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 […]

Two visits to Divido in one month! I’m a lucky lady. The first, earlier in July had been to enjoy their Champagne Monday special (http://atomic-temporary-19383105.wpcomstaging.com/2011/07/21/divido/) and secondly on July 24th was for their Truffle Degustation Dinner. July is truffle month in Perth and I have always wanted to spend some quality time enjoying the black gold […]

So after lunch at Mrs S with my sister the other day, we decided we would extend our Maylands food safari and wandered around the corner to Sherbet. Sherbet has established a solid reputation for delicious cupcakes or if you are looking for something bigger, some very impressive looking cakes. We’d already eaten lunch, so it […]

I grew up in Maylands. It’s a lovely suburb, right near the river, close to the city and in recent times there’s been plenty of work done to trend’ify the Eighth Avenue cafe strip. One of the new additions that has developed a fab reputation for itself is right on the corner and it’s called […]

I’m always excited when I stumble across one of the many voucher websites and find one for a restaurant that I’ve always really wanted to visit. Such was the case on Stardeals a few weeks back when they had one for Blackbird Restaurant in East Perth. The deal was for a ‘Gourmet Lake View Lunch […]

Ever since I visited the Leederville store earlier this year, I’ve been hankering to re-visit Little Caesars. There are so many wonderful pizzas on the menu and we only sampled two last time. I do have Theo’s cook book at home and have tried my hand at making a few but let’s face it, they are […]

I’ve been to Hippo Creek twice already, both times to the Subiaco restaurant, so when I saw a Scoopon voucher for Hippo Creek in Hillarys I was most pleased because it meant I’d have a chance to take GG along and he loves his steak! So I bought the voucher ages ago and we finally […]

GG had been given a Freedom voucher for Christmas and was taking his sweet time using it so we finally found a Saturday when there was spare time to peruse their wares and we did need a new cupboard so at least we had a target in mind. We’d been at the gym in the […]

For the last night of the 4-week wine course that GG and I were doing they arranged a dinner where a three course meal was matched with tastes of two different wines and then discussed. We were only a small group just 11 but it was nice and cosy at our table at George St Bistro. […]

A last minute  invitation and GG and I found ourselves out to dinner last Sunday night at Outback Jacks in Rockingham instead of at home eating leftovers. We had driven down to Serpentine earlier in the day to visit GG’s parents and it was also his sisters birthday that day who also lived down that […]
