La Peschiera
Posted on September 7, 2017 Leave a Comment
From the first second I stepped out of the car I fell in love with La Peschiera. Seriously though, when it looks like that, how could I not? A hotel and restaurant just outside of Monopoli, it’s truly breathtaking. The restaurant is built on a platform out over the water and is pretty much my […]
Olive Oil Farm

Seeing as we were in Puglia, home to endless olive groves, we decided it was time to pay one a proper visit. We stopped in Masseria Brancati, just outside of Ostuni for a tour and a tasting and were lucky enough to have the place pretty much to ourselves. When even the car park has stunners […]
An afternoon at Tate Britain

You know how sometimes you just have a perfect day? Last Wednesday was like that. The morning was spent attacking the Jimmy Choo sale before a delicious lunch and an amble around Tate Britain all with my lovely mummy. Totally dreamy. Lunch was at the newly renovated Rex Whistler restaurant at Tate Britain, it was tropically […]
Firenze

There’s nothing better than a weekend away with your friends is there? Rather handily, my old friend Alex and his lovely girlfriend Mia live in Florence and agreed to put up with a bunch of us invading for a few days. My friends Harry, Olly and I arrived on Wednesday afternoon at Pisa airport and […]
Lazy Sundays in Berlin

I don’t know about you, but one of my favourite things to do on a Sunday is go for brunch. Long lazy meals, usually followed by a stroll somewhere if the weather’s nice. What could be better than that? With this in mind we headed to Tauro, an enormous restaurant spanning 3 floors in the […]
Berlin’s Saturday Surprise

So, remember how I said we had that crack of dawn flight? Well that didn’t quite go according to plan. Having dragged ourselves out of bed at 4am, checked out and gotten to the airport hiccough free we then boarded the plane and just sat there. And then sat for a bit more, before being […]
Busy busy Berlin bees

After a fair unproductive day on Thursday we needed to get our bums into gear and make the most of Friday, cramming in as much as we could. Our first stop was breakfast at the restaurant Chipps on Jagerstrasse, we needed some fuel to get us going. For me it was tomato, avocado, feta and chilli […]
Super Simple Crepes

Not feeling the American style pancakes? Try these crepes on for size, it’s my absolute fail safe recipe and never disappoints. I’ve given a lemon sauce here to go with them but this recipe is really versatile and it’ll work with any topping or filling, sweet or savoury. It’s the recipe I’ll be using tonight […]
Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

Every year for his birthday breakfast I make Alex blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, it’s his absolute favorite breakfast and such a winner. I normally would always go for a savoury breakfast but I have to say, even I tuck in to these. The addition of the buttermilk just takes the edge of […]
Hallo Aus Berlin
Posted on February 27, 2014 Leave a Comment
Was it just my school that made us watch those bizarre ‘Hallo Aus Berlin’ videos? They’re all I can really remember from my forays into the German language and I can’t say it’s helped me very much I’m afraid. My mum and I flew out to Berlin last Wednesday and I was misunderstood from the moment […]
