A touch of NYC in the heart of KHS! A retro neon sign tells you you’ve arrived, otherwise, it would be easy to walk past the narrow doorway to Dirty Bones’ Kensington High Street.

Healthy Lemon Chicken
Lemon Chicken – Trying to eat healthy food: This recipe for healthy lemon chicken is very quick and simple. I made mine using the wings and legs from the Organic Chicken in my Abel and Cole box this week. If you don’t plan on feeding a whole family, it’s quite a good idea to take […]
