I first spied photos of CNR Cafe’s vegan offerings when I joined the Perth Social Vegans Meetup Group and I’ve dreamed about visiting them ever since. Last weekend I finally got my wish… It was a Sunday afternoon… People lounged on bean bags in the Northbridge Piazza, soaking up the winter sunshine and the free […] Read more…
How good is Facebook? Oh I know it can be a black hole sometimes (time suckage, anyone?) but for finding information, events and long-lost friends, it’s pretty hard to beat. I had only been to Annalakshmi once before when my long-lost school friend Vish contacted me via Facebook to let me know that she would […] Read more…
Do you dream of a restaurant opening in Perth with a dedicated vegan menu? Well dream no more, my friend. It’s here and it’s enough to tempt this sparkly vegan right out of her food comfort zone. I’ve never been a Japanese food fan. I’ve only ever known sushi as cold, clammy rice rolls sold […] Read more…
I never have been the athletic type. Oh I did dance classes and stuff as a kid, but I classify that more as art than sport. When all the other ten-year old girls were out playing netball or hockey, I was curled up somewhere with a book. Or a series of books, to be exact. […] Read more…
I’ve been meaning to go back to Source Foods ever since they laid this incredible Tempeh Burger on me a few months ago. Check that baby out! I was on my own at the time. Do you know how hard it is to eat a massive burger like this on your own? Oh don’t worry, […] Read more…
mmmmm, burgers… A great burger is pretty hard to beat, but for some reason it’s pretty hard to find an awesome burger these days, right? Well fear not, because I have discovered that Jus Burgers serve up the best vegan burgers on the planet! I know, I know, that’s a huge call, but I’ve […] Read more…
Unless you’ve been living under a cactus, you’ll know that the recent arrival of La Cholita had all of Northbridge buzzing. Mexican tapas-style food and 67 types of Tequila??! Ole!! Word on the street was that they had some pretty smokin’ vegan options on their menu. So in the name of Mexican adventure I donned my best Senorita outfit, rounded […] Read more…
PAWS finally re-opened this week after an extended break over the summer holidays! WHOOHOO!! (Not that I’d been counting down or getting edgy wondering when I was going to get my next Funky Pies fix or anything…) The PAWS crew have been busy over the break – the re-organisation of the store looks […] Read more…
Hidden at the back of the Country Road store on Murray Street is a gorgeous little café, just perfect for a weekday laaaadies lunch. Located conveniently close to work and a firm favourite with my girlfriends and I, we’ve held many girly birthday celebration lunches there over the years. Sometimes we even let our […] Read more…
Ohhh vegan cupcakes, how I love thee… ♥ Now, I may not have enough experience yet to call myself a vegan cupcake expert, but I know what I like. And I know what completely rocks my world. I tried my first vegan cupcake from Kustom Cupcakes this afternoon and oh my holy hot fudge, was […] Read more…
I had previously read about Manna Wholefoods on a few Perth vegan sites, but had no idea what really lay in store for us when Kyllie (my very funny and newly vegan friend) and I went to scope it out last Saturday. WOW, this place is incredible! Part health café, part organic produce store, […] Read more…
Question: How do you get a vegan out of bed early on a Sunday? Answer: Entice them with a photo of sensational vegan pancakes, of course! And sensational they were indeed! I’m so happy to have discovered the Swan Valley Cafe – another veg gem to add to my list of favourite cafes! What better […] Read more…
Hummus + Peanut Butter = genius! Why didn’t I think of this before?!! I first experienced this stroke of brilliance at Fremantle’s Whisper Wine Bar where friends Dom, Jac, Rhiannon and I met for bubbles, giggles and nibbles before enjoying an amazing gig by Paul Dempsey at the Fly By Night Musicians Club. Great weather, […] Read more…
I don’t know about you, but after I’ve spent an amazing night at an incredible concert, singing and dancing under the stars with friends, while the likes of Lior, Paul Dempsey and Sarah Blasko belt out the songs of Tim and Neil Finn, I get the munchies big time! I had stayed the night […] Read more…
