Family friendly chili con carne

I constructed this meal one night when I was feeling particularly lazy but still wanted a decent home cooked dinner. It is therefore nice and easy to prepare, easy on the wallet and, since it actually lacks any chili at all, perfect for kids.

It’s naturally gluten-free and you can also omit the yoghurt and cheese for a vegan friendly version.

Not to mention it is super yummy!

Serves 5-6

Ingredients

• 1 cup of uncooked rice
• 500g beef mince
• 1 tin mixed beans
• 2 tins diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tomato
• 1/2 tin corn
• Handful of coriander (optional)
• 1/3 cup red onion
• Corn chips to serve
• Greek yoghurt to serve (omit for vegan meal)
• Grated cheese to serve (optional/omit for vegan meal)

Method

1. Cook 1 cup of rice. ( I use brown rice but any rice will do).
2. Cook beef mince in a fry pan.
3. Once meat is cooked add 2 tins of diced tomatoes and mixed beans. Season with cumin and paprika and mix well. Bring sauce to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile prepare the salsa by combining the corn, red onion (diced), fresh tomato (diced) and coriander in a bowl.
5. To serve place a small portion of rice in a bowl, top with beef mixture then grated cheese if you desire, followed by salsa and a tablespoon of Greek yoghurt. Eat with corn chips.

Healthy cranberry oat biscuits

I’ve been making these delicious chewy biscuits for a coupe of years now. They make the perfect morning or afternoon snack with a cup of tea. The best thing is I don’t feel guilty if I have more than one in a day as they only use a small amount of brown sugar to sweeten them up.

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups wholemeal spelt flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1/4 teaspoon pink salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
• 2 teaspoons cornflour
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries (I generally use a reduced sugar variety)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or vanilla essence

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
2. Combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, bicarb soda and cornflour in a bowl.
3. In a separate bowl mix together the eggs, coconut oil and vanilla extract or essence.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
5. Add the oats and cranberries and stir to combine. You may have to use your hands here to thoroughly mix the ingredients and mold into a dough.
6. Take a portion of the mixture (whatever size you desire your biscuits to be, I usually make them about as big as my palm) and flatten on a baking tray. Continue with the rest of the mix.
7. Bake for 10 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. Remove from oven and allow to cool or eat while still slightly warm.
8. Store in an airtight container or freeze.

The biscuits can easily be modified to include your favourite things. Try adding toasted coconut pieces or drizzling melted chocolate over the top for a less healthy, but extra tasty, treat.

Perth’s most quirky iced drinks

Summer is well and truly upon us and with the unrelenting heat bearing down you’ll want to find a place to cool off. Treat your tastebuds and refresh yourself from the inside out with a cool drink or icey treat from one of Perth’s many delectable eateries.

Walking around the City of Perth I soon discovered just how many wonderful places there are to sample and enjoy.

There are old favourites cafes, cute and quirky nooks and streets of hidden gems.

While the good old-fashioned ice coffees and spearmint milkshakes are readily available when it comes to cool summer treats for 2016 it’s all about the simple cold brew coffees as well as more eccentric flavour varieties.

Max + Sons

Situated in Perth City’s freshest dining precinct Globe Lane, or 140 William Street, Max + Sons is bright little café and the perfect place in this thriving hub to grab a coffee on the go or stay for a chat.

If you’re craving that coffee kick but the stinking hot temperatures have you desperate for an alternative to the toasty beverage then swap your regular cup of joe for a revitalising cold brew.

This cold coffee option is rising in popularity all around the city and Max + Sons provide a great take away or dine in option for $5.

Because cold brew involves steeping coffee grounds in cold water and leaving it to infuse for long periods of time there is some bitterness associated with the flavour of cold brew.

Max + Sons’ cold brew wasn’t overpowering in terms of coffee strength and although there was a little bitter aftertaste it was a mostly smooth and refreshing.

For the tea drinker Max + Sons have their home made iced Yerba Maté tea for $.4.50.

A caffeine free, Brazilian medicinal tea with lovely subtle flavours, the Yerba Maté is easy to drink with light flavours that provide a nice hydrating alternative to water.

In addition, the café sells small glass bottles of their house made juices for $8.

Juices vary each day but there are normally a handful of flavours to choose from including a green juice, summer fruits, watermelon, orange/apple/turmeric and beetroot/apple/ginger.

Location: Shop 23, 140 William Street Perth

Open: Monday-Friday 6.30am-4pm and Saturday 9am-4pm

Willie Wagtail

There were several things that stood out to be about this sweet little place.

