Review: The Beach Club at Cottesloe Beach Hotel

Not sure if you've been to the revamped Cottesloe Beach Hotel but let me tell you now... it is absolutely GORGEOUS! A few years back, a younger version of myself used to spend every other Sunday afternoon whiling away the hours in the 'Cott's' infamous beer garden after a terribly trying day of sunning myself on the famous Cottesloe Beach. It was a hard life.

Homemade Pulled Pork & Carnitas Tacos

Welcome to part dos of my Mexican fiesta! I made a huge batch of pulled pork which is a. delicious, b. so freaking easy to make it actually embarrassing and c. so versatile it can be the base of at least four different dishes! I made it quite basic in terms of flavour in keeping with the versatility theme but you can definitely jazz it up to suit your tastes.

Now that I've wised up a little check out these colourful kiddies I made to go with some pulled pork tacos (recipe to be posted later this week) I made yesterday. Clockwise from the top we have Pico De Gallo, Sweetcorn Salsa and Guacamole.
