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…

Tried & Tested: Jamie Oliver’s Tuna Butter Bean Salad

Regular readers of the blog, or indeed anyone who takes a glance at my ‘Tried & Tested’ section may be aware that one of my favourite chefs is Jamie Oliver. I find his recipes very accessible and they’re among the most used on my book shelf. So before Christmas I got myself an early present…

The Ivy Brasserie, Soho

Living and working in London, it’s so easy to take for granted all of the amazing things this city has to offer. I walk past sights on my daily commute that people travel thousands of miles to come and see and equally there are numerous ‘must-do’ places to visit that I, as a lifelong Londoner…

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…

Grilled Tuna with Aubergine & Freekeh Salad

As tuna of the tinned variety has become so common in our diets we often dismiss it as a bit of a store cupboard staple and forget what a nice piece of fish it really can be. Don’t get me wrong, I always have a supply of tinned tuna in the cupboard but it’s become…

The Saucepot’s Lunchbox: Tuna & Bean Mix

Continuing with the return of The Saucepot’s lunchbox, this week things have gotten a little more fishy. One of the biggest struggles I have is coming up with new ideas for lunches and not getting bored of it by the end of the week. When you’ve bought a load of tortilla wraps, salad and fillers…

Tried & Tested: Sorted Wasabi Tuna & Noodle Salad

If you’ve never come across Sorted before, I highly recommend it for recipe and cooking tips. Sorted started as a group of lads in London posting YouTube recipe videos teaching their audience and initially each other how to cook. Their YouTube channel has now grown into a ‘global food community‘ with hundreds of free recipes available online they’ve also…

Tuna, Feta & Olive Lunchbox

First things first, say hello to my snazzy new lime green lunchbox! Okay, so it’s exactly the same as the last one, it’s just a particularly lairy shade of luminous green. Well we can be certain it won’t get mixed up with anyone else’s lunch at work. On a slightly more serious note though, if…

Inamo, Soho

Sometimes when you’re going out for dinner you don’t just want a good meal to fill your belly, sometimes it’s about trying new things and turning it into an experience. A dining experience is precisely what you get at Inamo.   The Boyfriend and I decided to go Japanese for our date night a few…
