Many years ago I was introduced to the wonder of the Turkish Gözleme. A Gözleme is a savoury traditional Turkish hand made and hand rolled pastry. Fresh pastry is rolled out, filled and sealed, then cooked over a griddle. The name derives from the Turkish word göz meaning eye. One of my favourite places in […]

Back in late February I was reading the Fresh section of the West Australian and heard that a new addition to the Beaufort St strip was expected – El Publico (http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/lifestyle/a/-/lifestyle/12992400/holy-guacamole-it-s-the-real-deal/). I had sort of forgotten about it, but then I saw it mentioned on facebook the other day, then included in a few tweets […]

GG and I are currently working through our to do list ahead of our big day later in the year. And I’m pleased to say we are slowly getting there. To that end we headed into town on the weekend to suss out a few things. Ahead of this though, we were both starving so […]

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 […]

Super excited for three reasons a few weekends ago – firstly it was a looooong weekend (woohoo!), secondly I was going out for Indian good and finally I was catching up some good friends who I hadn’t seen in a whole. Three times yay! We’d made a booking at the 2 Fat Indians, where I […]

Honestly it was like eating in an oven…… It was Friday night and it been one of those days when as the sun went down the heat did just not seem to abate – you’d think living in Perth my whole life I would be used to this summer stretching into autumn caper…. But alas […]

Many moons ago I went to uni at Curtin in Bentley. I was there for four and a half years all up and I have such fond memories of my time there….. despite all those horrendous exams I had to get through J There’s just something about the whole uni lifestyle that is wonderful. Your […]
