having recently moved to Glasgow, i have been spending a lot of my time eating my way around the city, discovering the food scene here. one name that kept creeping up in conversations was bakery47. everyone i met asked me if i’d been yet, so a couple of weekends ago, my friend and…
One of my favourite things to do if I find mysef with any free time over a weekend is watch the utterly marvellous Ina Garten, otherwise known at Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network. I have spoken about my love of her before. Recently, I saw an episode where she…
Jaz & Jul’s in Islington have recently launched a new chocolate-themed weekend brunch at their Chocolate House on Chapel Market, just a few minutes walk from Angel tube station. I LOVE a good brunch, so my friend Kirsty and I popped in to try it out a couple of weekends ago.…
If you don’t already follow the Tasty videos on Buzzfeed, you really should. Every day they produce quick, easy videos of delicious looking meals. I look forward to their videos popping up all over my Facebook newsfeed each day, and find myself becoming mesmerised by these 50 second videos of recipes that look…
I had quite a different eating experience in 2015. After years of stuffing myself with butter, cream, cake, chocolate, crisps, pastry, burgers, cheese, bacon….well, you get the picture, I suddenly felt the need to eat a little ‘better’. As much as I loved my diet of fat, my body didn’t…
So here we are at the end of another year. How does it fly by so quickly? The last 12 months has seen some pretty big food trends taking over our lives and our instagram feeds. From the weird world of spiralising to the wonderful world of bottomless brunches, 2015 has been…
I love French toast and I love pandoro so what could be better than pandoro French toast? I’ll tell you what…nothing! I reserve making French toast for the weekends when I have time to cook and enjoy a leisurely breakfast/brunch. I normally make it using brioche but seeing as its Christmas, I decided to try it…
As you may know, I’m always on the lookout for a good brunch. I recently listed some of my favourite brunch spots, which included the fabulous M1LK in Balham, and last weekend I visited their sister cafe on Clapham Common…Fields. Fields doesn’t necessarily look like a cafe from the outside…
I love breakfast but I often don’t have time for it during the week. I always have a tub of homemade toasted muesli in the office which I like to have with berries and yoghurt, but when the weekend comes around I like to make some effort with my breakfasts.…
Brunch is probably my favourite meal of the week. There is quite simply nothing better than meeting up with friends and enjoying a relaxing meal with no time constraints. No ‘I need to get back to the office’ or ‘I need to run and get the last tube home’…brunch is…
Every year I go away for my birthday. My thought process is pretty much ‘if it doesn’t happen in the UK, it doesn’t happen’. Hence I’m a lot younger than I ‘technically’ am, and that’s just the way I like it! This year I was struggling to come up with…
I love brunch. There really is nothing better at the weekend than hanging out with your friends over good food and a few bloody mary’s/proseccos. My weekend brunches are probably my favourite meals of the week and I love looking for new places to go. Recently, I was rather surprised when…