The first was the location. I had never before noticed this café sitting opposite Jamie’s Italian on William Street.

With only small signage facing the street, the café sits tucked away with its entrance a little corridor that leads to a courtyard of tables and chairs.

The second thing was the friendliness of the staff who all clearly held such a delightful passion for the job.

They eagerly explained the differences between cold brew and cold drip coffee and gave advice on the best ways to make both.

Thirdly Willie Wagtail’s cold coffee menu is as extensive as your own imagination. By that I mean if you can think something up the staff here are prepared, and excited, to make it happen for you.

On their written menu are iced long blacks, iced chais, iced chocolates and iced teas.

Enticed by the varied menu I sampled a few of their exotic delights including the Ethiopia di Bello, a milk chocolate, strawberry and plum cold drip.

This iced coffee was silky smooth, full of flavour and reminiscent of a liquor. Perfect for those who like striking flavours, it had a much more refined taste than that of a cold brew.

Next was their iced long black of the dark chocolate and date variety. The coffee was quite strong and would be perfect for someone seeking a cool sharp coffee hit.

I also sampled their much lighter cold brew mixed with sparkling water on ice, colourfully named the Willie Tingle.

All cold drips, brews and iced long blacks are $4 for a small or $4.50 for a larger size.

There’s even an assortment of cold drip devices on display to view and purchase to make your own concoctions at home.

Location: 131 William Street

Open: Monday-Friday 6.30am-4pm

Moana Coffee

One of my favourite places to dine, Moana Coffee served up the goods in the iced delights department on a sweltering day.

Tucked away above Hay Street mall, this charming little café is a hidden gem inside the renovated Moana Chambers building.

For the tea drinker Moana has a green sweet treat in the form of iced matcha for $5.50.

The best thing about this milky drink is while it tastes deliciously sweet there is no added sugar. It’s simply the delightful taste of the infused tea.

Their homemade iced orange pekoe tea is a wonderful bargain on a hot day at $2.50.

My personal favourite was the iced London fog ($4.50). Essentially a cold version of a white Earl Grey tea, this drink has beautiful fruity and floral aromatic flavours.

Moana’s cold brew comes served in cute little 200ml glass bottles for $5.50 each.

There is a great selection of flavours to choose from including, Sparkling Lime and Ginger, Almond Milk and Maple and Classic Sparkling Orange.

There is also a larger 500ml bottle of cold brew concentrate available.

I sampled the Sparkling Lime and Ginger and found the addition of the sparkling flavour to give the coffee more of a hydrating feel.

The ginger flavour is what hits you on the first sip, followed by the kick of the coffee in the aftertaste.

It’s handy to know that if you bring the bottle back on your next visit you’ll get a 50 cent discount off your next cold brew.

Location: Upstairs in the Moana Chambers building at 618 Hay Street

Open: Monday-Friday 7am-4pm, Saturday 10am-3pm and Sunday 11am-4pm

Little Angel

For a truly unique iced dessert experience head to Little Angel at the bottom of the Exchange Tower in Perth’s CBD.

The only place in Perth to serve liquid nitrogen affogatos, known as their Nitro Affogatto, Little Angel provides an experience for all the senses.

It takes about five minutes to prepare the dessert and I would highly recommend watching it being made.

It’s exciting to watch as the barista dons gloves and glasses and carefully pours the liquid nitrogen with the gas pouring out everywhere. It looks more like a cool science experiment than food.

As recommended by the staff, and confirmed by my experience, the best way to eat the dessert is to first sample the gelato and then add the coffee to taste.

The pandan and coconut gelato was extremely smooth as a result of the liquid nitrogen and the 5 Senses Coffee was the perfect accompaniment.

It is worth trying each bit separately and then together as it brings out many flavours.

Coming in at $8 each, the price will seem steep if you are only after a coffee, but very reasonable for a coffee and an ice cream.

Currently on their menu, Little Angel have the popular pandan and coconut flavour, along with hot buttered popcorn, and their new cookies and cream flavour.

Location: Ground Floor Exchange Tower, 2 The Esplanade

Open: Monday-Thursday 6.30am-3.30pm and Friday 6.30am-3pm

Babooshka Bar

If there were ever a place in Perth for an elaborate drink, this would be it.

Babooshka Bar rose to fame on the Perth food scene for serving one of the most ostentatious milkshakes (or rather ‘freakshakes’) this city’s ever seen.

A triple-donut, chocolate-coated bacon shake is their signature masterpiece for $20.

For those of us less daring, but still eager for something more than the old vanilla milkshake, they serve up a unique range of gourmet shakes.

