Temper, London

It says on the homepage of Temper’s website: Barbecue, Tacos, Wine, Mezcal, Good Times, and that pretty much sums it up. Temper occupies a corner plot in one of the big new developments on Soho’s Broadwick Street, you’d be forgiven for not really realising it was there as most of the restaurant (and the magic)…

Greek Style Turkey Burgers

It’s summer, which means barbecue season (when it’s not raining) which, in turn, means burgers! Ok, so some of you may be a bit burgered out by now. Just how many quarter pounders can one manage in a single summer?! But just because you’re having burgers every weekend at various barbecue gatherings doesn’t mean you…

Señor Ceviche, Kingly Court

Ceviche and Peruvian cuisine are by no means new to the London food scene. Frith Streets aptly named Ceviche has been stalwart of the Soho food scene for quite some time. However, of late, this cuisine has been getting a little more attention as several more ceviche themed restaurants have popped up across our capital….

Taste of London Winter

It’s Christmas tiiiime… there’s no need to be afraaaaid. It’s Christmas tiiiime, we let in light and we banish shaaaade…  Ooops, sorry I got a bit carried away! Start again. It’s Christmas time in London which means, much to my delight, the return of loads of exciting food fairs and Christmas themed festivals! Woohoo! The…

Jerk(ish) Chicken Kebabs on the BBQ

Whenever we have an impromptu barbecue at my house, which is pretty often, rather than get the same old burgers and sausages out of the freezer I often turn to kebabs. Alongside a good supply of burgers and sausages, we nearly always have chicken breasts in the freezer and with a half decently stocked spice…

Pesto Chicken Kebabs

How weird has the weather been lately?! An early summer one minute and then a sudden drop back into winter. Apparently it will be picking up again this weekend though! Barbecues are VERY popular in my house and the second there’s even a hint of a sunshine or warmth the coals get lit. A few…

Bodean’s BBQ Smoke House, Soho

Bodean’s… Everyone’s favourite barbecue joint. It seemed as if the whole of my office had made it their go-to place for a blow out lunch and for ages I still had not tried it myself. So one rainy evening in Soho, having tried to eat somewhere else, been asked to re order twice because half…

Grilled Kebabs with Vegetable Cous Cous & Salad

This recipe is a great example of how you can make a really great tasty meal, last minute out of stuff you’ve got leftover in the fridge/freezer and from a few store cupboard ingredients. I planned to be out all day on Saturday and didn’t really know when I’d be home or if I’d be…

Piri Piri Chicken

There’s no denying everybody loves a bit of piri piri chicken, but why buy the Nando’s sauces when you can really simply and easily make your own? This is a great dish to do when you’ve got loads of people to feed, it’s perfect for buffets and barbecues. The marinade can be prepared the day…
