Chilli Squid & King Prawn Black Spaghetti

I was really excited about cooking this dish, mainly because I LOVE pasta with a passion. I have a little collection of interesting pastas including some rainbow striped pappardelle and a selection of multicoloured farfalle. I also picked up some black squid ink spaghetti at a food market a little while back and have been…

The Dog & Gun, Boreham

Regular readers will know that I usually do London restaurant reviews as I work in central London and am often out and about in town on weekday evenings eating all the yummy food I can get my hands on and trying new restaurants (sharing food or getting together over dinner is, in my opinion, the…

The Fable, Farringdon

When I booked The Fable for mine and The Boyfriend’s anniversary dinner I originally hadn’t planned to blog about it, mainly as it wasn’t so long ago that I visited and blogged about another Drake & Morgan restaurant: The Refinery. However as we had such an enjoyable meal and ate some particularly notable things I felt it deserved a mention….

Bellaria, Fitzrovia

If you’ve been keeping up to date with recent blog posts you’ll know that I’ve recently started a new job and left my beloved Soho behind. Okay, so Fitzrovia is hardly a million miles away, but it means I’ve got a whole load of new restaurants and cafés to explore. Yesterday evening I began doing…

Mussels in a Creamy Bacon & White Wine Sauce

Now I understand that this may not be everyone’s cup of tea. People can be funny about fish and seafood and if you’ve got a shellfish allergy then I guess this is definitely a no go. I used to be one of those people who gets squeamish about seafood but I’ve had a total turn…

Taste of Christmas

On a cold and windy Friday evening, just before December, the Christmas season was approaching and I could be found rushing down to Tobacco Dock for an evening of festive foodie delights. I’ve not been to Taste of Christmas before, although I have been to Tobacco Dock for Feast before, so I was excited to…

Foodies Festival, Hampton Court

It was bank holiday Monday and a rare glorious British summer’s day. As a birthday treat for my Mum, my sister and I were treating her and my Dad to a day out at the Foodies Festival on Hampton Court Green. Given the weather on the days leading up to the bank holiday I was…

Crab Ravioli

This is one from the archives, if you’re a regular reader, or know me well at all, you’ll know that I’m a complete pasta fiend. I can’t get enough of the stuff and would eat it every day if I could. It didn’t take me long, once I’d learned how to make my pasta from…

Bone Daddies Ramen Bar, Soho

One of my favourite things about working in Soho is that I’m spoilt for choice when it comes to great places to eat, granted there’s a fair share of naff places too, but on the most part its a gold mine. My problem is that walking the same streets every day, its so easy to…
