Birthday!
It is this blog’s second birthday today. I can’t quite believe where the time has gone. What was initially a simple excuse for me to instagram pictures of my food has grown into a full scale blog. Thank you to everyone who reads and follows my blog and likes my posts. It makes me so happy to share my love of food with others. Here is a picture of my favourite dessert of recent months to celebrate, a Shortbread Stack with Chantilly Cream and Strawberry Sauce:

Falafel in Pitta
My friend cooked this for me, it was lovely. I’ve never had falafel before, so this was completely new to me, however I will definitely be eating it again. As you can see from the pictures below, the food was quite simply arranged and was great for sharing.

Breaded Calamari
I really like calamari, as you can probably tell. This was taken at a Mexican restaurant and was really lovely, so much so that it even converted my friend, who doesn’t even like calamari. Baja, Bedford

New York New York
A short while ago, I was lucky enough to make a short trip to New York. This was second visit, my first being back in 2006. I’ve been aching to go back so grabbed the opportunity with both hands to go back when I could. And I’m so glad I did. New York had been experiencing some snow showers before we came, however it was clear and dry when we arrived, albeit it very chilly. The first night we got in quite late and the journey and the time difference was affecting us, so we mainly interested in grabbing something to eat. As it happened, the hotel where we were…

Easter in Greece
View of the island of Patmos from the top of the monastery I’ve got quite a few things to write about on here, however seeing as we are currently in the Easter season, I thought I’d blog about those another time and instead today concentrate on the time I spent Easter in Greece, in 2011. This was quite an experience, very far removed from everything I’ve done at Easter in the past. It involved eating a lot of Easter bread (a sweet Greek speciality) and participating in traditions that I’d never come across before. I was raised as a Catholic and am used to observing Easter as a religious festival,…

Four great dishes to try in New York City
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to visit New York. It was my second visit, the first being in 2006 and it was every bit as amazing as I remembered. Chicken and vegetablesThe Oyster Bar, Grand Central Station The Oyster bar is one of the landmarks of the NYC culinary scene. It boasts a fantastic architectural design, common in the era of its construction, 1913. This simple chicken dish was creamy and tasty. Cheeseburger and chipsEamonn’s Bar and Grill, 45th Street Playing into New York’s Irish heritage, Eamonn’s bar offers a cosy atmosphere. This burger was everyone could have wished for and I’m getting hungry thinking about it now.…

Chocolate Torte
My desire to eat healthily was going so well (it really wasn’t) until I ran into this. Needless to say I gave in! The Flying Fox, Woburn

Current Obsessions
I felt like posting a round up of my current addictions. It feels quite narcissistic to do so, but hey, I feel like sharing. So here they are: Latte (especially Vanilla) I’m not usually a big fan of coffee, preferring my beloved tea any day, however I tried a cup of Vanilla Latte at Costa the other day and now can’t stop drinking it. After all, I love everything Vanilla flavoured. I work above a Starbucks so am pretty keen to try it out next time someone in the office gets a round. However I’m conscious of the calories so will try the skinny option, so I can drink more…
