Dessert is a beautiful thing. It is sweet and lovely and can be a myriad of decadent flavours and differing textures. Sure dessert is a ‘sometimes’ food but I’m always smiling whenever that sometime rolls around. Now just imagine if you could prolong that special occasion and indulge in four courses of dessert in one […]

When Perth turns on the sunshine, it is some kinda wonderful. It just makes you want to get outside and for me, I love the chance to lunch somewhere you can really soak up the Summer time magic. I enjoyed lunch at the Boulevard Hotel in Floreat recently and talk about ticking all the boxes for […]

A good steak sandwich is a wonderful thing. For me the bread and the steak are the two key elements. You want a nice tender piece of steak, not too thin and still with a little pink in the middle. Then the bread needs to be lightly toasted, with a little crunch, though not so […]

I am a massive fan of Brookfield Place. They have done such wonderful work in creating a high quality dining precinct with some real top end eateries. Way back in the day I went to the Trustee. I actually think I had lunch there the first week it opened. And since then I’ve called in […]

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 […]

Many millions of dollars have been spent to give the Subiaco Hotel its long awaited and highly anticipated facelift. It’s been close to 18 months in the making and owners, Judy and Michael Monaghan, who have had the venue since 1971 are understandably excited! The doors to their flashed up venue swung open on Friday so […]

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it before but next year GG and I are holidaying in Europe. To say I’m a little excited about the six weeks of annual leave I have booked would be a massive understatement. To help with the planning process and for a little further inspiration, we may have also […]

Years ago GG and I decided we were an uber cultured pair and booked ourselves in for a night at the theatre to see Cyrano de Bergerac. Oh yes tres cultured! Only joking, but before we went to the show we went to the Globe Restaurant at the Parmelia Hilton for dinner. And I have […]

Winter had officially rolled into town on Tuesday night. It was freezing in Perth. I’d say definitely below 10 degrees and don’t get me started on the wind chill factor. Don’t get me started because a) I don’t really know much about it and b) in my expert opinion the wind chill factor was sub […]

Since my initial foray into chicken parmigiana I was keen to relive the experience. So when GG and I caught up with his parents at the Windsor recently and I spied it on the menu – Chicken parmigiana, mixed salad & fries 25 – it presented the perfect opportunity to see how they dished up […]
