Get those fedoras ready folks because the Colours of Cuba have arrived at Crown Perth! From now through to September 17th there’s a great range of Cuban dishes featuring at various Crown restaurants, some very snazzy Cuban cocktails at the bars, salsa nights on Wednesdays and plenty of exciting prizes too.  So if you are […]

Seinfeld is such a classic 90’s shows and is one of those series where I’ve seen all the episodes a zillion times and they still make me laugh. I’m actually so pleased there are currently two episodes a night from Monday through Thursday on 7mate. That’s a win right there, plus there are on at […]

As a part of a Seinfeld themed cooking club, my friends and I recently tried making homemade Snickers bars. We worked off an American recipe, so it needed to be tweaked slightly so we could tackle it in Oz. Here is the Aussie’d version. Ingredients: 600g of milk chocolate for coating 50g butter 1/2 cup condensed […]

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 […]

One of my favourite dishes that my dad made for me when I grew up was steak tartare. Usually for a weekend lunch, he’d serve it on super fresh rye bread (sometimes with caraway) with sliced pickle (preferably Poski Olgorkie) and I just loved it. I had never tried to make it myself though. Hard to […]

I went to Sydney for a few days last week for work and it was great. Some really productive meetings, a chance to catch up with a very good friend of mine for dinner at an entirely wonderful Greek restaurant and just generally a nice change of scene from the office. But I was back […]

David Bowie and Freddie Mercury paired up to sing the beautiful duet ‘Under Pressure’… it’s super catchy and epic and it builds beautifully. So in a random link to pressure, talk about the pressure for the crew opening their new venue in the space previously occupied by Jacksons. Oh yes, the space synonymous with a […]

I love Perth. Just love it to bits. I’ve always lived here. It’s a place where we are spoilt with an abundance of sunshine and I feel quite passionate about the amazing local produce that we have available to enjoy each season. In part, that’s why I actually started my blog. It gets you in touch with fellow local […]
