Brunch has to be one of life’s simple pleasures. Combine this with exploring a new city and I’m in my happy place. We got a few great food tips when we were in Birmingham recently and didn’t miss the opportunity to visit Medicine on New Street. I love the feel of spaces with history and […]

Stripped Pizza
Open for business If you need a break from the increased levels of cooking at home these last few weeks, Stripped Pizza on Seefeldstrasse is a total winner. The even better thing is that it’s pizza minus the carb guilt! Carb heaven The business was launched in 2014 by three friends and foodies. Inspired by global […]
Shop local
One thing that’s on my mind at the moment is the number of small businesses that are struggling to survive in such unsettled times. Many jobs are in jeopardy and I have friends in Ireland who are temporarily laid-off and others in the UK that may face pay-cuts very soon. A little goes a long […]
Bar No. 23 | The Merrion Hotel Dublin
If you’re in Dublin and looking for somewhere for a cocktail and relax in beautiful surroundings, then look no further than Bar No. 23 at the Merrion Hotel. Along with premium drinks and signature cocktails, you can sit back and enjoy works of art from the Merrion’s private collection which I absolutely loved. For drinks, […]
Brockley Market
I love nothing more than a morning spent at a food market. One of the best things about living in London is the sheer range of choice on offer. Fresh produce, knowledgeable traders and great atmosphere – what more could you want from the start to any weekend? Brockley Market isn’t as well known as […]
Exploring Manchester
I was in Manchester last weekend to watch my first Man United game which was absolutely brilliant! I have to admit, the love of all things red comes from my husband, but I really believe that the passion and interest that someone close to you has for something rubs off! The winning streak and the […]
Duck & Waffle
Serving from sunrise to sunset and 40 floors up, Duck & Waffle in the Heron Tower is an incredible dining experience. We ended up here after a brilliant night out at Koko in Camden, another iconic London night spot that needs a post entirely to itself. The crazy thing about Duck & Waffle is that no matter […]
Salvation in Noodles
Salvation in Noodles on Blackstock Road in Finsbury Park is a great choice for a delicious and affordable meal. I opted for the hot noodle salad called Bun Bo La Lot. I’m so glad I did as it was bursting with flavour. Succulent beef is wrapped in betel leaf and comes with a punch of […]
Ready, set…bake!
So my post is incredibly short tonight as I’m baking a cake for a ‘Bake Off’ event in work tomorrow and in true ‘Faulty Towers’ comedy-esque timing, the light bulb is gone in the kitchen and I can’t seem to find a weighing scales to measure anything properly! It’s also quite late and I’m definitely […]
Great Vegan Food from a London Bus!
I’m not a vegan or even a vegetarian for that matter but if you’re in the Bethnal Green area of London, I know a great place for vegan food. Just Fab is such a nice spot and I loved the idea that the kitchen is in the bottom half of a Double Decker bus. It’s […]
