I love sausage rolls. They are a delicious pastry wonder. Add tomato sauce and forget about it – just perfection! But I’ve never made them at home. But I thought the time was right to give them a red hot go. A wee while back I had ordered a magic box of beef from Hampshire Grass […]

I wouldn’t say that bagels are something I eat frequently. The only week of my life when I can recall them being my breakfast food of choice, was when GG and I first visited New York back in 2010. We were staying at a Best Western in midtown and breakfast was included, so each morning […]

April is a big month for Perth foodies. It signals the arrival of the Eat Drink Perth festival. It’s an impressive line up of degustation and progressive dinners, family style events, cooking demonstrations and even a massive and sure to be delicious food truck rumble – definitely something for everyone! To kick off this month long […]

Chik and Kent was a place I’d seen mentioned on Facebook for the past few weeks and as a lover of Indian food I got it in my head that I wanted to try it out. It made it onto my never ending wish list. As chance would have it, good ol‘ Dimmi came to the party with […]

My memories of the Leederville Hotel back in the day (uni days for me) are that it was quite the seedy affair – the ‘seedy Leedy’. A vast venue that was fairly dark, a little dingy, but nonetheless not a bad spot for a dance on their signature sticky floors after a few drinks. I can’t […]

Mt Barker Free Range Chickens are a happy bunch of chooks ‘free to do whatever they like, wherever they please’. Sounds like quite the pleasant and stress free life for a chicken. As soon as these chicks hit three weeks old they are free to roam the farm during the day – scratching in the grass, […]

I’ve been to two work breakfasts now at Tarts ,Café in Northbridge. They have a great private ‘Boardroom’ out the back and it’s a really lovely venue for a small group of around a dozen folk for an interesting over breakie chat about the outlook for the economy or currency strategy as it was on […]

On the March long weekend I got it in my head that I wanted to roast a chook for dinner. But I decided I wanted to mix it up and had a few ideas on the flavour front. So quick, quick! To the fridge and pantry it was hunting time! Ingredients I large whole chook 4 […]

Perth foodies get your diaries out and mark your calendars, May 2 – 4! Brand Events, those talented folk who bought the Gourmet Escape to Margaret River, are now bringing the World’s Greatest Restaurant Festival to our fair city. That’s right, it’s time for Taste of Perth! Langley Park will play host to over 10 […]

On my first visit to Rockpool I was fairly underwhelmed. So much so that I didn’t have dessert for fear of further disappointment. I know, me, not having dessert! It doesn’t make sense. But I now suspect it may have been some ordering choices that were the primary drivers behind this initial impression. I recently […]
