I was recently a finalist in the ‘Most Dedicated Food Blogger’ category at the Scotsman Food & Drink Awards. I didn’t win, instead the award deservedly went to Foodie Explorers Emma and Mark who are incredibly dedicated in their mission to seek out the best food they can find, then…
When you live in a city, its very easy to become a creature of habit, especially with your eating habits. This is one of the reasons I love writing a food blog…it pushes me to make more of an effort to try new places and new dishes. However, there are…
Its been a while since I blogged on here. Mainly due to lack of time. As well as my full time job, my friend Julija and I have set up a social media and photography agency…Creative Parrot. Two jobs and a heap of personal stuff has left me very little…
On a cold, winters day there is really nothing better than a warm and comforting bowl of perfectly cooked pasta, served with a smile, and luckily for Glaswegians, that is exactly what is on offer at Eusebi Deli in Glasgow’s West End. Situated just off Kelvingrove Park on Gibson Street, it is the…
