Brother Marcus was a recent great little find of mine about 200 yards from my London office along Camden Passage. So one evening I went along with a friend to try out their food – their Instagram account was appetising enough! The concept, as is the trend these days is for small plates. The menu has…

Duck & Waffle
Towering above the city on the 40th Floor of the Heron Tower is Duck and Waffle, a restaurant known for it’s signature dish, after which it’s named after and it’s 24/7 opening hours. Still, after being open for 7 years, tables are like gold dust and only the fastest finger first or luck manages to…
Kricket
I’ve been spending more time in London recently with work, which gives a great opportunity to knock off a few items from my restaurant bucket list. Kricket in Soho is a modern Indian and my friend and I paid a midweek visit before going to see a film nearby at the Picturehouse Central (which I can also recommend!). …
Afternoon Tea at Kyloe
Kyloe is not a place I automatically think of for Afternoon Tea. Normally we visit for incredible steaks and cocktails, so I was intrigued to try their Afternoon Tea offering. I went along with a friend before Christmas to try it out, starting with an obligatory cocktail of course in The Huxley downstairs. We moved…
Amalfi Coast
It’s been a while since I last wrote a post, but there is nothing better to inspire you to start writing again than spending a week on the Amalfi Coast! Mid-June a friend and I took ourselves off to Italy where we spent 5 nights in the amazing Agriturismo Antico Casale nestled between Sorrento and…
Maraschino Cherries
I love cherries and back a couple of months ago in Cherry season I collected a pile to do something with. I like them to eat, put them in cakes and also in cocktails, so I thought I would make my own Marachino Cherries. In the US the term Maraschino Cherry refers to the red…
Southern Comfort Ice Cream Bread
I had read somewhere ages ago about a recipe for bread which involved only two ingredients – flour and ice-cream! This intrigued me, how could this work? Curiosity got the better of me and I thought I would give it a go. I didn’t want to make a plain bread – naturally, so I did…
Orange Blossom Oolong Shortbread
Last week on the Great British Bake Off it was Biscuit week, and Earl Grey seemed to be the flavour du jour. I love my teas, but I’ve never really been a fan of Earl Grey. I liked the idea of a tea based shortbread and came up with the idea of using Orange Blossom…
Strawberry Vodka
Having collected far too many Strawberries at the Pick Your Own, I decided to continue with my exploits with fruit infused booze and set about making some Strawberry Vodka. The good thing about this recipe is, it requires just two ingredients and a little patience! It only needs between 3 – 7 days to ‘mature’…
