Back in the day when GG and I first moved in together one of the places we used to visit often was a local Italian restaurant called Siderno Caffe & Ristorante. It’s on Main Street and has been there longer than we’ve been in the neighbourhood (which I realized in March this year will be […]

I really like websites like Bookarestaurant or Dimmi. They are so efficient. They make the whole reservation process a lot easier and swifter in the event you try and book somewhere and you can’t get in, then you have a whole list of other places to could try instead – all about efficiency. An added bonus on […]

Who doesn’t love juice in summer? Fruit is at its luscious prime, there’s an abundance of choice and a good, fresh juice can be so refreshing on a warm Perth day. I recently heard from a lovely Perth lady called Jac who has taken the bold step of starting her own business and is combining […]

I hadn’t been to the Brisbane hotel in ages. And I like the Brisbane. Ever since they did their big fit out, which was a fair few years ago now, it has been a lovely pub to visit. Plenty of seating options, all very open and with the lovely alfresco area with plenty of greenery. Plus on the few […]

Since my first visit to Lido in Northbridge last year I have been a massive fan. Such lovely Vietnamese food, always so fresh and full of flavour! I’m so grateful that on my first visit I was with Mrs M who introduced me to the wonder of Shaking Veal, which I’d say is the best […]

The Stables Bar has probably been open close to a year… I think. Maybe it hasn’t been that long, but it has long been on my list of places I wanted to go and I had just never got around to. Thankfully though I finally made it there last weekend and it was wonderful! It was […]

In 2013 when tasked with cooking for a large group of friends or family at home there was a definite bias towards pulled pork. It’s delicious, it’s wonderful and fills your house with the tantalising and irresistible aroma of pork and herbs and spices for the whole day while it slow cooks in the oven. […]

I do enjoy a good cuppa. I’ll admit in the morning times I crave caffeine and coffee takes the mantle as my beverage of choice but throughout the day it’s the other cuppa that I have by my side. The humble cup of tea. I’ve long preferred a herbal tea over something black and can […]

The Swan Valley is a stunning part of Western Australia and for those who live in Perth, it’s literally right on our door step! An abundance of amazing wineries, brilliant restaurants and cafes, a range of different gourmet producers and also a Golf Resort that has long been part of the Swan Valley landscape. The […]
