On Sunday I went with a few of the Edinburgh Bakers to Wendy’s Pudding Club which she held to raise funds for Its Good to Give. Having tasted Wendy’s cakes and puddings on a number of occasions we knew we were in for a great treat! We were welcomed into her home where she had…

Patisserie Madeleine
A couple of Sundays ago, we went out for a walk round Inverleith Park and then down into Stockbridge to the weekly market, by which point I was in need of a cuppa! We walked passed Patisserie Madeleine and noticed the beautiful cakes in the window, and I knew what I definitely wanted! The cafe…
Edinburgh Larder Bistro
Last week myself and a few friends headed along to the Edinburgh Larder Bistro in a basement on the corner of Alva Street. I have driven passed it many times and at last had an excuse to go. We were also fortunate to spot on LivingSocial a voucher – 2 courses and a glass of…
Pomegranate
A drizzly grey day in Edinburgh, just before Christmas seen Stuart and I pop into Pomegranate on Antigua Street for a late lunch. We were warmly welcomed into the bright and cheery restaurant, just what we needed to break through the greyness! Pomegranate is the sister restaurant of Hanam’s up near the Castle, which is…
The Chop Shop
When we were last in London Stuart and I made an effort to eat in places we haven’t been to before. When you are down there working its easy to fall into the trap of the same old restaurants. So I did my research before we went and I set my eyes on The Chop…

Afternoon Tea at the Pommery Bar
On Saturday 14 Edinburgh Bakers treated themselves to a fantastic afternoon tea in the beautiful venue of The Signet Library, at the Pommery Bar. The Pommery Bar only pops up once a year during the festival, so we were sure to get in early with this treat! We first started with a refreshing glass of…
Woodland Dinner
A month or so ago I discovered that during the summer a pop up restaurant would be appearing at Jupiter Artland. I have written about Jupiter Artland before, and how its a great day out. So I was really excited about this event which was being run by Barry from C{ate}r. Thankfully we were able…
Loving Food!
Over the last six months there appears to have been a shift in the food choices available in Stirling. I have often mentioned before about how dull Stirling is for good quality food and the limited choice, especially in terms of quick lunch snacks, with the supermarkets often being the only ‘decent’ option for a…
The Coffee Bothy,Deanston Distillery
Always on the look out for new places to eat near our office, Stuart and I took a quick trip up to Deanston Distillery, a mere 15 minutes away, to grab a bite to eat at The Coffee Bothy. Deanston Distillery’s claim to fame is that the film ‘The Angels Share’ centres around some precious…
