Introducing Meals in Heels 2.0

Over the last couple of months, I’ve been busy helping Jennifer Joyce, food writer, stylist and a cracking chef with the redesign of her blog, Meals in Heels – an extension of one of her many very cool cookbooks of the same name. I’m not…

Hawksmoor Seven Dials : Protein Horizon.

Hawksmoor has great PR, one of the early champions of blogs, it has since gone on to utilise and charm the medium with great success. Generally speaking, you guys – ie, people who read online food ramblings – love Hawksmoor. And I suppose, as a…

Wikio UK Gastronomy Nov 2010 Preview

Well this is interest, plenty of new names breaking into the top 20 this month, including the brand new entrant Food stuff finds making its debut at top spot..! Refreshing really, some new blogs to trawl through. and it is nice to especially pleasing to…

York & Albany: Dizzy

Whatever reservations I may have about the man and his empire, I respect El Gordo’s achievements above all and can’t help but admire the sheer talent that has passed through his stables. Ramsay’s first class have all but graduated, they now lead their

Mien Tay Shoreditch: Relatively average.

One can do no wrong dining in Phởmile, even though I think it is established that arguably the best London Phở is found outside of it. Arguably. After a fantastic experience at Cafe East, the better half was craving yet more soupy noodles, and so…

Les Deux Salons: French is back in vogue.

Les Deux Salons is into week 3 of operation, as of this visit, and I am glad to say that the kinks from the soft launch, crucially to do with service & speed, have been thoroughly worked out of the system. But thank goodness, this…

Cafe East: Secluded Genius.

It was the first time we rode the ‘new’ overground trains all the way from North to the nether regions of South East London. It’s a whole other world out here, bridges, apartment blocks, round-abouts and eerie silence. Arguably the best pho in town is…

Taiwanese Food Festival…This Sunday!

21/10 UPDATE – There appears to be a youtube video preview for this event here. Now, I don’t usually announce events on my blog, but I went to last year’s version of this food fest through my very Taiwanese extended family, and was totally impressed

Ida: Kensal Love.

Ain’t it just a beauty? I couldn’t help but show you photographs of this lovely little Italian on the corner of Fifth Avenue, toward Kensal Green. Since my move to North London, I have been actively seeking out goodies in the vicinity. And I think…

Mirch Masala: Deflated Karahi.

Well, you can’t knock the restaurants around Whitechapel which serve excellent Punjabi food. Of course, I haven’t been to every single one – and who hasn’t tried Tayyabs and Needoo right? – but I think it is safe to say that most deliver food of…

Arbutus vs Hand & Flowers @AMEX 10-10-10

Amex 10-10-10? Unsurprisingly, that points to the Sunday just gone, and was a special one-day only eating event which took place across 10 restaurants in London. Being that I am a stakeholder (with my belly) heavily invested in the dining scene and all,

X-Burger House : Supersized Brazilian Buns.

The ‘X’ refers to the Brazilian mispronunciation of ‘ch’ in cheeseburger as ‘xis’-burger. So says the exposition on the menu, regarding the derivation of x-burger, of how cheeseburgers are locally referred to, in Brazil. So I heard about this place via a LondonEating
