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 […]

Super easy, super tasty, super pretty recipe! It’s a fun, fast dinner or lunch and it sure to impress with its vibrant colours 🙂 Summer time tomatoes are bursting with sweetness so pick up a few punnets and a packet of puff pastry and you are in business! Cherry Tomato Tarte Tartin Approximately 6 slices […]

If you still have some belated Christmas or perhaps New Year entertaining to do then here’s a recipe that I just love – Pork Belly with Chilli Caramel Sauce and Fresh Herbs. This is another one that you could recently find on a recipe card in store at Belmont Forum but for those that didn’t get […]

Ahh Christmas Ham….. such wonderful stuff. Though there is always sooooo much of it! If you are still working through a large leg then why not whip up some of this tomato relish and have some ham and egg burgers for breakie! This is one of the recipes I recently did for Belmont Forum’s Twelve […]

When Perth turns on the sunshine, it is some kinda wonderful. It just makes you want to get outside and for me, I love the chance to lunch somewhere you can really soak up the Summer time magic. I enjoyed lunch at the Boulevard Hotel in Floreat recently and talk about ticking all the boxes for […]

I have vague memories of visiting the Court Hotel but it would have been years ago, before their big refurb and it was only for a drink. So a recent invitation to their Summer Menu Launch was a welcome opportunity to check out this Perth institution.   The weather was some kind of Summer wonderful […]

I love Holy Bagel Company bagels, so when I venture to a new cafe that stocks them it is very hard to go past them! Such was the case on a recent visit to Hylin in West Leederville. A trendy new corner cafe, with vast open windows, cute potted plants and a friendly crew running […]

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 […]

When the first store opened in Northbridge earlier this year, folks flocked from far and wide to tuck into PappaRich’s famous Roti Canai and the long list of other delicious traditional Malaysian dishes. And it was with similar fanfare that the second store opened recently at Carousel. That’s right – two PappaRich’s in P-town! Aren’t […]
