There’s something quite special about looking through a good cook book. The joy of perusing the recipes and more so being able to look at the stunning pictures of the finished products and pondering whether it would be something I could actually make? 🙂 As is often the case it can sometimes be who you […]

Last year in October I was lucky enough to secure tickets to the fifth Largesse Dinner. It was held at Divido and it was divine. Essentially it’s a gathering of 6 of Perth’s top chefs, who each prepared a course for a degustation style dinner in an effort to raise money for a chosen charity. We are […]

For Disney fans out there I want you to think about Beauty and the Beast and that wonderful scene when they ask Belle to “Be Our Guest”. I had been singing this song in my head for the past few days since receiving an email from the team at Petite Mort asking if I would […]

Balthazar was one of those places I’ve wanted to go to for a long time and had just never gotten around to. It’s had a consistent reputation as a solid fine dining establishment for many moons now and I’ve long been keen to sample the food that warranted such longevity. The stars aligned and an […]

Any excuse for a nice meal is fine by me and what better reason to don on a fancy frock and head out for something of the degustation persuasion than for GG’s Birthday! And this year it meant a return visit to Red Cabbage. We’d been to Red Cabbage for New Years and really enjoyed […]

Ahhhh a Friday lunch – felt like it had been a lifetime since I’d had one of these lined up. And sure, perhaps only the Friday before I’d spend 75% of my work day at the WACA watching the sensational first day of the Perth test between the Aussies and India, but still, a lunch […]

I had a good ol’ chat with my boss the other day who was looking for a place to take his wife for her birthday. So I started spieling off all of my faves and he asked about Petite Mort. I haven’t been was my reply, but I did follow up that it had a very […]

New Years – so overrated isn’t it! Always seems to be a bit of a struggle for me to muster much enthusiasm for a late night out. Stay up til midnight? Who am I, Cinderella? I’ve never been much of a night owl, much more of an early bird so I knew it would be […]

As soon as I had heard that Nobu was going to be opening in Perth I knew I wanted to head along and check it out. For two reasons – firstly my appreciation for Japanese food had definitely stepped it up a notch during 2011 and secondly I was a big Iron Chef fan and […]

I am incredibly spoilt. There’s just no two ways about it. My fellow GG is just amazing. I am the luckiest girl in the world. So I may have mentioned to him my wishlist of dining places for my upcoming 29th birthday…. at the top of the list was Dear Friends. I was lucky enough […]
