Farmers are a resilient bunch and they breed them tough in the West. It would have been extremely tough however in March this year when Cyclone Olwyn hit and devastated growers in the Gascoyne region. Beautiful crops obliterated by the destructive fury of Mother Nature. It would have been a huge knock down, but these […]
Latest Foodie Adventures
Rockpool – The Burger Bar
“The cornerstone of good cooking is to source the finest produce.” Neil Perry I have a couple of Neil Perry’s cookbooks on my shelf at home and I’ve seen him feature on many TV shows over the years and I’ve eaten at his Perth restaurant, Rockpool, a few times before. But this week I was […]
Bada Bing Cafe
Bada Bing Cafe is one of the most memorably friendliest places I have eaten at in a while. The staff are all so pleasant and the smiles on their faces suggest to me that they really do enjoy where they work and that’s always a delight to see. Back in the day, many, many moons […]
Oakover Grounds
Blue skies and sunshine. Winter in Perth is a tough gig. Sure the sun doesn’t have the same bite as in summer, but it still does a decent job of providing some warmth if you bask in its rays. GG and I visited Oakover Grounds recently, the rebranded and revamped Oakover Wines. I love the […]
Chophouse Perth – Steak on the Terrace
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 […]
Cauliflower Pizza
I love pizza. Just so much. I would have it on my list of ‘these are a few of my favourite things’ along with raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. But post Europe, GG and I have endeavored to aim to eat a bit healthier with less of an emphasis on carbs, so I’ve […]
Straits Cafe – Winter Buffet!
Last year Rendezvous in Scarborough underwent a massive refurb and the results are impressive! The rooms all had a modern facelift and the restaurant downstairs previously known as Pines became Straits Cafe. A change is as good as a holiday but along with the name change was a switch from weekend buffets to al a […]
You Plate It – making dinner time easier :)
Having just gotten back from a fairly long holiday I’ve quickly been reminded about the hectic pace of a working week. Trying to balance work commitments with exercise, pets, partners, family and friends, not to mention all the other general running around can mean that figuring out what to have for dinner can become something […]
Rustico Tapas & Bar
Ain’t two ways about it, Rockingham is a hell of a long drive from home, probably just under an hour from our place. So, when GG and I headed Rocko-ward for a catch up lunch with his parents I had high hopes that the place we had chosen would warrant the slightly longer drive. I’d […]
#Europe2015 – All that food!
Holidays. What’s not to love about them? I swear that my recent six week European adventure was a good year and a half in the making. Hours spent planning out which countries to visit and then further refining those plans to where will we stay and finally where will we eat! It was a labour […]
Perth Munchkin
I love Perth and I love food. So many amazing places to visit.
These are just my thoughts on the different places I've visited.... plus an occasional recipes.
My blog is my creative outlet. It's fun and it's a wonderful excuse to eat out every now and then :)
