Sometimes, the big ideas are pretty small The IKEA 2016 catalogue hit letterboxes recent and this year there is a focus on something very close to my heart – eating. What a fabulous theme! So there’s everything from complete kitchens to kitchen utensils to table settings and even food! There’s some beautiful new modular ranges out […]

When a new place opens around town and the hype is super positive it means there are fairly high expectations when you go for a visit. But as I found out when I recently dined at Shadow Wine Bar they are embracing the influx of praise and ensuring that new visitors are similarly as impressed. GG […]

One of my favourite recipes at the moment is for Pork, Apple and Thyme Sausage Rolls and here’s the recipe I use: Filling Ingredients Good pork […]

I think learning something new is a wonderful thing. It adds another string to your bow, can expand your horizons and in general new skills can be handy to have.

I would never profess to be kind of coffee aficionado, but it’s noticeable when you are served a nice coffee.  I recently headed to West Perth for breakfast. […]

I don’t live close to Fremantle so I wouldn’t say that it’s a suburb I visit frequently, but over the course of a week I called into May Street Larder twice, East Freo was in focus. The first visit was with my good friend Mrs P, aka @theholynailperth, for a breakfast adventure. We were both […]
