19/6/14 post update - Winners of my Café 26 Salad Dressing competition are Sam Greenwald, Simon and Sharon Fawcett. Thank you everyone for providing me with awesome post ideas for foodie cravings and my newsletter.
To celebrate WA Day I have Cafe 26’s salad dressings & marinade packs to giveaway to 3 foodie cravings readers (each pack contains three 250ml sample bottles). Cafe 26 is a family business based in Perth, for those of you who remember these guys initially started out in 1999 with a small cafe in Subiaco.
Cafe 26 product range: Caesar salad dressing, Oriental salad dressing, BBQ rib marinade, Smokey BBQ Rib marinade, Tangy salad dressing and my fav Original salad dressing
To WIN 1 of 3 Cafe 26 packs simply tell me what you’d like to see featured in my newsletter foodie cravings musings by 18/6, this is yesterday’s musings:
foodie cravings musings has always been linked to my RSS feed to ensure you are the first to know about new foodie cravings blog posts. I’d love to know what else you’d like to see!
Mine and burger boy’s mum have been using Cafe 26’s Original salad dressing since we were kids. I never really paid much attention to where these dressings were produced, as a kid all that mattered was that they tasted great.
It was only my recent involvement with Taste Great Southern Food & Wine Festival and Buy West Eat Best’s WA Signature Dish competition that I gained a real appreciation for Western Australia’s amazing food and produce.
The other night I whipped up a quick salad to go with the BBQ burger boy cooked up and I must say I still love the Original salad dressing which has a seeded mustard base and a small amount of olive oil…
I also marinated pork spare ribs using Cafe 26’s BBQ marinade, it was super quick and a nice supper after work with a side of steamed rice.
Cafe 26’s salad dressing and marinade range can be found mainly in Western Australia at independently owned super markets including IGA, individual green grocers, cafes and gourmet butchers. They are also available in some retailers in South Australia and online via their website.

burger boy is pretty happy with your comment Simon
he’d be very happy to contribute!
I’d like to see some pictures! You always take lovely appetizing pictures so maybe a few of them with links to the blog post. Yum! Xx
This is on my priority to do list
More desserts and sweets so that I can drool all over my keyboard.
haha I can’t seem to resist desserts - it’s no wonder my junior burger is so active!
A list of the best brunch places in Perth!
That I can do Karina! Seem to be eating a lot of brunch of late
Please DON’T pump the newsletter full of images … I love the fact that your newsletters aren’t image heavy and don’t take an age to load. 😀
I guess the ‘more blog posts’ could be improved by changing them to ‘you might also like’ type of posts. However, I realise that that might be difficult to implement for the email & also might direct readers to older content which you might not want to do.

Thanks Alex, very thorough feedback and exactly what I was after. I think the “you might also like type post” could be a manual section of the newsletter that I could do every so often.
I’d love to see cheap eats for someone who eats lunch out everyday!!!
Easy done - adding this to the list Cynthia
I’d love to see some top dishes from Perth restaurants recreated so we can all follow the recipe and serve them at home. I’m from Melbourne so it would be refreshing to be able to indulge the senses rather than just look at the photos!
hehe sorry to tease you with the photos Rachel!
More about all-you-can-eat buffets
I’m not huge on buffets but the family are Melissa so I’ll keep that in mind that you’re interested in reading about buffets
my first buffet review went up today
I’m looking forward to your buffet review. I tried my local buffet, but left with disappointment. If WA has great buffet, I will travel there with my family to give it a go when we’re on holiday
It could be fun to do some blind tastings. Invite friends over. Order take-away from more than one venue and have a taste-off
This may be too specific, but I’d love to see comparisons like the top five places for chocolate mousse or sushi or burgers or a really good rare steak.
Thanks Merryl, comparisons across my Top 5 Perth eats by cuisine or eats is an awesome blog post. Thinking might be something I can work on when my junior burger is out & about and more time is spent at home than eating out.
I’d like to see some pictures! You always take lovely appetizing pictures so maybe a few of them with links to the blog post. Yum! Xx
Cheers Sam, will add this to my to do list
have always wanted to feature a couple of photos but could never get it to work automatically in MailChimp
I would love to see gourmet recipes that can be easily done at home. Or I would love to see more delicious but affordable cafes in Sydney.
Thanks Marika, when junior burger is out and about I’ll def consider featuring some recipes. Sydney cafes might be a bit difficult for me though being based in Perth.
Maybe some content about which places to avoid in Perth and better alternatives. There are plenty of overpriced, overhyped places.
I would like to see more food and drink pairings and what fresh fruit and vegetables are in season for the best meal selections.
Match up 3 course meal ideas-I know its been done by others by I believe ideas here would be original and more to the average person’s (that’s me
) liking
New and interesting products from Australia.
Wacky ice cream flavours! As much as I love chocolate, sometimes flavours such as caramel pop-corn or carrot cake sounds fun!
I have 2 ideas. Hidden gem vegetarian restaurants.
And one thing I love / mouth waters - hot, spicy tomato chutneys / relishes. Yum, which is best?
I’d like to see a post about Perth for tourists. What places are must-visit, the best restaurants, cafes, etc for people who are travelling over to Perth.
Dianne Childs recently posted..First Haul from the Official US Benefit Store!
Recipes from some of each city’s most loved food trucks - it’s a trend that is so scrumptious and fun!
My sister in law is vegetarian and we’re always on the look out for great vego restaurants or at least places that have a really good selection of veg options that we can take her out to. So I’d love to see a list of places that cover that!
I’d love to see a blog about the best places to eat spicy food - whether that’s a pho, something Mexican or a really delicious curry - Sure this blog would be popular!
