I imagine that everyone who goes to work in the City for 5 days a week gets very bored of their lunches after a while. Pret = Eat = M&S = Tesco = blah, even if some of them try their best. (Although a concerted and honest attempt at authenticity would be very much appreciated …

Hush Brasserie–St Paul’s.
Last year, when I was working in Holborn, I went to the Hush Brasserie there, and enjoyed it very much. Very nice food, decent pricing, efficient and smiling staff plus a nice, relaxed atmosphere. I was hoping, when I saw that a new branch was opening in St Paul’s, for the same and I was …
Ikimiz–Kyrenia, Cyprus
I know this isn’t really fair of me to review a place that hardly anyone will get a chance to go to, but I was so impressed with this restaurant that I had to write about it. I also had to share some of my rather bad photos with you, in the vain hope that …
La Porte des Indes–Masterclass
Warning: picture heavy post! I have a love affair with Indian food. I grew up in a multicultural part of London, and almost all of my friends were Indian, but from very different areas, and so I grew up eating the most wonderful foods. Amazing Gujarati vegetable dishes, zingy Punjabi stews and keema with peas, …
ADA restaurant, Bexhill-on-Sea
There are times when you find a restaurant so nice that you just want to take it home with you. ADA is such a place. We were staying in Bexhill, and just wanted something light to eat one evening so we ventured in to ADA. My mum lives in Turkish Cyprus, and I will admit …
Hush Brasserie, Holborn.
A spur of the moment dinner decision this week, when my friend Liese was visiting from Athens, led us to a very good meal indeed. I work in Holborn, and used to go past French Kitchen every day and think how nice it looked. This is probably more due to a slight girl-crush on Rachel …
A Jersey holiday Competition! And yummy butter!
When is butter not butter? When it’s Jersey Black Butter, that’s when. A few weeks ago, after spotting a Tweet asking if anyone wanted to try Jersey Black Butter (OMGYESPLEASEMEEEE!) I was sent a jar of this lovely stuff. I’ll let Rachael, the lady who sent me the jar, explain it for me. “I’m working …

A Mango Masterclass at Suda Thai, Covent Garden.
My lovely friend Kavey gets invited to a fair few things and, I’m very happy to say, sometimes I get to go along too! Recently we were lucky to be able to attend a Mango Masterclass at Suda Thai, a chic – but not too chi-chi – restaurant in Slingsby Place, just off St Martin’s …

Bread and olive oil, the staff and stuff of life.
A few weeks ago, I was sent some lovely olive oil by the very nice people at Olive Branch. Now it is fair to say that possibly olive oil, not blood, runs in my veins, though any good phlebotomist who has had a fight with my veins may disagree. I love the smell, the taste, …

For Cambridge people who are veggie/have allergies
This is a heads up on where NOT to eat, from a friend of mine who, sadly, did and regretted it. This is a very poor show, and certainly not what Customer Service is meant to be about! Allergies are not something to be laughed at, people don’t have them for fun. Would they have …
