In a bid to enable my Instagram addiction (if you haven’t already, check out my account here!), Jeff made dinner reservations for two at Tonic & Remedy after googling Instagrammable food in London for our date night last weekend… Continue reading

Review: Dining at Massala Hut, London
Recently I was invited to dine at Massala Hut in London, with the suggestion that I consider writing a blog post if I enjoyed the food and experience. Well, lucky for them I did enjoy the food and the experience, so here is a wee blog post to tell you about it… Continue reading
New in London: Melt Room (It never melt so good…)
One of my favourite things about living in London is that there’s always something new happening, and recently that something new was the opening of Melt Room, a new grilled cheese sandwich shop in Soho. It’s not too far from my office, so on the opening day several of my colleagues and I stopped by on our … Continue reading
Recipe: refreshing mango, kiwi and mint smoothie for spring!
Spring is here, and as the days get longer I’m craving more fruits and veggies! One of my favourite ways to pack these in is to make them into tasty smoothies (you can read more of my recipes here!), which are super easy to make, good for you (according to the NHS a 150ml smoothie can … Continue reading
Smoothies – I’m addicted!
According to the NHS a 150ml smoothie can count as more than one of your 5-a-day if it contains at least 80g of two types of fruit and/or veg and all the the edible pulped fruit or vegetable.

DIY: homemade vegan peanut butter and dark chocolate treats
Recently I stumbled upon a recipe for peanut butter and dark chocolate bark that was just so simple I decided I had to give it a go! Now, I’m not much of a culinary queen, and I definitely don’t love experimenting in the kitchen, but any recipe that involves minimal input for maximum results is cool … Continue reading
Review: Chia Oats and Chia Pods
I am by no means a morning person, but I do make sure that I always eat something for breakfast – and preferably something nutritious to set me up for a (hopefully!) healthy day. Most mornings this means I’m reaching for a combination of oats, muesli, granola, yogurt, omega sprinkle, or fresh fruit – basically anything … Continue reading
National Burger Day 2014
It’s no secret that Jeff and I love eating out and enjoy indulging in good burgers from time to time, so when tickets for the 2nd annual National Burger Day went on sale, we were all over it! So on 27 August we ate light, headed south to Battersea, queued up and ate as many burgers as … Continue reading
Review – Mallow and Marsh
Like many other people, I first heard of Mallow and Marsh from last week’s Dragon Den when founder Harriot Pleydell-Bouverie turned down the Dragons’ offers of financial investment for more of her business than she was willing to share. The Dragons looked surprised, Pleydell-Bouverie didn’t look shaken, and I wanted to know what was so great about these … Continue reading
