    Going bananas for banana bread

    22 April 2020 /

    The accepted wisdom is that if you haven’t baked banana bread whilst being in lockdown, are you even doing it right? But it’s not surprising that banana bread has been so popular whilst quarantining- it is utterly delicious, the natural sweetness of the fruit lending itself perfectly to baking. I tried out this recipe from BBC Good Food at the weekend. It was moist with a lovely flavour of banana- perfect with a cup of tea. Recipe can be found at BBC Good Food Ingredients Recipe

    Eggless Sponge Cake

    8 April 2020 /

    Being in lockdown presents many challenges, not least attempting to shop for groceries. With online deliveries being hard to come by and a shortage of food on the shelves, a lot of people are finding themselves having to come up with alternatives for cooking and baking. Last weekend I made this yummy eggless vanilla sponge from a recipe I found online. I was low on eggs and was pleased to find a way to bake without using any. This is a great sponge cake without eggs for when you are struggling to find eggs or do not like eggs. Recipe below (courtesy of Mummy’s Home Cooking). I tweaked mine a…

    All you can eat pizza at Crust Bros

    27 March 2020 /

    Even though I can’t actually visit there right now, I’m currently dreaming about these delicious pizzas from Crust Bros in Waterloo. Yes I had both in one go! It’s really hard to post content under the UK lockdown, especially for a food blog that is centred mainly around eating out! It becomes a struggle to avoid being insensitive, whilst also being interesting. Luckily, I have lots of food pics from previous foodie- trips to enjoy. This is also an opportunity for me to try some more home- baking, something I sadly don’t get much to do, because of time. Stay safe everyone xx

    Eating My Way Through London: Kalifornia Kitchen

    23 February 2020 /

    Kalifornia Kitchen is a new (ish) plant-based restaurant in central London. The all-day cafe-cum- restaurant serves a menu of healthy dishes to be eaten in or taken out. It’s motto is “Healthy is sexy” and it is free from animal products and single use plastic. Be warned if you visit Kalifornia Kitchen- everything is pink. Whether this is an attempt to make it more appealing to the Instagram crowd, or to get visitors dreaming of California, it gives the restaurant a fun vibe. Not basic in any way :P. After a recommendation from a colleague, I made a visit with my vegan friend Christina, as we were both keen to…
