We ate at all sorts of places in New York and loads of them were awesome so I wanted to share them with you! You can see some of them in my earlier posts about our first week and second week in New York but I wanted to share a last list of places that we thought were worth…
Read moreThe Food Report: The London Carriage Works
Last week, meeting a very dear friend for a reunion before he jetted off to another far-away country, I went along to The London Carriage Works on Hope Street for a delightful dinner. Whilst this might be a little out of our usual budget for a Monday evening, their ‘Autumn Mondays’ offers two courses for…
Read moreThe Food Report: Plum and Almond Crumble
I’m going to make a very bold claim today. This is the best crumble I’ve ever made: a plum and almond crumble. I picked up a load of beautiful plums from the Farmers’ Market a couple of weeks ago. Wonderful seasonal stone fruit is one of my favourite things and it called for an amazing…
Read moreThe Food Report: Maray Review
Maray opened 3 months ago on Bold Street and ever since I saw their tagline – Falafel x Cocktails – I have been trying to make it there. Finally, an opportunity opened itself up this week and we made it along for a Tuesday night treat! The menu consists of small plates and big platters, all…
Read moreThe Drinks Report: The Curio Canteen Cold Brew Coffee
At Fieldview a couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of trying The Curio Canteen’s Cold Brew Coffee. Whipped up in a kitchen dedicated to honest ingredients and exciting treats, I absolutely loved the flavour, brand and adorable packaging of this coffee. Anything that makes me feel like a school milk monitor is a…

Last week in Bournemouth, we held a mini Nom Nom Club with some new members. To celebrate our proximity to the shores, we create a seafood feast! We ate: sushi and prawn spring rolls, all lovingly wrapped by hand; a fish curry made by Olivia that I still can’t quite get over; a beautiful sea…
Read moreThe Food Report: Peach Recipes
I’ve mentioned before how I struggle to pick favourite dishes but I can always pinpoint my favourite flavours. Almond, peppermint and lemon are all high up on my list, but peaches are really where it’s at right now. Today I’m sharing two peach recipes – a quick and delicious salad and a peach upside-down cake….
Read moreThe WOMAD Report
A few weekends ago I headed to WOMAD. This was my fifth (or sixth?) time heading to Charlton Park, as it’s so close to home and is just our favourite festival to jump around at, and so this Weekly Report is dedicated to its glory! Watching A workshop with Beatbox Collective, the Sunday save the world parade,…
Read moreThe Drinks Report: Phom Tea
This evening I accompanied this beaut of a sunset with a cup of Phom Tea. I was excited to see this tea on Dragon’s Den a few weeks ago (in its previous incarnation as the Teabox Company), as I instantly recognised the boxes from the shops of Liverpool. When I found it in Matta’s I…
Read moreThe Food Report: Nom of Thrones
It was time for another Nom Nom Club this weekend, and in honour of a very special housewarming we visited Exeter via Westeros for a Game of Thrones themed feast. We ate: a beef, mushroom and red wine (two bottles) pie (I can’t emphasise enough how good this was), two slowed cooked pork – one…
