Healthy food chain, Hg Soho, opens in London. Two years ago, I spent five weeks living in Madrid. I ate out daily and discovered that while Spanish homes were no doubt filled with fruit and vegetables, many of the restaurants were not. The surfeit of jamon, potatoes, eggs, and cheese had me craving my sort […]
The Sussex, Soho Beef Wellington Experience
How to Make (and Eat) a Beef Wellington For me, eating red meat is a bit like eating chocolate. I love both. I’m well aware that large quantities of either might not be a good idea. So, I pick my occasions and try to enjoy less but better. An invitation to learn how to make […]
Mele e Pere Soho
It’s hard to believe this was my first visit to Mele e Pere, a Soho fixture on Brewer Street for 15 years. Still run by the same three brothers and their friend who founded it, the restaurant captures the warmth and authenticity of a family-run trattoria from northern Italy.

Kanpai Classic Japanese in Soho
Tucked in on Soho’s Wardour Street, Kanpai Classic is one of London’s top destinations for high-end Japanese yakiniku.
