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. Ever since I picked up a blender in the Boxing Day sales, I’ve been making fruit and veg smoothies out of … Continue reading
It’s not often that I indulge in fine dining, but back in January I found myself in gorgeous restaurants for three course meals three times in one week – first for our wedding anniversary, then for my mum-in-law’s birthday, and then to try out One Canada Square with blogging buddy Mitra.

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
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
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!

The Dragons looked surprised, Pleydell-Bouverie didn’t look shaken, and I wanted to know what was so great about these … Continue reading
This was my first experience at a Shake Shack, and after all the hype (in the media, from friends, etc.) I was expecting a whole lot more. Specifically, I was expecting burgers so deliciously addictive that I’d dream about them. Instead I left underwhelmed, and I’m not compelled to go back for more. Continue reading
American fave Five Guys opened its first UK location in London on the 4th of July, so at the weekend Jeff and I popped by for some burger goodness! I introduced him to Five Guys when we were in the USA for Thanksgiving, so we were both OTT excited to see how these burgers compared – … Continue reading
Friday evening J and I popped by Taste of London, courtesy of the fab team at Google Local London. We had a great time, checking out the stalls, trying new foods and drinks, bumping into friends at the event, and supporting local businesses. (Seriously: we left there with olives, tea, vodka and a bunch of … Continue reading
This weekend my boyfriend and I popped by London’s Brewing, a brand new festival by the London Brewers Alliance. It was held in The BrewHouse, London Fields Brewery events space in the heart of Hackney. Inside the space was a small courtyard of sorts with three rooms off of it; one with a bar and … Continue reading
