When I heard that Chophouse was going to be opening in Perth I was excited. I’d been to the one in Sydney once before and had memories of it being a lovely night out, so it was welcome news that a west coast addition to this steak house eatery was on the way. GG loves […]

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 enjoy dessert. That amazing smell of a freshly baked cake; eagerly dipping a spoon into a rich, silky chocolate mousse; watching ice-cream indulgently melt onto a warm pie, these are things of joy to me. They make me happy. And I know that things of the sweet persuasion are not necessary every day foods, […]

Perth is awash with new venues these days and I. Just. Love. It! Something new is opening almost every other week and last week was no exception. A quaint little roof top bar with a wall of welcoming greenery and a glowing yellow sign beckoning you closer. Welcome to The Sherry. You can find this […]

Until recently, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you the last time I went for a picnic. I remember going on plenty with my family as a youth but now that I’m all grown up, it isn’t something GG and I have rushed to do. Truth be told, I’m not much of an outdoorsy […]

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 […]

The Standard. If I think about this relative newbie’s name, it could be considered a fairly bold proclamation. Were they saying that they were the new standard for food in Perth? Ooo la la. I liked their style and I was excited to see what standard they were setting. I had seen much social media […]

It’s going to be a hot one in Perth this week so this dessert should help to cool you down. It’s the first time I’ve tried to make a semifreddo, but I was pretty happy with the creamy, tropical result 🙂 You can really mix it up with whatever flavours are your favourite, but for […]

I don’t often go out for an ice cream. I probably couldn’t tell you the last time I went out specifically for a scoop but that’s not to say I’m not a fan. We generally have a tub in the freezer or Snickers ice cream bars if they are on special, when I tend to get […]

Hip hip hurray and a very happy birthday to Public House. The youngest venue in the Publican Groups WA stable, it has a real South American flare. This was the inspiration for their first birthday party. Each guest received a passport when they arrived which took you on a tour of South America. As you […]
