I have been a fan of Sticks 'n' Sushi ever since eating in their Wimbledon restaurant with Charlotte Hu back in March 2012, just after they launched in the UK. I never blogged about that first visit, but Charlotte did, so have a look at this review on...

This week's review is of Hoi Polloi at the Ace Hotel London, a "modernist brasserie", as described by Grace Dent on ES Magazine, that "resembles a large 1970s, Art Deco-influenced school canteen". Created by the team behind Bistrotheque and Shrimpy's,...

I have shared a lot of cake recipes lately, so I thought it was time to make something a little different and out of the ordinary. The Easter holidays gave me time to experiment with an idea I had in my mind! I have always wanted to use Lotus Speculoos...

After Hours is an itinerant dessert-only pop-up event which takes place monthly in London. A couple of weeks ago I was invited by a friend to try the tasting menu at Ozone Coffee Roasters in Shoreditch. At After Hours we champion modern and innovative...

Growing older, I discovered that the best way to celebrate my birthday is to get away and spend a few days in a different place. I generally worry too much and birthdays have always been a source of stress, as they require so many decisions: how to celebrate,...

Finally I am writing about my last day in Copenhagen, the beautiful Danish capital that I visited last month and fell in love with! Having seen all the touristic highlights on the first two days (read about them in my Copenhagen Day 1 and 2 posts), we...

I have written about my love affair with Leeds before, a love that started years ago when my then boyfriend (now husband) moved there. It's nice to escape the hustle and bustle of London for a quiet weekend in Leeds: no traffic, no Underground, friendly...

Do you have a favourite cake? The one you can't say no to, the one you would always pick from a menu, the one you would choose as your birthday cake. For me it's a Carrot Cake. I love the combination of a moist and not overly sweet sponge with the sugary...

I have already written about the ramen trend in my review of Bone Daddies and how I found tonkotsu in London quite different from the one I tasted in Japan. I enjoyed it, but I wasn't won over. My friends liked Shoryu, so when a new pop-up opened in Soho,...

More often than not, I come back to London from my weekend trips abroad in need of a good cup of coffee. We are spoilt for choice in this city, but unfortunately in most of Continental Europe the quality of coffee is still quite low. That was definitely...

Up To The Rooftop was a special showcase event at Smiths of Smithfield, which I was invited to attend two weeks ago. Taking over five floors of a Grade II listed warehouse in Farringdon, across the street from Smithfield Market, SOS is a place to go to...

Have you ever had a hangover with tequila? I have heard stories of friends getting drunk on tequila, then waking up the next day with no recollection of what had happened (the experience, putting them off tequila for good). While none of this has happened...

Three weeks ago I flew to Milan to photograph the first Italian AeroPress Championship, an event organised by IMS Filtri and Terrone Coffee which gathered a fantastic response from the Italian coffee community and raised interest in the public. In a country...

This month I have been invited to take part to a 'Recipe Challenge' in collaboration with Westfield London to promote their We Are Dining campaign. The campaign, which started on the 20th of January and will run until the end of February, supports the...

Last week I shared some photos of Tromsø, Norway: the Northern Lights, our AirBNB accomodation and my favourite coffee shops. This week I'm sharing part two of my travel diary, writing about Tromsø's restaurants, dog sledding tours and the Fjellheisen...

I hope you don't mind that my blog is increasingly becoming just about brunch, coffee and cake! ;) I have a few more brunch reviews in store for you this month! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -...

Every family has a set of recipes that are used regularly and passed on from one generation to another. My family culinary traditions come from the Italian region of Friuli Venezia-Giulia and the city of Trieste, where my mum was born. My grandmother...

A few weeks ago I discovered the Disappearing Dining Club thanks to a blog post on A Southern Belle in London blog and I was instantly intrigued by it. DDC is an events company that "brings like-minded people together to enjoy great food, drink and good...

Forza Win, the pizza supperclub on a rooftop in Shoreditch, has become one of my favourite summer events. I was a guest at their first event last summer and I loved the food and atmosphere. Forza Win 2013 has a new roof top, new menu, new wine list, new...

Two months ago I had an epic brunch date with my friends at The Pantry in Hazlemere, a suburb of High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire. It wasn't the first time that I travelled the distance in search for a good brunch and I am sure it won't be the last either!...

Recently I have been blogging more about travels than food, but I hope you won't mind. Photography, food and travels are my biggest passions and for me they are inevitably linked to each other. One of the photographers I admire most, Marte Marie Forsberg,...

In February I wrote a post about Terrone Coffee: the coffee shack located in Netil Market is still open every Saturday (despite being affected by a fire that broke out at the market last month and damaged the shipping container where it's based). Now...

I have been travelling a lot these past few months, so when I do get to spend a weekend in London I try to make the most of it. Exploring east London and in particular Hackney is always on my bucket list but I never seem to be able to keep up with all...

Last month I finally got around to trying the new-ish (it opened on the 30th November) Patty & Bun. After serving London's best burgers at markets and pop-ups, P&B found a permanent home and is now established as one of the best burger joints in London....

My job as a freelance photographer often takes me to really cool events, one of these was National Burger Day, which took place at Dalston Yard (current home of Street Feast) on the 27th of August. This year was Mr Hyde's first #NationalBurgerDay and...
