by JENNY D’ANGER I’D died and gone to foodie heaven. But why was everyone speaking Spanish? “Ola!” my taste buds cried, and Newcastle Street slipped back into focus and I realised I was sitting at Pinchos, in Leederville. It’s Spanish for little sticks, and this amazing tapas has them skewering a variety of dishes. Well-priced…

THE OFFICE ON HARROGATE, West Leederville by JENNY D’ANGER HIGH heels and black suits seemed to be de rigueur at The Office on Harrogate, a trendy cafe/bar tucked in an odd corner off Southport and Cambridge Streets, West Leederville. The place had obviously been discovered by the trendy office worker set, but the occasional flouro vest…

A SMASHING good time can be had at Piccolo’s Corner, with both smashed pumpkin and smashed avocado on the menu. This little eatery is tucked away in the leafy suburban streets of West Leederville, and is well worth the effort to find it. Just be respectful if you’re driving, as parking is causing a bit…

I WAS surprised to discover my retired chef mother-in-law had never heard of quinoa, but I guess a Devon village isn’t exactly the centre of the universe for a trendy goosefoot grain. Following lunch at Oxford Yard she’s a convert to the delicious native of the Andes—which on this occasion came in a fantastic salad…

FRINGE was in full swing and my mate and I were off to the Pleasure Gardens, but first we stopped off at Il Padrino to ensure we had the stamina to make the distance. The Italian eatery has been around Northbridge for a while, although it’s moved a time or two just to keep its…

MUST was a haven from the gruelling heat outside, the dim interior drawing us in like polar bears to an ice floe. The bistro lunch menu had a similarly magnetic effect, $80 for two with a choice of two or three courses, and a glass of wine. Generally speaking the Perth Voice’s weekly food review…

by JENNY D’ANGER DINING out before the theatre is fraught: any delay and you run the risk of the torturous embarrassment of mumbled “sorries” as you stand on toes and stagger into laps while shuffling to your seat. But if you eat too early there’s the fight with peak-hour traffic and a lot of hanging…

AFTER 15 years burying and cremating people, Mareena Purslowe-Sear now loves feeding them. Two years ago the woman behind Perth’s ground-breaking all-woman funeral service traded in her trademark white Akubra for a chef’s cap, setting up The Ladder in Mt Hawthorn with long-time friend Rucky Griffiths. The pair and their hard-working team are enjoying their…
