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 […]

I loved everything about my visit to Mandoon Estate. The weather was perfect which just showcased what a sensational new venue it is. Then there was the service, which was incredibly friendly and also well versed as to any intricacies of the menu. The two wines we sampled – the Reserve Sparkling and the Reserve […]

I am such a massive fan of Crown Perth. Now I’m no gambler, so I’ll admit that the casino side of things doesn’t do a lot for me but what a completely stellar job has been done of putting together an entirely impressive line-up of beautiful eateries! I’ve done my best to work my way […]

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 […]

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 […]

I tried to go to Marumo last year when I first heard about it. A hidden gem tucked away in what had previously been a Leeming fish and chip shop, that was serving up amazing Japanese food. Now last year in May I had secured a booking for late November. Yep that’s how long their wait list was, […]

Valentines Day is not a date on the calendar I would say is particularly special to GG and I. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ll take any excuse for a dinner out but there are other dates that are more special to us as a couple. Like April 23. Our first kiss in the car […]

Well there’s no two ways about it, I just love food. It brings me such joy to be presented with a beautiful dish. A carefully crafted recipe, lovingly prepared and elegantly plated up, an edible flower here, a restrained sprinkle of microherbs there – it is a thing of beauty. Now GG and I eat […]

Divido is a long time favourite of GG and mine. It holds a special place for us because it’s the first place we enjoyed a degustation dinner together in March 2009. Now Divido had actually been open since 2005 and way back then their specialty was very popular wood fired pizzas. I didn’t get to […]

Once upon a time….. I have been a fan of the Classroom ever since my first visit. It is seriously like walking back into your childhood with their nostalgic collection of school bags, netball hoops and class pictures and then perching yourself at a school desk while you enjoy a drink. Ahh yes, I suppose […]
