Rambla, Soho

If there’s one type of cuisine I’m guaranteed to always get excited about, it’s tapas. A childhood of sunny Spanish holidays seems to have ingrained it in my blood and if there’s a new tapas popping up somewhere, it’ll shoot straight to the top of my (ever expanding) list of places to try. Such was…

The Trafalgar Dining Rooms

I stumbled upon the Trafalgar Dining Rooms almost a little accidentally when I had theatre tickets for The Grinning Man and needed to grab dinner somewhere nearby before the show. I did a quick search on Open Table trying to find somewhere I could have a nice meal and also be in and out within…

Tried & Tested: Glynn Purnell’s Pollack with Chorizo, Goats Cheese & Butter Beans

I’ve been trying to feature this recipe on the blog for nearly six months now! The Boyfriend cooked it for me on the first night I got home from a month long business trip back in September, but I didn’t write about it then because I thought it was probably cheating if I hadn’t actually…

My Leftover Challenge

If you follow me on Instagram you’ll be aware that last week I set myself a bit of a challenge. Normally I’m the one that travels for work, but this time The Boyfriend was away, so finding myself rattling around at home on my own I decided to set myself a foodie challenge. When he…

Spanish Chorizo & Potato Hash

Sometimes dinners need to come together super quick and require minimum fuss and minimum washing up. One pot dishes are ideal for during the week when time, and probably also your patience, is at a premium. This super quick spanish style potato hash is thrown together in a matter of minutes and packs plenty of…

Clos Maggiore, Covent Garden

Last weekend The Boyfriend and I took a little trip to London’s ‘most romantic restaurant’ (awarded by Harden’s Restaurant Guide) to celebrate his birthday. Considering that I missed the entire event lat year as I was working abroad for a couple of months, I figured this year was my opportunity to make up for it so we…

Simply Cook Recipe Round-Up

Last month I wrote about how I’d been giving Simply Cook’s recipe kit boxes a go and how pleased I was with the first recipe which was one of my favourites: Jerk Chicken. I promised I’d let you know how I got on with the rest of the box. I’ve only made three out of the…

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…

Chorizo & Red Pepper Pasta Bake

This is a great recipe for satisfying a family full of hungry bellies, who doesn’t love cheesy, tomatoey pasta goodness with smokey meaty chunks thrown in. This is a great one for feeding the family as it’s made from a lot of ingredients you would probably usually have in the cupboards/refrigerator anyway. I’ve used chorizo…

Chorizo, Beetroot & Mozzarella Lunchbox

I must admit when I started The Saucepot’s Lunchbox, I didn’t quite realise just how much of a challenge it would be to keep the lunch boxes varied. It started out with a lot of fish and seafood and I often use similar salady ingredients, but I think this week’s is one of my most…
