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….

Copita, Soho

Mediterranean food has a special place in my heart. Having spent many summers in Spain, eating way too much paella and tapas, I have fallen in love with their laid back, sharing way of eating. I love the social aspect of everyone sitting around a table together, sharing drinks and food and everyone getting to…

Scratch, Mountain View CA

On a recent trip to California I hadn’t planned on doing any restaurant reviews as I didn’t want the blog to start turning into a travel blog, I wanted it to stay all about the food. However, I visited a couple of restaurants where the food was so good, it’d be criminal not to share…

Bistro Union, Abbeville Road

A couple of weeks ago I was well overdue a catch up with my sister having not seen each other since before Christmas! So I drove down to Clapham and stayed the weekend. When she suggested we go out for a meal locally as she lives a short walk away from Abbeville Road (well known…

Ozeri Elite Chef Ceramic Knives

One of the most important things about being a good home cook is making sure that you have the right tools for the job. You wouldn’t try to dice an onion with a butter knife and there’s equally as little point trying to hack through veg with blunt old knives, it won’t do the job…

Cafe Des Amis, Covent Garden

I first visited Café Des Amis about two and a half years ago with a friend, I had a lovely meal, a lovely evening and said I’d definitely come back again. The restaurant is always popping up on Open Table deals and similar and there’s even a couple of offers available on their own website so I…

Camino, Oakland

Having visited Tartine on a recommendation and been thoroughly impressed, my friends and I were given another California restaurant suggestion to try and squeeze into our trip. This time Camino was our destination. Heading up there late on a Sunday we were slightly worried it might be closing up or there’d be no one else in there….

Flames, Dowtown San Jose

I may have mentioned briefly before that breakfast in America is awesome. The options are insane and whilst at home in England we limit breakfast to certain types of food (toast, cereal, eggs, fruit & yoghurt and your classic British fry up ingredients) it would seem that Stateside there is no limit on what sort…

Farmers Union, San Jose

There’s a really great little area in Downtown San Jose that’s absolutely packed with places to eat. From tiny little sushi bars, to Greek to Mexican to classic American diners there’s so much to choose from. One place I ate in a few times was The Farmers Union.  The The Farmers Union has a pretty large dining room…

Coupa Café, Palo Alto

One of the great things I’ve discovered about eating out in America is that they really know how to do a good breakfast. I’m not talking piles of pancakes covered in bacon, ice cream and maple syrup  to start your day off (although you certainly can get that if you want it!) but proper, nice,…
