When I’m in the city, my first stop is always for coffee. I love our city’s appreciation for good coffee and that there’s so many good brews to choose from. These are my Top 5 Eat Drink Perth coffee spots… # 1 Lowdown Espresso - back in my full-time working days, I would visit Lowdown…

Last week, I was challenged to develop Australia’s best chocolate raspberry brownie in celebration of Nespresso’s limited edition Cioccorosso (intensity 6) variation blend.

I’ve been to Bucket Café three times now and have become absolutely addicted to their quiches. Tucked away in Arcade 800 on Hay Street backing Wolfe Lane, the funky Bucket Café is close to becoming my new default work lunch option 😉 I think I overdid Taka’s Kitchen when I had the teriyaki chicken don three…
I received Nespresso’s strongest blend, Kazaar (intensity level 12 - the usual range has a max intensity of 10) to test out in my new dragon ritual cups this week. If you’ve read my Year of the Dragon Coffee Machine post, you would have gathered I’m a low to mid strength coffee drinker (my favourite Nespresso pods are the cosi & lungo…

I’ve been avoiding Kings Street Café for a good year or so, after a bad experience, where my work colleagues were served ‘off’ scrambled eggs (one of which was pregnant). The milk which was used to make the scrambled eggs was ‘off’ making the eggs a bit ‘cheesy’ and ‘sour’…even though we weren’t charged for…
