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.

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.

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.

Ed’s Easy Diner Soho
Burger Blues at Ed’s Easy Diner – Review: The original Ed’s Easy Diner opened it’s doors in 1987. It wasn’t until a few years later that I discovered the place, fresh out uni and looking for something cool and different. Styled like an American retro diner, Ed’s was a million miles from the burger places […]
