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…
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…
Edinburgh holds a very special place in my heart. I studied there many moons ago and over the years have visited at least twice a year, and always for the Edinburgh Festival in August which I haven’t missed in over 20 years. Each time I visit, I fall in love…
The South side of Glasgow isn’t known for its restaurants. In Glasgow, Finnieston is the area to head for if you want really good food but for South siders, its frustrating that there is not much nearby, with the exception of The Glad Cafe. Fortunately, Black Dove in Shawlands is…
Staying away in a hotel or Inn always feels rather special. Its always great to get away, even if its just for one night, and it offers something you can never really recreate at home…indulgence, relaxation, a comfier bed than your own, people to look after you, no need to…
I have recently left my beloved London and moved to my hometown of Glasgow, Scotland. I was initially rather worried I would miss the sheer volume and variety of restaurants, stalls and markets that I was lucky to be bombarded with in London, but even in my first week, I have eaten some…
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 a fan of Hakkasan, I was delighted to be invited to an 8 course tasting menu at the Hakkasan Group’s latest venture HKK , by Square Meal a couple of weeks ago. Described as ‘bespoke Cantonese fine dining’, this isn’t a place I would normally be able to afford on an average…
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…
Last week my friend Charlotte and I had the most fantastic meal at the new Barrafina on Drury Lane, Covent Garden. We initially tried to get into the Adelaide Street branch but with the wait being over an hour, they directed us to the Drury Lane branch which had a smaller queue,…
Working on Carnaby Street, I feel rather spoiled when it comes to food. I am surrounded by a ridiculous amount of fantastic restaurants which I can get to in a hop, skip and a jump. A couple of minutes walk and I am in the heart of Soho. Lunchtimes are…
Ping Pong is a contemporary Chinese Dim Sum restaurant in London. There are 8 of them dotted across the capital: Soho, Westbourne Grove, Wembley, Southbank, Westfield Stratford, St. Katharine Docks, St Christopher’s Place and St Paul’s. I’m not normally a fan of chains but I do like Ping Pong. More often than…
