There probably aren’t too many restaurateurs who would open their third venue and then immediately launch into their fourth. A really ambitious fourth at that. But such is the drive of Andy Freeman and Sam Astbury that the business partners and their team took it all in their stride when they recently opened The Flour Factory. […]

When I had the opportunity recently to try my hand at recipe writing for Belmont Forum I turned my attention to desserts for my third recipe (after whipping up some Mini Beef Burgers with Hand Cut Chips and also Lemon and Herb Chicken Schnitzel with Slaw and Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges). It really was a whole […]

I hadn’t been to Ace Pizza in a year and I was reminded this week just how great it is. It has actually been exactly a year because Ace has become my Dad’s birthday dinner place of choice and myself and the rest of the family are very happy about that. Because it is just […]

In the past fortnight or so I have been to La Veen three times. Fairly high stats given that prior to this I’d not been once. Don’t get me wrong I’ve wanted to go for a while, but King Street in town isn’t currently close to the office so it was going to need to be […]

I have such fond memories of Gelare. Especially during uni days when it made for such an affordable Tuesday night catch up. I mean half price waffles makes it very hard to say no! And I’d say my go to flavours were the zesty and tropical passionfruit sorbet and the uber creamy vanilla bean. It was always an indulgent […]

I first visited Enrique’s not long after it popped up on the scene last Summer. I think the idea of pop up venues is great. Keeps things fresh and perhaps gives a place a chance to push their creative boundaries a little further, as they know they have that limited window to make their mark […]

Get those fedoras ready folks because the Colours of Cuba have arrived at Crown Perth! From now through to September 17th there’s a great range of Cuban dishes featuring at various Crown restaurants, some very snazzy Cuban cocktails at the bars, salsa nights on Wednesdays and plenty of exciting prizes too.  So if you are […]

Seinfeld is such a classic 90’s shows and is one of those series where I’ve seen all the episodes a zillion times and they still make me laugh. I’m actually so pleased there are currently two episodes a night from Monday through Thursday on 7mate. That’s a win right there, plus there are on at […]

As a part of a Seinfeld themed cooking club, my friends and I recently tried making homemade Snickers bars. We worked off an American recipe, so it needed to be tweaked slightly so we could tackle it in Oz. Here is the Aussie’d version. Ingredients: 600g of milk chocolate for coating 50g butter 1/2 cup condensed […]

Many new bars have opened up in Perth over the last year or so and one that I’ve ventured to that has its own distinct jazz inspired flair is The Laneway Lounge. I went there for dinner a while back and fell in love with their fatty chips with truffle aioli (just simply divine) and more recently went to […]
