Cauliflower soup with cheesy toasts
Posted on April 27, 2020 Leave a Comment
If you love a cauliflower cheese, this soup will be right up your alley, all of the deliciousness but with a lot less hassle and a little less guilt. The cumin brings a little warmth and the cheese and spring onion toasts add a little decadence to what is otherwise a rather virtuous soup. The […]
Shoreditch Staycation
Posted on February 28, 2018 Leave a Comment
Sometimes you don’t need to go away to get away, sometimes a little staycation is just the ticket. A couple of weeks ago my friend Sophie and I did just that, taking ourselves off to Shoreditch for a weekend of R&R. We kicked things off with lunch at Som Saa, a cracking little Thai place […]
Windsurfing in Alaçati
Posted on February 21, 2018 Leave a Comment
When my mum was in her 20’s she was a windsurfing instructor in the south of France so I’ve always thought it’s fairly ridiculous that I’ve never really tried it. With this in mind and once we learnt that Alaçati was one of the best places in the world for windsurfing, we had to give […]
Izmir Bazaar
Posted on February 16, 2018 Leave a Comment
We’d known that in late October the weather wouldn’t be boiling and we wouldn’t be spending all our days lazing in the sun so after a quick coffee down by the water we hopped in the car and headed to Izmir, Turkey’s third largest city and home to a bustling market. What we hadn’t quite […]
Alaçati

Apparently this is the time of year when most people plan their summer holidays, the cold, dark days making us long for the long lazy days of summer (myself very much included). With that in mind, I have somewhere to share with you if you’re in need of some inspiration. At the end of October […]

Tucked down a side street just off High St Kensington lies the best little sushi place you’ve probably never heard of. The place in question? Yashin Sushi. Sleek and sophisticated, it’s a great spot for a date.Grab yourself a seat at the counter so you can see all the action and dive into the menu.Order yourself […]
Salty Seadogs

After our leisurely lunch in the sun we decided we were probably up for something a little more active so we headed for the water. We met Sara’s brother Rupert at their boat and hot footed it over to the Isle of Wight. Never one to miss out on the action, we obviously brought Mr […]
Limewood

I am of the opinion that country weekends are the best weekends. Throw in best friends and some bubbles? Well then you’re really on to a winner. As a teenager I was always desperate to get to London, fleeing the countryside at every opportunity for the bright lights of the big smoke. Things are a […]
Franzina Trattoria

If you’re living in London you’ve probably heard all about Padella, the hot young thing on the pasta scene. However, you may not have heard of Franzina Trattoria, which, in my opinion, is better. Tucked away inside an old shipping container on the top level of POP Brixton it would be easy to miss, but god, […]
Dublin Sunday

We woke up feeling a little less perky than we had done the morning before but luckily the weather was on our side, meaning an alfresco brunch was on the cards. Also just around the corner from our hotel was L’Gueuleton, the quaintest little French restaurant. We grabbed a table outside and immediately ordered pots […]