Starting at $10 each is the Fruitloop and Marshmallow milkshake and their Golden Gaytime shake and for $15 you can replace a meal with their Pancake, Milo and Maple Syrup shake.

In preparation for sampling the pancake shake I passed on lunch, a move that proved to be wise.

It takes five to ten minutes to make each milkshake, as the place is popular, with several people ordering the donut and bacon delight during my visit.

As a drink and meal all rolled into one I wasn’t sure how to begin on the pancake shake, even the boss admitted that “no-one really knows” how to tackle it.

All I can say is be sure to grab some cutlery and plenty of serviettes, as this is one messy drink.

The ice cream, maple syrup and milo makes for a great combination, and hidden under the pancakes is a stack of whipped cream to top off the milkshake.

The first sip brings with it all the maple syrup drizzled through the straw, giving you a quick sugar hit.

After enjoying this huge treat, clear your schedule because you’re going to want to submerge into the food coma that follows.

Location: Arcade 189, 7/189 William Street

Open: Monday-Friday 7am-3pm and Saturday-Sunday 9am-2pm

Notable Mentions

I am yet to make it to every great iced drink place in the City of Perth, so here are some that I think are still worth a visit.

Henry Saw

From peanut butter smoothies to orange infused cold drips, this little café by Perth’s museum has it all in a charming setting.

Location: 117 Grand Lane, Perth

Open: Monday-Friday 7am-3pm and Saturday 8am-2pm

Open: Monday-Wednesday 7am-3pm, Thursday-Friday 7am-4pm, Saturday 8am-4pm and Sunday 9am-3pm

Utopia Bubble Tea

For the widest selection of iced tea flavours anywhere, you can’t go past Utopia Bubble Tea.

Open: Sunday-Thursday 11.30am-11pm, Friday 11.30am-1am and Saturday 11.30am-2am

Little Creatures’ comfort food

Last weekend I ventured down the long road to Fremantle to take out my newest American friend for dinner. I did a bit of research into places to eat in Freo on a Saturday night, only to discover that most of the places I have been keen on trying are only open for breakfast and lunch, so it looks like I’ll need to venture there more frequently during the daylight hours.

We ended up at Little Creatures Brewery right on the waters edge. This place is large and impressive. I’ve only been here once before a long time ago and had fond memories of the steak sandwich.We found our own seat inside among the ginormous beer kegs and a waitress soon brought us menus. A quick glance down the menu and I realised I was starving, having been on a long ride that day and forgetting to snack between lunch and dinner (that is so unlike me). I was craving carbs so I ordered a woodfired pizza.I had the cured beef, rocket and bocconcini pizza and I devoured the entire thing.The perfect size for one (one hungry little person that is), this woodfired pizza was delicious but possibly on the touch too salty side.  I loved the addition of rosemary and sea salt to the base of the thin pizza. However, with the addition of the cured beef and cheese there was quite a lot of salt going on. Thankfully I needed it that day after my exercise so it was all too easy to put away.

Allison ordered the salmon, which was an impressive chunk of fish. Unfortunately it wasn’t cooked all the way through (probably due to the piece being so thick). She still enjoyed the dish and the fries looked beautifully homemade (some with the skin still on).The payment service at the table was easy and convenient and they kindly let us split bill.

After dinner we enjoyed a pleasant walk along the Cappuccino strip before heading home.

Butter me up, I love brunch

I’m a firm believer that weekends are for brunching, and although it sometimes takes a bite sized piece out of my pay check each week I have no regrets about catch up dates that involve muesli or eggs in one of Perth’s many delightful breakfast spots.

The weekend just gone was spent like many. Saturday morning Lauren and I fitted in a triathlon training swim, a nice slow 1.2km for me that morning as I felt I may have pushed myself right to the edge with exercise during the week.

Then we headed out for that all important post-workout refuel to one of my favourite places in Joondalup Health Freak Cafe (there is one also located in Scarborough).

I love going to a place where I know that I can’t go wrong with anything on the menu because all the meals are packed full of goodness.

On this occasion I opted to try something new and ordered the paleo zucchini bread topped with an avocado and tomato salsa and a poached egg and surrounded by a capsicum sauce. The zucchini bread was quite plain on its own but under the salsa and egg it was delicious and so lovely and moist. I could still happily eat the bread on its own though as I love hearty snacks and don’t mind things lacking in sweetness now that my tastebuds have adjusted to a less sugar filled diet.

I also couldn’t go past my favourite Cookies and Cream smoothie despite the $10 price tag. It’s so great drinking something that tastes amazing and sweet but is so good for you. The smoothie includes a banana, dates, almonds, coconut, chia, cacao nibs and coconut milk. Yum!

