something nice about simplicity and when a lovely lady I work with mentioned that her daughter was having a fundraiser for school that involved cookie dough I was intrigued. Sign me up for a tub […]

I heart chocolate and love to embrace the opportunity at Easter time to try out a few recipes with a distinctly chocolate flavour. This year because of some brilliant aligning of the stars, people in Oz scored a 5-day long weekend as Easter and Anzac Day lined up. Talk about fabulous! So over those days GG and I […]

I’m a very lucky girl and recently GG said that if I picked a dessert recipe from one of my cook books that he would make it for me. I am very spoiled. So I perused many books and settled on a recipe from the Women’s Weekly Sweets Old Fashion Favourites Book – The Key […]

So the final course in our three course adventure for our parents was to tackle a creme brulee. Back in December, Santa Claus had known his audience well and a kitchen blow torch and a can of butane found its way into my stocking. So excited!! And I’ve been hanging out for an opportunity to […]
