Bruschetta is nice and fresh and tasty and a delight in summer. How do I do it? Dice up some nice ripe tomatos, add garlic, salt and pepper, fresh basil and some good olive oil. Then its as easy as stirring the above ingredients together and adding to some fresh slices of baguette. And just […]
Latest Foodie Adventures
The Chimney
Another day, another bargain voucher. This time for The Chimney Restaurant in Northbridge, where for $40 you got to have $120 worth of food and wine off the menu. It was an appetising menu and we started with seared beef carpaccio with caper, gherkin, red onion, tomato and oregano salsa…. I love carpaccio and this […]
Kebabs
Sometimes when the mood strikes I like to wander through Coles and really thoroughly peruse the isles to see if there’s something fabulous that I just totally need. On one such days my must have item was wooden skewers, with the grand plan of making kebabs at some stage….. these sat in the drawer at […]
Subiaco Hotel
A banker took a few work mates and myself to dinner the other night, and we headed to the Subiaco Hotel, a fabulous spot that to date had not disappointed me. We started the night we a cleansing ale – I favoured the James Squire Golden Ale – nice! To start we shared a platter […]
Bunnings
Sometimes it’s all about life’s simple pleasures. Bunnings hotdogs are one of those pleasures. Nothing like heading down to the Balcatta store on the weekend and getting within cooee of the entrance and the smell of cooking onion and sausages on the bbq greeting you like an old friend. They are hard nah impossible to […]
Surf and Turf
Recently I’d been around my parent’s place and my mum had told me about the night that my brother and his girlfriend had been around for dinner and they’d all worked on surf and turf together. Amy had the idea to replicate a recipe they do at her work, so they threw butter into a […]

Salt and Pepper Squid
Salt and Pepper Squid This was the first time I had cooked with squid. My dad had given me a vacuumed packed packet of squid. So I thought salt and pepper squid would be the way to go, but GG preferred it wasn’t battered, so I just marinated the lovely pre-cut squid rings….. Olive oil, salt, […]
Anzac Biscuits
I thought I would get my Aussie-Aussie-Aussie on come January 26th and try my hand at Anzac Biscuits. Never tried them before and they definitely seem like an icon biscuit. I googled for a recipe and my preference with biscuits is always for something chewy. Brown sugar seems the key to a chewy biscuit so […]
Black Toms, West Perth
Food is a joy to me and I think tasting plates are just a brilliant creation and excuse to try numerous delicious flavours. The plate below came from Black Toms. One of the many lunches I went to in the blur that was December. I thought this was fairly impressive. The chicken skewers were super […]
