Vincenzo Garreffa is a very popular butcher in the West, the self proclaimed Prince of Flesh, and he runs Mondos in Inglewood. Now I had visited this fine establishment on many occasions because it a great butcher shop, but more recently I found out that they also hold cooking classes, an exciting revelation. I looked through the list […]

And when this happy dozen were all sat down together we were officially informed that tonight we were guinea pigs and I can assure you that everyone there was very excited to hear this. We were at Sugar & Nice in Inglewood to preview a collaboration between their uber talented team and pastry chef young […]

Now as I hope is vastly apparent I’m very much Team WA and love to wave the flag for all things Perth food, but I’ll be honest, I don’t mind at all when a few East Coasters make a brief appearance in our fair city. Especially when one of them has a piece of cake […]

Samson’s Paddock has been on my endless wishlist of places to visit for as long as I’ve been following them on social media, which has been quite a while now. I’ve longingly looked at photos of their food and in my head kept saying I really have to get there one day! Sometimes you just […]

“We’re going to have a ball tonight – let’s have a ball! Down at the Globe!” I sung this Big Audio Dynamite classic in my head on the way to dinner recently at one of the CBD’s newer additions, The Globe. Situated in the vibrant 140 Perth complex on William Street, The Globe is a […]

From the front it looks fairly pint sized, but as we found out when we […]

The sun has really dialled up the temperature of late so venturing out is something of a challenge, but it what summer in Perth is all about, so best to just embrace it. And that we did recently when we decided to venture out to Hillarys for a bite of lunch on a particularly warm […]

I clearly had not realised that Perth has been crying out for more fried chicken options. Lately though, several Asian chains have recognised the need and opened debut outlets in our fare city. The most recent of these arrivals is Nene Chicken in Vic Park. On our drive there one Saturday I found myself singing […]

Back in the day, and by ‘the day’ I mean 2011 to 2014, I used to work on Ogilvie Road in Applecross. A scenic office near the river, it was a nice part of the world to work from. One fond memory of this time is Friday lunches because this was the only day of […]

Summer is the perfect time for salads and they are even better when they are pretty like this one. I initially read the recipe here, though I made a few small tweaks when I gave it a whirl at home. It was actually pretty filling for the two of us! Enough for lunch the next […]
