IT is wonderful to see how the hospitality industry has simply got on with it over the past year or so. They say that humans thrive under adversity and I have seen a lot of that. People are seeing opportunity and making the most of it, or at least changing with the times. Menu Magazine has also done this – changing the way we see and do things and I am proud of what we have achieved so far. We started as an on-line publication in October 2000 before putting out our first magazine in 2006. This is our 30th issue and I hope you enjoy it as much as we have putting it together.

One of the very first places I visited when the magazine started was Beethoven Restaurant in Applecross. It opened at the same time as we started and I am so happy to still be friends with the family today. My wife and I even attended owner and operator Helga’s wedding and we named our son after chef Sebastian. What makes this story so special to me is that Sebastian’s new restaurant is featured on the cover of this issue. Seven Sins Perth Hills is one of many fantastic places we visited during this issue and I hope you can take the time to visit them all. For this issue Ali from Roasting Warehouse South Fremantle suggested that we do a feature on how to source green coffee beans, and our designer introduced us to a fantastic school initiative to train young baristas. Jeremy took us into the world of dessert beers. I even tried Mash’s Lemon Lime Cheesecake beer with a scoop of ice-cream. It wasn’t too bad either - having a traditional bitter aftertaste that most beers should have. Jeremy also took a look at another new trend in hybrid drinks.
The Good Grocer Collection The best of local and imported products, sourced from small boutique producers. We can cater for your next function with a selection of delicious platters. Ask our team about our catering options.
I thought it was time I started booking a table before I eat out, and why everyone should be doing the same. Sarah writes on the reforms of the distilling industry in WA and we break out into a heavily focused health issue with features on Kakadu plum, kombucha and soy. Our seasoned travel writer Carmen has been restricted to local travel for a while now so she has considered the great advantages of the now-popular staycation. I do love staying in a capital city but find it crazy that I have not stayed in my own.

I also had the opportunity to talk to Adam Liaw about his journey from lawyer to Master Chef and then to TV personality. Keep writing to us. We love to hear your stories and ideas. If you see me when I am out and about, make sure you say hi and maybe we can have a drink together. Enjoy.