On Sunday morning I enjoyed another delicious catch up with a lovely friend at Joondalup’s Gipsy Boy Boutique. This was the third time I’ve been here and the third great experience.

Not only does this place do awesome breakfast but they also offer a great range of designer clothes for sale that are all amazing. Twice I have succumbed to the quality and beauty of their garments and walked away with something, but this time I put on a strong face and walked out with just a satisfied belly.

Yesterday I enjoyed their avocado and vegemite on toast with house beans on the side (I love beans and definitely recommend these).I’ve never had the avocado and vegemite combination before but it was a winner, the saltiness is a great addition to the avo. I also love the rye bread this place does, nice small but thick slices that are perfect for the toppings.

It may be only Monday but i’m already looking forward to new brunches this weekend!

It’s a revolution

A review of Perth’s Restaurant Revolution entry La Linea

We are well and truly living in a food revolution and it’s fiercely competitive. Meals are more elaborate than ever, desserts far more decadent, and restaurant owners are realising that their customers care just as much about their dining environment as what is on their plate.

Reality TV shows such as Masterchef and My Kitchen Rules have fed our desire to see people take food to new heights and from this Tuesday Channel 7’s Restaurant Revolution will hit our screens.

The show sees teams from five of Australia’s capital cities competing to turn their restaurant vision into a reality.

Perth’s entry into the competition is Spanish restaurant La Linea in Leederville run by WA sisters Carmen and Nicole.The restaurant, which opened this week, has been temporarily set up inside a number of large shipping containers. While it’s unusual appearance certainly makes a statement on Oxford Street the inside of the restaurant is lovely and quaint.

La Linea is on the small side for a restaurant and has a cosy and intimate feel. The back wall, on first glance, appears to be brick, but amusingly is just a wallpaper — well played.The decor follows the mantra ‘less is more’ with fake candle light fixtures and a floral wall near the entrance, there’s just enough to create a nice space without going over board.

The largest part of the restaurant has been built using stacked shipping containers, which create a high ceiling and provide a great feeling of space for a small place.La Linea has a tapas style menu and customers may find they need to ask a few questions of their waiter to decipher it.

To start we ordered the Pan con Tumacas (crispy bread, tomato, garlic, olive oil and sea salt) and the Croquetas de Jamon con Queso (jamon and cheese croquettes).The bread was a nice light starter, slightly salty and very well seasoned. The waiter recommended adding the Boquerones (marinated white anchovies) as the saltiness would complete the bread. We didn’t add the anchovies and I feel they may have made the whole meal far too salty.Cheese lovers would scoff down the croquettes, which quickly sold out on the night and have been a popular menu item all week.

The specialty drink on the menu, the House made Horchata, was the perfect accompanying drink to wash down the appetisers. The Horchata is a traditional Spanish almond cinnamon drink made on the premise. A very time consuming drink to make due to the sifting of the almonds and rice, but well worth the effort from the team at La Linea as this definitely took the cake as my most enjoyable part of the night. Gentle on the palette but with a wonderful zing of cinnamon after every sip.From the Carnes (meats) menu the Paella Valenciana (paella with chicken, Baldivis rabbit, saffron, mojo picon) both looked and tasted amazing with its deep orange colour and mildly spicy flavours

We also ordered the Cordero Asado (six hour roasted lamb shoulder, jus, paprika, peppers). The shoulder was an impressively large piece of meat which fell beautifully off the bone. The jus was the perfect accompaniment and balance of flavours. With such reasonably large meat dishes we were feeling quite full, so to finish we shared the Flan de Nata con Frutas (vanilla flan with berries).

For those who like something to finish but without the sickly sweet end of a meal hangover this flan is perfect. Topped with two very sweet pieces of toffeed honeycomb, the flan refreshed the palette with a hint of sugar without the overload I have come to expect from most restaurant desserts.La Linea is open Wednesday to Sunday for lunch (12-4pm) and Wednesday to Saturday for dinner (6-11pm) at 103 Oxford Street Leederville.

Restaurant Revolution airs on Channel 7 Tuesday July 28.

Pappa’s rich in flavour

Thursday night was a bit of an adventure. John and I had tickets to the theatre and I was going to pick him up from work beforehand to go out for dinner.

When i got to my car after work I noticed the back tyre looked a little flat. Sure enough, I had a completely flat tyre so I wasn’t going anywhere in a hurry because I don’t actually remember how to change a car tyre, despite this having happened to me multiple times.

