Florentine Restaurant Review: In the lead up to National Burger Day we were approached by Florentine Restaurant, just off the Southbank, who asked us to create a London Unattached version of their famous Herculean Burger. Always game for a spot of creativity in the kitchen we went with a Mexican them and created the Arriba! […]
Salmon Burger Recipe – Something Fishy for National Burger Day
Simple Salmon Burgers: I love homemade burgers. So much I’ve actually broken my own rule about not acquiring any more kitchen utensils and bought myself a set of chef’s rings which are perfect for making neat burgers of all varieties. As it’s National Burger Day on 23rd August, I thought I’d try my hand at […]
Hache New Brunch Menu
Five try the New Brunch Menu at Haché. After an invigorating swim in Tooting Lido (the adults that is) we were ready for our Hache brunch. Everyone was impressed with the variety of food choices. We had a selection of drinks and smoothies. The Clean Green is a mixture of apple, cucumber, kale, mint and […]
Haché’s Burger Social
Haché’s Burger Social: Wining and Dining in Balham Haché Balham is already a firm family favourite so when I was asked to review their range of gourmet burgers I turned up mob-handed. One of the big pluses at Haché is its ability to cater for our myriad dietary requirements- vegetarian, gluten free and nut allergies. […]
TheJuciest Burger Ever Recipe from Hellmanns
The Story of a Home Made Beef Burger: Do you ever get a craving for a burger? One that just won’t go away… That need to sink your teeth into something meaty, juicy and incredibly tasty. The sort of craving that just doesn’t equate to a ready-made meat pattie or (heaven forbid) a fast food […]

Bonfire at the Barbican – No More Small Plates:
Searcy’s Bonfire – Burgers and Barbeque Before the Show: I can’t pretend to be a regular at the Barbican. But, I do love the Arts Centre there. One of those products of the 1980s I can remember going to the opening of the concert hall when I was a student. Although the theatre is massive […]
Christmas at The Fire Station
A Festive Affair at the Smokin’ Hot Fire Station: Working freelance it is perfectly possible to completely miss that ‘Christmas Party’ vibe. There are times when, Scrooge-like, I am quite happy NOT to take part in all the fun. But, sometimes I walk past a buzzing restaurant and just yearn to be there, in the […]
Spicy Lamb Burger with Blue Cheese and Damson Chutney #NationalBurgerDay
Home Made Spicy Lamb Burger for National Burger Day: Burgers are one of the easiest things to make yourself.

Vive les Hamburges! – The Big Fernand Review
The Big Fernand comes to London: The French Government is very sensitive to the Anglicisation of its language; despite its efforts to find French alternatives, many English and American words have leaked into the French language e.g. “le weekend” finishes off the week, “post-its” are found in the office, and safety devices fitted to cars […]
