Celebrate Woman’s Day in Style at Cantina del Ponte Last week I went to a preview of a great event which will be happening for Woman’s Day in London. March 8th is known worldwide as International Women’s Day, but in Italy it is also as an annual excuse for a girls’ night out on...
Bar Boulud – Escape from Harvey Nichols We were booked to dine at Bar Boulud in the Manderin Oriental, Knightsbridge as guests of the Hotel, but arrived just a little early. I have to say, while I generally like hotel bars, on a whim I suggested we went to the 5th Floor bar at...
OK, so it’s one of the most hyped exhibitions in London right now. And, one of the most hyped restaurants…for somewhere that only has three main dishes on the menu! So, as a cynical hater of hype, what on earth possessed me to do both in one day? Well, partly that in common with...
I would guess that most Londoners without kids find, much as I do, that their friends with children living out of town assume their street wise city friends understand what to do with kids. I know, as a godmother and surrogate godmother to a whole host of kids, I get ‘lets meet up and...
Aspleys at the Lanesborough, A Heinz Beck Restaurant…and some thoughts on Restaurant Reviews I was invited to dine at Aspleys recently. It’s a fabulous restaurant in the Lanesborough Hotel that boasts Heinz Beck as executive chef – a quietly spoken German man who just happens to run Rome’s only three star Michelin restaurant...
Did you know that today (9 February) is Happy Chocolate Day? Well, I didn’t until I put on my twitter stream this morning! Sadly the effect of everyone tweeting about chocolate is to make me want to EAT chocolate. On top of that, I have another giveaway to set up for you. This one,...
Many thanks to Annalise, from TasterLab, who has written an excellent guest blog for London-Unattached with some great alternative ideas for Valentine’s Day! Now, while you might not want to learn tango or have a romantic meal for two if you don’t have a partner right now, quite a lot of the TasterLab experiences...
I grew up in the age when TV was a relatively new luxury. The first TV set I remember was black and white…we were allowed to watch Blue Peter, but not Magpie which my mother thought was a bad influence (it was on the ‘wrong’ side) and Magic Roundabout after tea, before bed! Cookery...
I go out with girlfriends on a reasonably regular basis. And, it can be a challenge to find the right sort of place. A nice, friendly bistro that doesn’t cost the earth in Central London. Pubs are not really what we are looking for and nor are chain restaurants of the pizza express/café rouge...
Are you wondering if anyone might send you a Valentine this year? If like me, you really don’t stand much chance of a romantic date or a bouquet of red roses, well, why not win yourself some fabulous chocolates from Green and Black’s instead. You could win this beautiful selection of Green & Black’s...
