AS the dad of Steiner kids, I’m not allowed to have “me time” by sticking them in front of an iPad, and being crafty is obligatory (seriously, I got embroidery homework from my kids’ school). So Sweet Remedy on Oxford Street seemed like a dream come true — I could hang out sipping excellent coffee…

I DON’T believe there is anything quite as divine as listening to someone speak Italian. I could be eavesdropping on a Sicilian mobster discussing where he dumped a body and I’d still have stars in my eyes. It’s not only the language, but the heavenly Italian food that infatuates me. I had heard rumours about a…

THE redevelopment zone surrounding 140 William Street has been the catalyst for a swag of top lunch spots opening in the city. My lunch buddy was a veggo, so we wandered along the street trying to pick an eatery that would keep us both happy, but the first advertisement I saw reawakened my caveman gene.…

I WANT to be a part of it, New York, New York.” There are few cities on earth which have the power to seduce the hearts and minds of people like The Big Apple. I’ve always adored Sinatra’s swan-song hit as it perfectly encapsulates the infatuation people have with the charismatic city and its people. I…

I THINK only the Dockers were feeling bluer and looking more shambolic than me a few weekends ago. We’d just moved house and got a pre-dawn visit from the local robbers while we slept, exhausted. They may have assumed the house had already been ransacked given its state, but took just my wallet and a skateboard,…

GETTING to taste a couple of wines before deciding which one you want? Now that’s service with a very big smile from the staff at No Mafia. My dinner companion and I eventually decided on the Sicilian valdibella kerasos — a deep and full-bodied drop that was smooth as silk. This small bar/eatery in Northbridge…

I HAVE a crushing sense of regret about my time spent in South Korea. I flew to Seoul a few days after my 18th birthday and I remember the chaotic city harried my senses with its neon signs and overpopulation. I was too busy drinking and partying to appreciate the cuisine and ironically it wasn’t until…

SUSHI entered my culinary consciousness when I was about fifteen and in the throes of teenage angst. Everything and everyone seemed mundane and as I searched for creative ways to express my individuality, I found solace at Go Sushi while my friends headed off to gorge on big macs and chicken nuggets. I’m still a…

I’D just finished a photo shoot with someone whose job it is to know North Perth inside-out, so I figured I’d go pre-Millennial and make her my real-life Google: “Point me to the best cafe in town”. Without hesitation she sent me off to The Old Laundry on Angove Street, saying it’s got the nod…

HUNGER, laziness and boredom were the lethal trifecta which compelled me to seek culinary advice from the Google Gods last week. In a last ditch attempt to breathe life into an uneventful Thursday evening, I desperately typed “restaurants near me”. I thought nothing would be able to satiate my ravenous appetite until I laid eyes…
