For anyone who has ever stared blankly inside a packed fridge and felt totally uninspired. For anyone who spends weeknights shuffling zombie-like through the aisles of the supermarket convinced there’s seriously nothing to make for dinner. For anyone who’d rather watch invention tests than feel like they’re competing in one…. Your nightly agony is over. […]
It all started two years ago with a woman in Leeds, UK who had a thing for cake – making it, eating it and talking about it. So she started a club. She rounded up some of her fellow cake lovers, asking everyone to come bearing a cake of a top-secret theme to a top-secret […]
The best cooking classes are the ones that feel like dinner parties. The chef becomes a host whose charm attracts everyone into the kitchen to hear stories, learn culinary secrets and watch otherwise ordinary ingredients get transformed into a feast. That’s exactly what Cooking with Ali classes are like, thanks to Ali Sarhan. This Lebanese-born […]
In Perth, some people visit Bali more often than they get to Fremantle. We’ve all heard it before: ‘Little Creatures is ace. Fremantle though, hey. That’s aages away’.

Fremantle Doctor is the affectionate name given to the southwesterly breeze that springs up nearly every afternoon in Perth. I adore it. Here’s why: It gives me a lovely tailwind when cycling north and makes me feel superfast It keeps the flies away It blows away that nasty cigarette smoke coming from the table next to […]
It certainly doesn’t rain much in Perth. Perhaps that’s why I like it so much, after spending most of my life in soggy Seattle. I must have timed my arrival to Perth perfectly because I’ve been living here 4 months and it’s rained twice. The entire summer has seen a total of .02mm of precipitation. […]
Graffiti. The word evokes lots of mixed emotions. Some think it gives a city personality, while for others it’s defacement. According to Graffiti.org, there are three types of graffiti – vandalism, gang and art. The first two are basically just a way for punks to show that their ugly scrawlings are much more important than […]
