I was very lucky to be invited to a bespoke dining experience at the wonderful Petersham Nurseries recently, to celebrate some of the finest P.D.O. products from the Emilia Romagna in Italy. The invite read… Renowned Head Chef at Petersham Nurseries, Damian Clisby, and Head Chef of Nido del Picchio, Daniele Repetti, have…
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.…
Shoryu Ramen is one of those places I keep walking past thinking ‘I must pop in there one of these days’ and then something crops up or a new place opens and I forget. Then a few weeks ago I found out that a new branch of Shoryu (their sixth) had…
As you may already know, I absolutely adore London. I am pretty much obsessed with it and every single day I feel lucky to be living in this incredible metropolis. I genuinely still get butterflies in my tummy when I walk around it and love that I discover new things…
A few weeks ago I met up with an old friend for dinner in Notting Hill. Now, its been a while since I’ve been in that neck of the woods so she suggested we go to Ukai, a Japanese restaurant on Portobello Road which used to be Bed Bar, an…
I don’t think I’ve seen such a positive and quite frankly, frantic reaction to a restaurant as I have done with Padella in Borough Market, in quite some time. I first heard about this ‘fantastic new pasta restaurant’ in a magazine newsletter featuring the top 5 must-try restaurants opening in…

London is an ever-evolving beast of a city. It moves at 100mph and if you don’t keep up with it, you can easily miss all the new openings around the city. Every week, my inbox is flooded with newsletters filled with news of a new restaurant concept, a must-see pop-up,…
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…
Everyone loves a good hamper, don’t they? And with this being the season of giving, what’s better than the gift of food? Christmas is a time for indulging…forget about the diets, its all about letting go, undoing the top button on your jeans or unzipping your skirt and diving head first into…
