“..there is no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can’t be improved with pizza.” Daria Morgendorffer I have a nice group of friends at work. We work hard together, often in highly stressful situations. We eat lunch together. We rant, vent and laugh together. On this particular day, we voted for pizza for […]
Ba Ba Black is one of my favourite East Perth cafes for breakfast with friends before work. Ours is a simple formula: good food + good coffee + open at 7am. Since we work close to this part of town, we can meet up, enjoy a hot breakfast and a good catch-up, yet arrive at […]

A couple of years ago at a work Christmas function, I fell in love with chocolate con churros – Spanish-style doughnuts served with melted chocolate for dipping. I’ve been craving chocolate con churros ever since. I’ve been meaning to check out Chocolateria San Churro, fondly known as San Churro, ever since friends told me they [&…
