For a while now and given the recent obsession with Masterchef, GG and I have been umming and ahhing about purchasing a pasta maker. He made the decision for us last Saturday and after a trip to the Re Store he got us one. An Italian one after some help from one of the little […]

Weapons up – I was ready to cook. I’ve done garlic prawns before but I thought it might be nice if with the crusty bread on the side I also did a bruscetta salad – spanish onion, basil, tomato and olive oil with salt and pepper. My way of preparing garlic prawns I have taken […]

My favourite local Vietnamese place is called Nha Trang. The food is entirely delicious and our order each time is fairly standard – special fried rice, crispy lemon chicken and beef with vegetables and cashews. We ordered the other night after doing the food shopping. A lovely tasty treat to come home to. They put lovely […]

After watching the rubgy one night at Subi Oval, I discovered the challenge of trying to find somewhere in Subiaco to eat after the match. The 4 or 5 places were all full to the brim with reservations, so given that I had parked up near work, we decided instead to venture back to West […]

This is just to say thanks to Old El Paso for having tasty and easy to make Mexican meals. By just adding a few ingredients you can make a yummy dinner. Here are there chicken enchiladas, which I added a little bit too much cheese too, but they are super easy and I like them. 500grams […]

Here are some tasty treats that my mum makes, delicious mini cheesecakes, she’s a star. They use sort of like an anzac biscuit, I believe Arnott’s Butternut Snaps are my mum’s preferred choice and you put them into a tray into a hot oven for a few minutes so they get soft, then you get them out and push […]

To take advantage of the brilliance that is the entertainment book, GG and I headed back to Sandalford Winery in the Swan Valley on a perfect autumn day of blue skies and sunshine. We’d been the year before and it is high of the list of our favourite Wineries in the Valley. Totally worth the […]

One of my new favourite places in Perth is the Re Store in Leederville – amazing spot, how have I lived without this place for so long! Re Store 231 Oxford Street Leederville WA 6007 (08) 9444 9644 When I went there the other day GG and I spied a 6 pack of quails – […]

After staying at Burswood for a night, seemed like a nice idea to grab some breakfast on the way home. We tried our luck at the Old Bakery on Eighth Avenue in Maylands. Was really impressed with the place, and not just because it had belonged to my family many many moons ago. Perhaps the […]

This was my first try at my new Women’s Weekly old fashioned favourites “sweets” cook book and decided to tackle buttermilk scones. They were a little flatter than I would have liked, but hey its a learning curve and with enough strawberry jam and cream they look taller 🙂      They were well received by […]
