I am sure you have all been avidly watching Masterchef over the last few years and salivating over the amazing looking dishes, rooting for the great talent, and wondering when you might be able to sample some of these goodies too! Well this year for the very first time, Masterchef decided to open a pop-up restaurant in London. What a rush… Read more →
If you are looking for somewhere near the Thames to have a stroll and some authentic, delicious Turkish food – look no further than Tas Pide near Southbank. Although this restaurant is part of a chain, it does not feel like it. Hidden in the street next to Shakespeare’s Globe, with cute tables outside and beautifully blooming jasmine that gives… Read more →
Just a 45 minute train journey from London Waterloo, is the beautiful Surrey village of Godalming. Here you will find pretty cobbled streets, a village church which in the summer you will often see covered in bunting and hosting the most quaint English garden weddings, as well as a number of local shops to wander around. One of these lovely establishments,… Read more →

Each year when I have had the great opportunity to visit as a guest of a firm that I work with, the sun has been shining and the English countryside has never looked more radiant. It makes you understand why poets have written about this so passionately. (image courtesy of www.goodwood.co.uk) So what… Read more →
Walking around Soho last weekend with ze German for the first time in ages, I was feeling carefree and like we were dating again.

Watching all the games until the final (Algeria’s madness, France’s blasé style) what a show, I was almost as stressed out as the Germans I was watching with! For the world cup final, we went to… Read more →
July 2014: London town is sizzling and so is Spice Market‘s tasting menu! Having fallen in love with the salmon sashimi on warm crunchy rice with chipotle emulsion at Taste London last month, 816 and I had to come and test out the rest of the menu to see if it could all possibly be equally as delicious as that… Read more →
For the last of my birthday festivities, I took a trip to HKK with Mr Old Fashioned. I have been wanting to go here for quite a while and was sure that it must live up to the original Hakkasan in Hanway Place that I had been to some years ago now. As always, there is the risk that the… Read more →
As my ‘birthday month’ continued, I was lucky enough to have yet another trEat at the newly opened Bilbao Berria in London. Ze German was lovely enough to pick this fantastic new home of the authentic Pintxo (pronounced ‘pincho’) from a shortlist of restaurants I had provided so that he didnt have to stress about where to go (he loves… Read more →
