Eating My Way Through London: Dishoom
Inspired by the Irani cafes of Bombay, Dishoom is an Indian restaurant that holds a special place in many Londoners’ hearts. The retro Mumbai ambiance renders the whole experience very evocative. So many people rave about it, that I felt like I was the only person who hadn’t visited. It’s been somewhere I’ve wanted to visit for some time. I wanted to see whether the food was as good as suggested, so was delighted to have the opportunity to try Dishoom’s Kings Cross branch. They don’t take bookings for less than six people after 5.45pm, so we did have to queue. However, it was only half an hour and things…

The prettiest dessert in town
Such a pretty banana split! It would have been rude to say no to it, seeing as it looked so good! Dolce Vita, Luton

Sotto Sotto, Bath
Sotto Sotto is such a popular dinner spot in Bath, you need to be sure to get a reservation in plenty of time, or else risk not getting in at all. The reviews are so good that we were keen to try it whilst in Bath, especially as we were all fans of Italian food. Okay so it had a great vibe- bustling with people and lovely low romantic lighting. I felt like I was going somewhere really high-end upon entering. It’s deep within the vaults of North Parade, so feels very secret and hidden away. I’m obviously here to talk about the food right? Starter was calamari which is…

L’Artista Pizzeria, Watford
A couple of months ago I ended up at L’Artista in Watford after a fun day at the Harry Potter studios in Leavesden. I’m not hugely familiar with Watford but this was a gem of a place with expansive pizzas and a bustling vibe. The pizza was ideal accompanied by a bottle of wine and finished off with ice cream. Could you tell I enjoyed it?

Deliciously devilish brownie
Exactly what the title says- a deliciously, sinful brownie, the perfect way to finish off an evening out.

Foodie Adventures in the Scottish Highlands
I hope your 2022 is off to a good start so far? As well as wanting to be a food blogger, I’ve always fancied being a travel blogger. What could be better than travelling the world, writing about my experiences of eating great food and seeing interesting sights? Travel blogging is not quite an area I’ve cracked yet, but I still enjoy talking about the food I’ve eaten in the places I’ve visited. My trip to the Scottish Highlands last Autumn is perfect for that. Most of my food choices were centered around Inverness as it is the capital of the Highlands. Inverness is full of visitors who want to…

Time for brunch at Josephine’s
Brunch is my favouritest meal (as is breakfast, lunch…dinner). Josephine’s in Nottingham is renowned as a place for afternoon tea but the brunch is worth checking out- I adored the Eggs Royale. The decor is gorgeous as well, with a lush Eastern vibe. You could spend hours there.

Eating My Way Through London: Iznik
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great Christmas with plenty of opportunities for festive eating and drinking! I’ve been a bit out of it due to being afflicted by Covid. However, I’ve decided to get back to blogging by writing about my trip to the Turkish restaurant Iznik a few months back. Iznik is described as being easily accessible from Highbury and Islington station but it’s actually more of a distance than that. This said, it’s worth the trip. It’s gorgeously decorated and makes you feel as if you’re in an Ottoman palace. The environment is warm and cosy, a welcoming smile of a restaurant, perfect for…

Eating my way though London: Nibbles at Drake and Morgan
I visited Drake and Morgan with a friend back in the summer. We were looking for a place to have a catch-up after Covid and felt a bit lost amongst the choice in Kings Cross. Drake and Morgan was one of the few places to have availability, plus the variety on the menu lured us in. Both my friend and I had the chicken burger: The burger was really delicious and the whole ambience was fab! I actually went back to Drake and Morgan a few weeks later with a different friend as we wanted a light bite before a kokedama workshop. We shared the vegetarian platter which was ideal…

Afternoon Tea at Ridgmont Station Tea Rooms
This is a delightful tea room situated in the former Victorian (1846) Ridgmont railway station building’s Ladies Waiting Room. I’ve been here a few times previously in 2019 and think of it as a bit of a hidden gem. With my love of anything vintage and retro, it’s right up my street. I’ve been keen to try their afternoon tea for some time and my recent birthday was the perfect opportunity. I LOVE afternoon tea as you all know, so I really relished being able to try theirs. It’s a good idea to book a few days in advance as their afternoon teas get booked up quickly- we booked a…
