Auction Against Hunger 2015

If you’ve been following along, you would have realised by now that I love food; if you’re new then perhaps the name of this blog gave me away? I like to consume food and consume a lot of it I do. With...

Ceru, London Riviera

“There’s a restaurant that serves levitating cuisine? What does that even mean? Does the food float around? That’s going to be a bit ridiculous to eat…but maybe we could give it a go, I wonder how I...

The Pickled Fork Popup, Earlsfield

Since we’ve been living in London, I’ve lost count of the number of times people have asked me what part of Australia I’m from. On most occasions I play the offended Kiwi, chastising them for daring to...

The Selkirk Supper Club, Tooting

My drinking habits have certainly changed over the years. Back when I was a bright, young thing recently let (legally) loose on the town, my drink of choice was vodka. That blissfully tasteless spirit...

Restaurant Story, Bermondsey

I talk a lot. I love a good natter, can spin several yarns, have been known to embellish a little, digress a lot… basically I love telling stories. If you’ve been following along you might have guessed...

Taste of London 2015

Another year, another five days of London’s foodies flocking to Regent’s Park to overindulge in their favourite past-time of wining and dining. Naturally, we were right at home at Taste of London. And...

An Evening with Jay Rayner & Camino, King’s Cross

Anyone who tells you they don’t like reading scathing restaurant reviews is a goody-two-shoes or a liar, and let’s be honest, no one likes either. I, along with most of the review-reading population,...

London Produce Show Media Masterclass & School of Wok’s Stir Fried Sichuan...

The prospect of weaving up and down aisles filled with stalls exhibiting new or unique produce might not excite the mass population, but boy does it tickle my fancy. I love, I mean love, going to the...

Canvas, Chelsea

Every couple of weeks, a certain someone likes to remind me he’s just a working class man, a man of the people… a man with a humble upbringing… you get the drift. He usually launches into this spiel...

Basement Sate, Soho

I would class myself as a bit of a slap-dash, taste and tweak as you go kind of cook. My parents are exceptionally good cooks so I guess I picked up basic skills by diffusion as I never made a meal...

Obica, Soho & Luxardo Cocktails, New Season Feast

It dawned on me the other day that I am an avid consumer of tomatoes. In our house they’re a salad staple (a certain someone even made a multi-coloured tomato-only salad the other day), I obsessively...

Cocktail Masterclass at Mint Leaf, Haymarket

Once upon a time I was a fresh faced seventeen year old pondering what on earth I was going to do for the rest of my life. The grown ups will tell you that ‘the world is your oyster’ but in the very...

Pulia, London Bridge

If you’ve had the pleasure (modest much?) of talking to me in the last month, you would have also had the misfortune of hearing me whinge about being stuck. Stuck in London while everyone else seems to...

Hibiscus, Mayfair

On a wet Wednesday night in 2012, I went on a date with a very nice man who took me to a very nice restaurant. We ate more than we needed to, drank more than we should have, and laughed so much more...

Seafood Feasts: The Stalwart or The Newcomer

If you share the cooking duties with a flatmate who vehemently dislikes seafood, you seize any opportunity within reach to enjoy all things delicious from the sea. Trust me, I’ve been there. When I...

SuperStar BBQ, Holborn

“Oh sure, we’ll definitely be getting a barbeque!” That’s what we said at the start of last summer when quizzed endlessly about it by our charred-meat deprived friends. Why? Because as all stereotypes...

A couple of weeks ago when I told a certain someone we were headed to Shepherd’s Bush for dinner on Friday night, he casually replied ‘oh cool, somewhere you’ve never really been before…’ while humming...

Shaun Presland at Carousel, Marylebone

Those silly relationship self help books will say it’s unhealthy to be jealous of your partner but I can’t help it, certain things make me very jealous of a certain someone. We all have our crosses to...

Unwined in Tooting

I’ve noticed that many Londoners, both native and new, can be quite picky with their postcodes. North, south, east or west, no one seems shy about sharing why they think their part of this city is the...

Counter, Vauxhall

Has anyone else noticed that restaurants around major train stations are usually duds? My completely unoriginal theory is that the guaranteed high footfall drives the rents up and only the big bad...
