Attention fine foodie enthusiasts of Perth! Mark it in your calendars – Dine for Life 2014 is on Thursday, October 2nd! First held back in 2009 “Dine for Life is an innovative charity concept that fuses fine dining with raising awareness and money for an important cause”. I’ve been to two of the events over the years, […]

For the second time in my life, I made the decision to book in an annual leave day from work so I could head along to the Good Food & Wine Show on a Friday. This year I even convinced GG to come along with me. Now I recognise my GFWS experience may be slightly […]

One of my favourite dishes that my dad made for me when I grew up was steak tartare. Usually for a weekend lunch, he’d serve it on super fresh rye bread (sometimes with caraway) with sliced pickle (preferably Poski Olgorkie) and I just loved it. I had never tried to make it myself though. Hard to […]

I went to Sydney for a few days last week for work and it was great. Some really productive meetings, a chance to catch up with a very good friend of mine for dinner at an entirely wonderful Greek restaurant and just generally a nice change of scene from the office. But I was back […]

David Bowie and Freddie Mercury paired up to sing the beautiful duet ‘Under Pressure’… it’s super catchy and epic and it builds beautifully. So in a random link to pressure, talk about the pressure for the crew opening their new venue in the space previously occupied by Jacksons. Oh yes, the space synonymous with a […]

Recently I had a later than anticipated night out at the fabulous first birthday soiree at Laneway Lounge and had a breakfast scheduled for the following morning with a friend at Uncle Joe’s Mess Hall. I hadn’t been to Uncle Joe’s before, but as soon as I saw the menu I was pleased with our […]

I love Perth. Just love it to bits. I’ve always lived here. It’s a place where we are spoilt with an abundance of sunshine and I feel quite passionate about the amazing local produce that we have available to enjoy each season. In part, that’s why I actually started my blog. It gets you in touch with fellow local […]

Many new bars have opened up in Perth over the last year or so and one that I’ve ventured to that has its own distinct jazz inspired flair is The Laneway Lounge. I went there for dinner a while back and fell in love with their fatty chips with truffle aioli (just simply divine) and more recently went to […]

I love a steak sandwich. Such a solid lunch option. And I’m generally happy with a fairly simple affair. Nice thickly sliced toasted bread or a roll, a decent piece of steak, maybe some grilled onions, a few greens and something tomato-ish, whether that be fresh slices or a dollop of tomato sauce or perhaps even […]

I’d never been to Joondalup Resort before but I was invited along a cheese dinner they were holding at their Bistro 38 Restaurant in partnership with Yarra Valley Dairy. And I was pretty excited because I am a long time appreciator of cheese 🙂 Set amongst lush emerald fairways and natural bushland at Joondalup Resort, Bistro 38 […]
