Love the 4 for $10 after 3pm at Mary Street. Paul It has got to be Toodyay Bakery. That place is amazing. Kat You may remember me contacting you last year to suggest visiting two new venues in Mandurah – Samudera and Brewvino. Both are excellent venues that I visit often. I was so happy to see Samudera in the last issue and want to put my vote forward, as they are the best bakery hands down. Cheers also for the honey drinks I won. Now you need to write something about Brewvino. Alex
Letterbox Cheers for that Alex. I do remember your letter and you were not wrong about the size of those chicken parmigianas. Thanks for continuing to write to us and we will see if Brewvino may appear in an up-and-coming edition soon. Ed Seagulls Bakery in Safety Bay for sure is the best. I just go there way too much. Their sourdough is amazing and you can’t leave without their almond croissant and a cannoli. Amy First time I have read your great magazine. I was a fine dining chef for over 20 years. Firstly, Sarah Schmitt’s piece on Seven Sins restaurant was a great read which spoke of all things German, including the chef and owner Seb’s passion for food. Then I went there looking for German dishes but was left sorely wanting. His choice I guess. Secondly, the kombucha article. Again great, and as a devoted kombucha brewer would like to share, that by putting six or so sultanas or raisins in with the second brew, you get all the fizz you can ask for. Is it possible to subscribe or is it an Industry only publication? We are soon to open our B&B here in Wickepin. John Thanks for the feedback John. The magazine is available at newsagents and Independent Supermarkets until they sell out. Failing that you can subscribe online here: www.isubscribe.com.au/menu-magazinesubscription.cfm Keep us posted as to when you open. Ed

Massive thanks to Menu Magazine and VCM Coffee Machines for my new coffee machine. I have always wanted a machine in my office and now I have one. The coffee tastes great and we really love the unique flavours that I can get with this. Peter No worries. We like to hear how the winners of our prizes are going. We also heard back from Daniel and Kelly who won our BeeFirm packs too. Go to page 21 to enter the competitions for this issue and good luck. Ed Thank you for your lovely send-off for Frances in the last issue. She was an amazing person and I loved reading her contributions in Menu Magazine. Shelly Love following your competitions online. We’re always busy taking down ideas for morning tea. The Staff at STA Print Hey I just want to do a shout-out to Westfield Karrinyup Shopping Centre. I went to check it out now it is all opened up, and I am impressed. The space is really nicely used and the area where the restaurants are is just great. It has a fun, relaxed family-friendly vibe. I don’t mind the shopping either. And while it is enormous, it only took getting lost a few times before I found my bearings and could easily navigate my way around. Amy Good call Amy. We have featured two of the new venues in this issue. Make sure you visit Graze & Tipple for their amazing cheese and Good Company for their share plates. Ed
