The Beach Club at The Cottesloe Beach Hotel
A multi-million dollar renaissance has been taking place at the iconic Cottesloe Beach Hotel. Established in 1905 and renovated in the 1930s and 40s, the building still retains the art deco character that makes it such a striking beachfront landmark. Some patrons may remember the wilder, rougher days of The Cott, but today, with tighter […]
Nobu, Crown Perth, Burswood
Named after founder and chef proprietor Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, Nobu is world-famous, with 27 restaurants across 21 different cities spanning five continents. It’s also famous for its esteemed co-founder, Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro. We’ve been meaning to dine at Nobu Perth since it opened at the Crown Perth (then still known as Burs…
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. […]
Christmas leftovers
This is the last of my Christmas 2009 posts! :D We ended up with leftover Christmas turkey, ham and prawns. We froze most of the ham but ate all the turkey and prawns over the next couple of days. This was my favourite dish cooked using the leftovers: a Christmas prawns and turkey noodle stir-fry. […]
Penne pasta with garlic prawns and snow peas
I loved this meal! As the penne pasta cooked, we stir-fried prawns and snow peas with garlic and onions (mostly garlic!) in the wok in a little light extra virgin olive oil. Jac served me a big bowl full of penne, prawns and snow peas. I cracked fresh black pepper on top. The garlic smelled […]
Dinner – garlic prawns, bread and salad
This was a fantastic dinner! Garlic prawns, fresh bread and salad. The salad included mixed greens, sugar snap peas, cucumber, grape tomatoes and hard-boiled egg. I added a little freshly cracked black pepper on the egg and tomato. Jac served the bread unbuttered. The garlicky oil would provide plenty of flavour for the bread. You […]
Visitors and prawns
Garlic prawns and sparkling wineOur friends S and D came over with their two kids to see the new house. They had some exciting news of their own – their offer on a house had been accepted. They brought over a bottle of sparkling wine and we drank a toast to both our new houses. […]
Dinner and bento – Italian takeaway
DinnerThis was one of the best takeaway dinners we’ve had! The food came from Italian restaurant Casa del’ Amici (“The Vale Shopping Centre”, Shop 23, 393 Warton Road, Canning Vale). We’ve eaten there previously and really enjoyed it. Some of you may remember my intention to try their arancini and homemade risotto the …
Chilli and garlic prawn salad
Another recent meal – chilli and garlic prawns served on salad. Jac included thinly sliced fresh red chilli in the salad, which was a surprise as well as surprising.* The prawns were satisfyingly bursty, with a pleasurable bite from the chilli – just awesome. I want more prawn salad! :-D *A surprise because it was […]
