I walked by Featherblade last week and it reminded me of the fantastic meal I had when they first opened. So here’s a rewind to my original review, which is of course glowing. Continue reading
Marrakesh was a culture shock in every sense of the word. It had been on my list to visit for years and finally in August 2015 I booked a week away. Ryanair will fly you there in just a couple of hours and the plane tickets are surprisingly cheap. Okay so I went in a very hot month where it was literally like sitting on the sun with 40 degree heat most days. Maybe that was why my ticket was so cheap. Continue reading
I took a trip to Paris at the end of July this year and pretty much ate and drank my way around the city. A few restaurants I had booked in advance and a few I stumbled upon. Papillon was recommended to me by Nick Munier and I booked myself in for lunch in advance. Continue reading
National Bread Week is running between Sunday October 9th and Saturday October 15th so naturally I have a banana bread recipe to hand to share. You can also find a whole load of bread inspiration over at the National Bread Week website. Continue reading

My pal Sharyn was having a hens night in town and as I’m part of the bridal party (yes we are very progressive these days) I was tasked with finding a brunch spot for myself, herself and her chief bridesmaid Nicola on a Sunday morning. We were staying in the Marker Hotel (fabulous) the night before so of course Charlotte Quay popped into my head. Continue reading
Sometimes for lunch you just want a bowl of soup and some bread. I was sitting at my desk today thinking where is close and serves good food. Medley by Andrew Rudd is only a few minutes walk from my office. I had been before for an event with the Spanish Tourist Board and the food and service was impeccable. It has long been on my list to return to so today was the day. Continue reading
