I really enjoy cooking. It can be such a relaxing way to spend an afternoon, pottering around the kitchen, trying out a new recipe. And I don’t profess to be brilliant at it, but I very much like to try. And what do they say about practise? It makes perfect or something? So when Belmont […]

For the second time in my life, I made the decision to book in an annual leave day from work so I could head along to the Good Food & Wine Show on a Friday. This year I even convinced GG to come along with me. Now I recognise my GFWS experience may be slightly […]

Recently I had a later than anticipated night out at the fabulous first birthday soiree at Laneway Lounge and had a breakfast scheduled for the following morning with a friend at Uncle Joe’s Mess Hall. I hadn’t been to Uncle Joe’s before, but as soon as I saw the menu I was pleased with our […]

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 […]

High tea is an indulgently lovely way to spend a few leisurely hours, chatting with great friends while sipping tea and enjoying an elegant tower of sweets and savouries. Throw in free flowing sparkling and celebrity chef and Dilmah ambassador Peter Kuruvita and you’ve got yourself a very special afternoon ahead. I was recently invited […]

Years ago GG and I decided we were an uber cultured pair and booked ourselves in for a night at the theatre to see Cyrano de Bergerac. Oh yes tres cultured! Only joking, but before we went to the show we went to the Globe Restaurant at the Parmelia Hilton for dinner. And I have […]

I am definitely partial to eating out but some weeks there’s a few more dining out events dotted on the calendar than others. Recently I had back to back breakfasts booked in for a Thursday and Friday morning. And of all the meals I eat out if say that breakfast is the least common. But […]

Winter had officially rolled into town on Tuesday night. It was freezing in Perth. I’d say definitely below 10 degrees and don’t get me started on the wind chill factor. Don’t get me started because a) I don’t really know much about it and b) in my expert opinion the wind chill factor was sub […]

Ok my foodie friends you now have about a month to gear up for the return of the Good Food & Wine Show from July 11th to 13th at the Perth Exhibition and Convention Centre. Get excited!!! Now in its ninth year and continuing to go from strength to strength. I actually went for the very […]

Recently I waxed lyrical about the sublime delight that is Pemberton Finger Limes. So if you’d seen that you can appreciate that I’m a pretty big fan of these zesty spherical wonders. So it was wonderful to recently head along to the Terrace Hotel to see them showcase this WA treasure in a series of […]
