The food was usually worth the risk and there were usually only a […] Read more…
Once upon a time there was a hungry vegan who caught the train through Claisebrook Station every morning and wondered about the ‘Perth City Farm‘ rumoured and signposted to exist behind the large stone wall.

There are two types of people in this world – those who do things in moderation and those who go overboard. I most definitely find myself in the second category most of the time. When I was in high school I ate vegemite sandwiches for lunch every day for five years and loved it. When […] Read more…

Every time I go to a Farmers Market I wonder why I don’t go every week. Yesterday was the perfect day for it. The sun was shining, the air was fresh, I had a heap of small change and no other plans until Noon. I gathered up my shopping bags and bribed my friend […] Read more…
My Mum’s name is Lorraine. When I was younger I couldn’t understand why people were always naming their egg pies after her. Now that I’m wise and mature (*ahem*), I understand so much more. Like how cool it is that tofu can masquerade as egg! Smart tofu! When my newly vegan friend told me […] Read more…
