Journey the World From Your Living Room

The recent news of easing of lockdown restrictions has been welcomed with open arms! But we are still a while away from jet setting across the globe. So until that happens, here are some ways restaurants and ‘dark kitchens’ are bringing the world to our living rooms – through food. Since Covid clipped my travel…

Pasta Remoli Home Delivery – A Taste Test

Most of us are familiar with the impact that Coronavirus has had on the UK hospitality industry, amongst other industries. Restaurants have been forced to shut down and staff furloughed to help protect their jobs in the long run. In the wake of the crisis, many restaurants have also had to adapt and reinvent their…

Ikea Style Meatballs Fakeaway

Recently, I had serious cravings for Ikea-style meatballs during lockdown (of all things one could crave for!). So when the retail giant released their recipe, I had to create my own version. Sadly, I didn’t have all the ingredients so I had to adapt it slightly.  FOR THE MEATBALLS I used a delicious pork mince from…

Savoury Muffins at home

For those who know me, I don’t have a massive sweet tooth, which is why these savoury muffins are a big hit with me. They are great as a snack, gently warmed and buttered. They also make for great accompaniments with homemade soups or eggy brunches. Here, we are making courgette and chilli savoury muffins…

London Restaurants Review : Pastaio

Pastaio has been on my list of London restaurants to visit for quite some time. The more informal and breezy spot from acclaimed British chef, restaurateur and food writer Stevie Parle’s portfolio of London restaurants, it sits in the midst of tourist haven Carnaby Soho (very near my other favourite seafood restaurant Claw) and specialises…

London Supper Clubs – A Vegan Ayurvedic Supperclub

I was recently invited to an Indian Vegan supperclub co-hosted by Chef Saurav Nath (formerly of Michelin-starred Benares and Gymkhana) and Humayun Hussain (Co-creator, host and Food and Hospitality Consultant). You may recall the last time I attended a supperclub by this dynamic duo, back in Christmas 2018. Back then, I was impressed by the delicious food which was professionally…

London Supper Club Experience – Makan Malaysia

Malaysia is one of those countries that I came very close to visiting but never quite made it to. My brother studied in Malaysia for several years, but me, being a broke graduate back then, never got around to planning a trip to visit him (a decision I regret profoundly). I have also never tried…

A Homage to the Sunday Roast – Part 1

Kris and I are both big fans of the humble Sunday Roast. Nothing says bountiful meal and a Sunday well spent better than sitting down for a sumptuous roast with all the trimmings and lashings of gravy till you have reached food coma. I particularly enjoy my fat slabs of meat and glorious Yorkshire puds,…

London Restaurant Reviews : Gamma Gamma Soho

Disclaimer: I was invited to review the below venue and our meal was complimentary but all opinions and photos are mine.  When Gamma Gamma Soho first entered our Instagram lives, I was quite impressed with the look and feel of this place. Taking over a site formerly occupied by Bó Drake, this newly opened restaurant…

London Restaurant Reviews : Casse Croûte

Do you believe in love at first sight? I believe that with Casse Croûte it was. I can’t remember where I read or heard about this place, but walking down Bermondsey Street on our way to another fabulous restaurant (Flour and Grape, if you must know), I happened to stumble upon this cozy and characterful…

London Restaurant Reviews : Buns and Buns

Disclaimer: I was invited to review the below venue and our meal was complimentary but all opinions and photos are mine.  Buns and Buns had been popping into my Instagram radar fairly regularly so my curiosity was well piqued about this new London opening. An invite from their Marketing team to review the food seemed…
