My co-worker has been on leave touring sunny Europe with his lovely lady for 5 weeks. So it has meant that there hasn’t been that many opportunities for me to leave my desk for lunch during the week. And ok that has been tough because one big perk of my job is the occasion ‘work […]

I was very lucky the other week and with thanks to http://www.tweetperth.com.au won a seat for myself and GG at the @tweetperth table at the re-opening night of Outback Jacks in Northbridge. I’d enjoy my last (and first) visit to OBJs in Rockingham recently (http://atomic-temporary-19383105.wpcomstaging.com/2011/07/31/outback-jacks-rockingham/). Good steaks, friendly service and perfect for families. So it […]

Thursdays this year have become the night that GG and I head out for dinner to take advantage of the many, many, many bargain dinners that have been on offer at the many, many, many voucher websites that are currently operating. I love eating out and these websites give me the perfect excuse to try […]

One of life’s joys is the chance to catch up with friends that you don’t get to see that often. So when my favourite crew rocked into town from Dubai I was more than a little excited about a chance to head out to dinner with them. The initial plan had been to re-visit one […]

I ran the City to Surf marathon on August 28th which meant in the lead up to race day I didn’t have much opportunity to eat out. The mission was all about staying home and filling myself to the brim with all things carbs. It was pretty fun J Why the night before the race […]

I think the key to getting some attention these days is doing something a little different. Think outside the box, colour outside the lines, etc, etc – be different, you get the idea J So when I received an email outlining an event called the free-to-use Hendrick’s Refined Courtship Clinic I was more than a […]

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 […]
