It was a while back now but I had to give everyone a reminder that on one of the first Sundays of each month this year you should have totally have to get yourself to Lamonts Wine Store in Cottesloe. So on these first Sundays they put on a delicious tapas menu, available for either […]

West Australian lamb is amazing. I’ve cooked up lamb chops and cutlets many a time, but recently I decided it was time for my lamb roasting debut. I’d roasted pork, beef and chook before but never gotten around to lamb – clearly an oversight! But with my family coming around for lunch recently it was […]

A good mixed meat roll in a wonderful thing and Toscanini’s in Applecross do a sterling job of knocking one up. With your choice of white or grainy rolls they are jammed packed with your choice of fresh salad – lettuce, tomato, grated carrot, Spanish onion and cucumber and then attention turns to meat. It’s […]

I went to Juanita’s in Subi the other week. Up the end of Rokeby Road closer to Thomas than Hay I had actually not heard of it before. But I was catching up with a new friend, Lady B, to discuss all things WA Signature Dish and Juanita’s was chosen as our rendezvous spot. It’s a […]

I love sausage rolls. They are a delicious pastry wonder. Add tomato sauce and forget about it – just perfection! But I’ve never made them at home. But I thought the time was right to give them a red hot go. A wee while back I had ordered a magic box of beef from Hampshire Grass […]

I wouldn’t say that bagels are something I eat frequently. The only week of my life when I can recall them being my breakfast food of choice, was when GG and I first visited New York back in 2010. We were staying at a Best Western in midtown and breakfast was included, so each morning […]

April is a big month for Perth foodies. It signals the arrival of the Eat Drink Perth festival. It’s an impressive line up of degustation and progressive dinners, family style events, cooking demonstrations and even a massive and sure to be delicious food truck rumble – definitely something for everyone! To kick off this month long […]

Chik and Kent was a place I’d seen mentioned on Facebook for the past few weeks and as a lover of Indian food I got it in my head that I wanted to try it out. It made it onto my never ending wish list. As chance would have it, good ol‘ Dimmi came to the party with […]

My memories of the Leederville Hotel back in the day (uni days for me) are that it was quite the seedy affair – the ‘seedy Leedy’. A vast venue that was fairly dark, a little dingy, but nonetheless not a bad spot for a dance on their signature sticky floors after a few drinks. I can’t […]

Mt Barker Free Range Chickens are a happy bunch of chooks ‘free to do whatever they like, wherever they please’. Sounds like quite the pleasant and stress free life for a chicken. As soon as these chicks hit three weeks old they are free to roam the farm during the day – scratching in the grass, […]
