Welcome!
I’m Sloane, and here you’ll find me writing on all the things I love to eat and cook and sometimes drink. I’m known for the best Monday bakes in my work office, I have also freelanced in my spare time for local publishers on the latest bars and restaurants around Perth. I love to travel and explore food and wine and love learning in this space. I am a home cook who is all about nourishing your soul, exploring flavours and I don’t think that calories count on weekends. I look forward to sharing with you my thoughts, recipes and writing. You can also find me on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/crumbs_and_corks/?hl=en
