Yesterday morning after a little incident in the kitchen, rendering it unusable, we were stuck with what to do about breakfast. As we work in Stirling and have to leave reasonably early there is little open, except for – the Brewers Fayre?! Not really wanting to go down this route I trawled the web looking…

Birthday Dinner Surprise
A couple of Saturdays ago it was my birthday, and I was treated to a lovely day of theatre and cake. The final surprise was dinner at Restaurant Mark Greenaway at No.12 Picardy Place. I have wanted to go here for a while after reading many a review from other Edinburgh Foodies and the Cake…
My First Supper Club
Friday night finally arrived, the long wait was over. Six months ago my friend Rebecca and I decided we had to go to a supper club, though naturally we didn’t do anything about it until about a month ago, when Charlie and Evelyn’s Table announced they were going to be back in the kitchen over…
Supper with Joanna Blythman
Last Tuesday during a quiet moment at work – lets say lunchtime… I had a wee flick through twitter to see what was going on in the world, when I noticed someone had re-tweeted Taste Communications tweet about a 2 course supper with Joanna Blythman who has just launched her new book – What to…
Il Pirata
Another new local restaurant has popped up near my parents, this time on the Upper Newtownards Road – Il Pirata, in what was an old KFC, though completely unrecognisable as an ex-fast food joint! Il Pirata is named after a dead Italian racing cyclist, Marco ‘Il Pirata’ Pantani, (because of his love of ear-rings and…
Ace, Belfast
Round where my parents live is going through some kind of eateries boom. Every time I come home there seems to be another new restaurant in the area. Ace is situated on the Belmont Road in Belfast, in what used to be ‘The Gourmet Burger Bank’ and before that a branch of the First Trust…
Horatio Todd’s
Another food post from Belfast (did I mention I ate a lot when I was there?). Horatio Todd’s is a local bar / restaurant in the Ballyhackamore area of Belfast. A recent article in the local newspaper stated there were 22 different bars and restaurants in the area – who knew? I remember the days…
Made In Belfast
We were back in Belfast last weekend and we did spend a good lot of the time eating out. One place which I tend to back to time and time again is Made in Belfast. They have recently opened another restaurant in the Cathedral Quarter and its just as good as the one beside the…
Cuckoo’s Bakery
On our way back from the Stockbridge market on Sunday, I had built up a bit of a thirst, and since it was a lovely cold, crisp day I thought it would be really nice to cuddle a cup of something hot in a nice cafe somewhere (oh the old romantic in me!). Every time…
Earthy Foods
Today we ventured out of the North side of Edinburgh and made the trip across town to the South Side…. which really isn’t that big a journey, its just we never go there! One of the reasons we went was to visit Earthy Foods on Ratcliffe Terrace, we have read reviews and articles about it…
