It all began when a photograph appeared on Pinterest a few weeks ago: white stucco fronted house, black and white canopy, big shop window, pendant lights, coffee machine. And a name that immediately evokes style, appeal and design: Monocle. I fell in...

I've been a busy bee this weekend, baking loads of cakes and biscuits for Terrone's pop-up coffee shop in Brixton! Photos to come soon... I decided to make simple chunky chocolate chip cookies, because that's one of the things I usually...

I have said it before, my relationship with Dishoom didn't start well when I first visited their Covent Garden restaurant two years ago and I was let down by the service (one waiter in particular). But I gave my feedback to the manager at the time...

I have shared a lot of cake recipes lately, so I thought it was time to make something a little different and out of the ordinary. The Easter holidays gave me time to experiment with an idea I had in my mind! I have always wanted to use Lotus Speculoos...

The restaurant scene in Rome has changed a lot since I left my hometown six years ago. The old traditional restaurants are always a must if you are a tourist visiting Rome for the first time. But if you know the city well, like me, you may want to branch...

Easter is around the corner and, although weather-wise it still feels like Christmas, at least we have an excuse to eat lots of chocolate! I never buy Easter Eggs for myself, as I think they should be given and received as a gift. I am not sure if this...

In my search for the "best places to enjoy good coffee", I have recently stumbled upon a new gem called Embassy East and located at the back end of Hoxton Street, Hackney. It's not easy to please me: you need to show a passion for good...

I wonder why I don't make granola more often! It is so easy to make and so much better than store bought ones. Moreover, you know exactly what goes into the jar and you can choose the best ingredients. And of course: no artificial flavourings, colourings...
