From the train-chair booths to the laid-back tunes, live music and the decor which takes you to inner-city Paris – Swallow Bar has put Maylands on the map for Mr. Spittoon and me. From our first visit over a year ago we just keep going back to this European inspired small bar for that cosy…
There’s always a slight worry when returning to a restaurant which you loved so much the first time that it may not be so good the second time. Mr. Spittoon and I had dinner at Stewarts at Brookleigh in the Upper Swan back in 2013 and loved it! Last week our soon to be new neighbours suggested we…
Over the last couple of months I have been getting super excited. So excited that I’m smiling right now writing this. I am a bonafide geek – I admit it!
I know this post is well overdue seeing as Taste of Perth was last month but time just flies when you’re tasting wine every night right. Haha you all know what I mean! So Taste of Perth. In 2014 I raved about how I boycotted the foodie festival due to long lines and well heck I’m…

Last night I was lucky enough to attend the unveiling of Oakover’s 2015 Whites, Rose and a couple of newly released reds from the cellar. I was a ‘good’ wine blogger on this particular night as I actually made sure I wrote a tasting note for each wine. Typically I get sidetrack by the wine,…
I was lucky enough to bump into Meg, the Perth cupcake goddess of Curvaceous Cupcakes at one of the Guildford Fairs a couple of months ago. Since then I have been absolutely addicted to her Facebook and Instagram feeds. Meg mentioned recently she had a mulled wine recipe and I just knew I had to try…
