Last month I finally got around to trying the new-ish (it opened on the 30th November) Patty & Bun. After serving London's best burgers at markets and pop-ups, P&B found a permanent home and is now established as one of the best burger joints in...

Have you ever had a hangover with tequila? I have heard stories of friends getting drunk on tequila, then waking up the next day with no recollection of what had happened (the experience, putting them off tequila for good). While none of this has happened...

I have already written about the ramen trend in my review of Bone Daddies and how I found tonkotsu in London quite different from the one I tasted in Japan. I enjoyed it, but I wasn't won over. My friends liked Shoryu, so when a new pop-up opened...

At the end of January I spent a weekend in Rome visiting family and friends. My best friend Giovanna took me out for lunch in a new restaurant in the Trastevere, called Fish Market. We arrived at noon on a Saturday; early for Roman standards, where it...

I have never been much of a macarons lover: they are small and expensive luxury treats. They never satisfy my sugar-cravings! But it is undeniable that they make the prettiest desserts: smooth, colourful, sophisticated and French! How can we not love...
