Visit London and you can eat the World – Gastronomy in London. I was delighted when HomeAway contacted me and asked me to write a short article for them on Gastronomy in London. I know I eat out and review a lot of restaurants, but I also appreciate that for someone visiting London, the myriad [...]
The Malt House, Fulham – More Gastro on my Doorstep: Fulham is an area of London in transition. With the Earls Court Redevelopment about to start, residents are facing five years or so of major redevelopment. And, many of the pubs and restaurants in the area seem to be reinventing themselves every few months in [...]
Maroush Bakehouse Earls Court During that quiet period between Christmas and New Year (well quiet for those of us without children on holiday!), I took the opportunity to check out a new Bakehouse that has opened just a few minutes walk from where I live. Now, the name did sound familiar and I realised later [...]
Tabasco® and Bloody Mary – A Challenge and A Giveaway: Earlier this year I spent a happy lunch time trying twenty or so fabulous Bloody Mary cocktails and variations! It was, of course, the Bloody Mary Challenge, held this year at the American Bar at Brasserie Zedel, an event that attracts the UK’s top [...]
The Reverend JW Simpson -Cocktails in London: London is full of hidden suprises. London’s newest Cocktail Bar, Rev JW Simpson from the people who brought you Bourne and Hollingsworth looks unassuming enough from the outside and, on a dark winter’s night you might just walk past. But that would be a shame! Named after the eponymous [...]
OK…WATCHING the Skating, DRINKING the Coffee: There is a strong possibility that I am one of the worlds least sporty people. I come from a family of sportsmen and women and my total lack of co-ordination married with my lack of any kind of athletic talent was always a source of embarrassment to my parents. [...]
Pierre Hermé Macarons in London: We all have our weaknesses. Mine – chocolate, champagne and macarons. The latter, partly a fascination in the process of creating them, partly amazement at the range of flavours and colours. I’ve tried making my own at home (dismal failure) and in a class (reasonable success), but the version that [...]
Cognac Tasting at L’Atelier de Courvoisier, Harrods: Downstairs at Harrods, the tasting room has been turned into a ‘unique re-imagining’ of the Courvoisier cellar in Jarnac. One wall lined with the Eaux de Vie that are used to create Courvoisier, another with a unique piece of art work, the third with historic bottles and some [...]
Urban Art to Support Art for Africa. OK here’s a Christmas gift idea if you really want to splash out a bit and like the idea of helping a good charity at the same time. On Tuesday 11 December, Dreweatts’ Maddox Street salerooms are hosting the last Urban Art Auction this year. There are 104 lots [...]
High Tease at the Grosvenor Hotel: What would you say to an invite to High Tease? Sounds good doesn’t it…particularly if you love afternoon tea and chocolate cake as much as I do. I was, nevertheless, unprepared for the grandeur of the Victorian Lounge and the amazing selection of cakes and cocktails that greeted us. [...]
