My first experience of ceviche was only this summer at Tierra peru, a stall at the Campo Viejo Streets of Spain festival and I loved it! Although ceviche has a Spanish heritage, it’s… Continue reading
It was a cold Tuesday evening and Hurricane Gonzalo was causing havoc in old London town, so a visit to Camden didn’t seem like a particularly good idea. But work had been stupidly busy… Continue reading
We’ve been to many a master class – how to make coffee, how to assemble the perfect chocolate bomb, how to make pizza dough, even how to pickle an egg! But this distil… Continue reading
Sometimes only noodles will do, even a cheap packet of instant noodles for me can satisfy an urge that I guess must be down to a comfort thing. As I sat staring at… Continue reading
Restaurateur Russell Norman has said several times ‘In a restaurant, service is as important, if not more so, than food. You can rescue an average food experience with excellent service, but no amount… Continue reading
Before I visited The House of Ho I read a review on 60secondreviews.com which summed up this Vietnamese restaurant as ‘something different. some of it excellent, some of it pricey, some of it…… Continue reading
Much to Ade’s dismay I adore blossom, ahhing at every fluffy flourishing tree that we drive past and clipping off a teeny sprig to put by our bed. I jumped at the chance to… Continue reading

As we sat in Topolski – a new Eastern European pop up members bar/cafe/art gallery in the railway arches near Waterloo station, I wondered if Eastern European food could be the new ‘thing’.… Continue reading
I was slightly sad to see the back of Satsuma – the Japanese restaurant on Wardour Street full of orange futuristic pod-like booths. Not many places have been around for as long as… Continue reading
When we heard the men behind Hawksmoor, Will Beckett and Huw Gott were opening Foxlow – a new ‘neighbourhood’ restaurant, we immediately put it right high up on ‘The List’. The next piece… Continue reading
*SADLY, ASSIETTE ANGLAISE HAS NOW CLOSED* Just a few minutes walk away from the hustle and bustle of Highbury and Islington station and the madness that is Upper Street, is possibly one of… Continue reading
Everyone loves Brighton, right? I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t. As far as we’re concerned, it’s the best seaside town that the UK has to offer, and one with its own… Continue reading
