We are spoilt bunch in the West these days. There are just so many lovely local producers in WA that make amazing food, drink and kitchen inspired homeware products. So I welcomed the news from Westfield Whitfords City that for a few coming Saturdays from 9am til 2pm they would be holding ‘ The Market’. […]

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 […]

West Australian lamb is amazing. I’ve cooked up lamb chops and cutlets many a time, but recently I decided it was time for my lamb roasting debut. I’d roasted pork, beef and chook before but never gotten around to lamb – clearly an oversight! But with my family coming around for lunch recently it was […]

A good mixed meat roll in a wonderful thing and Toscanini’s in Applecross do a sterling job of knocking one up. With your choice of white or grainy rolls they are jammed packed with your choice of fresh salad – lettuce, tomato, grated carrot, Spanish onion and cucumber and then attention turns to meat. It’s […]

When GG and I arrived back from an amazing weekend down south last Sunday I didn’t have too much enthusiasm for spending a long time in the kitchen to get our dinner ready. So I was appreciative that a special delivery from Barilla had arrived during the week. It meant that dinner would be ready in […]

I’ve been to Jamie’s Italian three times now. I was fairly smitten after my first visit. I had gotten to try one of his renowned planks and loved it, then enjoyed the rabbit pasta dish I had chosen and thought the chocolate brownie for dessert was divine. And service had been wonderful. The second visit wasn’t quite as spot […]

I can’t say I’ve eaten much Lebanese food before but on a recent planned catch up with two lovely couples I know, a visit to The Prophet was proposed. Now I hadn’t been before but I’d heard a lot of good things about it and couldn’t wait to try it out! So one fine Saturday […]

Western Australia’s amateur cooks – get ready to fly the foodie flag! Quick, grab your aprons and wooden spoons and head to the kitchen because it’s time to get creative! As a part of Celebrate WA festivities there’s a new cooking competition on the calendar, mark it down because with thanks to the Department of Agriculture and […]

Plenty of things bring me joy in life. Food is quite high on the list, no surprise there I’m sure 🙂 Combine that with a bargain and I’m one happy camper! My boss, Boss B, recently let me know that his local Indian restaurant had a 50% special going. Well say no more I said! Some quick […]

“Gourmet burgers made fresh to order with premium local ingredients and lots of love and attention” I do enjoy a good burger and definitely like them to be made fresh and where possible with WA ingredients, keep things local. I’d heard of Missy Moo’s Burgers before but given it was in Freo I’d never ventured there to […]
