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 […]

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 94,000 times in 2014. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 4 days for that many people to see […]

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 […]

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 […]

Oz Harvest WA officially launched in Perth recently, which is an exciting announcement albeit somewhat tinged with sadness. Sad in the sense that Perth still has people less fortunate that definitely need the helping hand that Oz Harvest will provide. OzHarvest is the first perishable food rescue organisation in Australia collecting quality excess food from commercial […]

How fortuitous can timing get? Moving office to Brookfield Place and then being asked to be a Brookfield Place Cafe Court Ambassador! Like I needed more of a reason to visit my new local cafe court! Actually I just love the fact that my new office is located so close to a cafe court and in this program I […]