After having placed a call to the RAC, and feeling quite deflated at the thought of waiting up to 40 minutes before someone arrived, I decided to ask a group of guys standing outside on a smoke break. Thankfully, a kind older gentleman volunteered his services, along with another man, and soon we were well on our way to having a working car again.

I don’t know what I should be doing with this.

After that little adventure for the night John and I made it into Northbridge, picked up our tickets, and found ourselves seated inside one of the most charming restaurants the suburb has to offer — Pappa Rich.

John had been here on one occasion before, but this was my first time. I quickly realised that this place was extremely popular — the queue rope barriers outside was a bit of a giveaway. Thankfully there was no queue when we arrived, as we only had a little while before the show started as a result of my car incident.

Pappa Rich has a charming European interior with wood panelling, lamp posts and a sweet green, black and white colour scheme. It is a Malaysian restaurant and features a range of curries, rice and noodle dishes, and more bubble tea and roti variations than I knew existed.Ordering here is almost something of a novelty. Each table has a list of paper to write down your order on and when you’re ready you simply press the doorbell like device on your table and a waiter will come and collect it.

I love this idea for two reasons:

1. When I’m dining out I will so often order something but ask for it to be without cheese or with soy milk or to have something on the side. Why? because I’m lactose intolerant and I suppose just fussy. This way I can make sure the kitchen receives my order correctly without being an unnecessary annoyance to the waiter.

2.  I can take as long as I want to decide what to eat without feeling like I’m constantly sending the waiter away because I haven’t looked at the menu yet or can’t make up my mind.For drinks I ordered a coconut ice drink which looked beautiful simply because of how white it was. It came with bits of coconut flesh and topped with a mint leaf. It was delicious and so refreshing.

John had a mango drink that came with lychees and watermelon balls. It also looked amazing but i found it slightly too sweet.

For dinner I ordered the roti telur with chicken curry while John also ordered the roti telur but with beef rendang. Roti telur is basically roti bread folded over a cooked egg. I had never eaten roti this way and it was delicious, The egg added a wonderful flavour but still kept the roti nice and simple for lapping up the curry.The meals were served with two accompanying sauces. The red sauce (I don’t know what it actually was) was far too hot for either of us and after one taste, and a desperate attempt to soothe my tastebuds with some coconut ice I decided to give that one a miss the rest of the night.

John’s beef had more heat than my chicken curry, which was lovely and mild. We both really enjoyed our meals and although they look small, as it’s only meat and roti (two large pieces), we were very full. If you’ve never been to Pappa Rich and enjoy Asian cuisine then I would highly recommend a visit to this place. The atmosphere is charming, there’s plenty of options on the menu and the food is flavoursome.

Pappa Rich

101 James Street, Northbridge

Open 10.30am- 9-30.pm Sunday to Thursday and until 10.30pm Friday and Saturday.

Whisk it good

A review of Whisk Creamery

Like just about any new place I discover I found out about this little gelato gemstone in Subiaco on Instagram.

While their cronuts are particularly visually enticing, it was the new and quirky that prompted my visit. I was here to sample the mysterious looking black sesame gelato.

Served on a waffle cone the extremely creamy gelato was piped high and looked picture perfect – hence the photo.

I didn’t really know what I expected it to taste like. The only thing I really recognise about sesame seeds is their crunch, but as this was an ice cream I knew I wouldn’t be experiencing that again.

The gelato was sweet but not sickly, the texture was incredibly smooth and the whole ice cream was extremely easy to eat so it didn’t take long to devour mine. It was one of the most refreshing ice cream experiences I think I’ve ever had. Of course Whisk Creamery is also a bit of a whiz when it comes to other desserts. Their cronuts are also quite experimental, served with toppings such as caramel popcorn pieces, fairy floss and lightly burnt marshmallows.

Choosing just one thing to sample on the menu is hard, so taking a friend and trying a couple of things together might be a good idea.

Caramel popcorn cronut

The Cremino

The cronuts are filled with a generous serving of gelato in the middle, dolloped with cream before being drizzled with sauce and topped with another sugary garnish.

Salted caramel cronut

The salted caramel cronut appears to be the most popular cronut on the menu, several customers ordered it in the short time i was visiting.

This place is clearly popular but the staff are efficient. There are only a few tables inside and the atmosphere is quirky and cosy with a giant blackboard taking up one wall.

Their famous gelato is seems to be the biggest seller, with most people taking it on the go as they explore the charming surrounds of Subiaco.  

Whisk Creamery:

151 Rokeby Road, Subiaco, 6008

Open: Monday – Saturday 7am-6pm, Sunday 8am-6pm
