Cia Ignifuga – A House is Not A Home – Bell Square: Walking into Hounslow’s’ Bell Square on Saturday night, I was immediately drawn to the large transparent house, which looked rather out of place in this very ordinary looking square. However, the people of Hounslow are becoming more accustomed to strange events transforming their […]

Dining at Vicino, Chelsea
Bravissimo at Vicino: The prospect of sampling a 10-course tasting menu of home-cooked Italian Cuisine is one worth going hungry for.

Khushi Nepalese Restaurant Review
Khushi Nepalese – Happy Dining in Boston Manor: Khushi, apparently, means ‘Happy’ in Nepalese and the team at the eponymous restaurant do their best to reflect that in the way their restaurant operates.

Acciuga – Kensington – An Italian Summer
Summer Menu at Acciuga Kensington: There are a few restaurants in London which have quickly become like old friends.

I’ve been back a couple of times since, even taking an Italian […]
Review – Potli, Hammersmith
Indian Summer at Potli, Hammersmith: Zoe Perrett of The Spice Scribe is a woman on a mission. To educate London into the mysteries of Indian Cuisine.

Blogger Lunch at the Ship, Wandsworth
What’s in a Blogging Event then? For me, finding that there were real people behind the blogs I’d been following for a while before I started my own was an unexpected bonus. I was very lucky last year, about a month into starting my own blog, to win a place at Food Blogger Connect. Slightly […]
