Family Christmas 2012 – Part 2
Jac and I hosted my family’s Christmas lunch this year. We got up bright and early to get ready for the day. 11-year-old Pixel watched suspiciously as I set the table (she’s not a fan of parties) while 1-year-old Truffle inspected everything with great fascination. Both cats fled and hid when everyone began to arrive. […]
Family Christmas 2012 – Part 1
I hope you’ve had a merry Christmas and happy holidays! This year, we got together with Jac’s family the weekend before Christmas with a barbecue lunch at Point Walter, on the Swan River in Bicton. We set up in a shady spot next to the water so Jac and the boys wouldn’t have far to […]
Bistro Guillaume, Crown Perth, Burswood
The baguette is slightly warm, with a craggy, crackly crust. I butter it with a carefree abandon that I’m certain the restaurant’s namesake chef would approve of.

Holy Smoke is located on Brockman Street in a little shopping village called […]
Monty’s Sandwich Shop, Bondi Junction, Sydney
If you’re not a fussy eater, the problem with Monty’s Sandwich Shop is that all the sandwiches sound terrific. They’re made with thick-cut bread, crusty baguette or toasted panini baked in-house daily. There’s a regular sandwich menu and daily specials, all prepared with generosity and pride. The sandwiches are mostly around…
Deco Restaurant, Applecross – our 15-year anniversary lunch
Juggling life, work and blog seems to get harder every year, so pathetic as it is, I’m not surprised that I had all but forgotten about Jac’s and my anniversary this year. Luckily for me, she didn’t forget and made a reservation for us at Deco Restaurant. I’ve been keen to dine at Deco ever […]
