You’ll know from my recent #Nofilter post that I rather love Switzerland … and that’s in no small part due to the lovely food there. You can’t really go too far wrong at the dinner table when everything is liberally covered with melted cheese (even better – cheese which has been melted INTO WINE!). Mmmmmmmm. […]

Beautiful Switzerland with #Nofilter
Anyone who knows me, or reads It’s not easy being greedy, will know that we love to travel. And with travelling comes the opportunity to eat our way around the globe. We’re lucky enough to have several friends living in Switzerland, which means we get to go there on holiday quite a lot. As our friends […]

Tredwell’s Seven Dials – Marcus Wareing new launch – review
I think one of the best things I have ever done (well, in terms of feeding my greed, at least) is signing up to mailing lists of restaurants I like. It’s great when you get an email in your mailbox telling you about a new restaurant which is opening, especially when it invites you to […]
It’s not easy being greedy – especially if you are a cat
If you don’t own cats (or, rather, if a cat hasn’t decided to make you its personal slave), then you probably think that cats eat cat food, right? Wrong! What cats most want to eat in the world is whatever you are enjoying at any particular time. And they will do anything they can to […]
A meat free barbecue with Quorn
A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to a barbecue by Quorn. As it’s still early days for ‘It’s not easy being greedy’ in terms of making friends with brands and PRs, I’ll pretty much go to the opening of an envelope if it’s food related, so I accepted the invitation despite the fact that […]

Seven sublime courses at Ink, thanks to Zomato
I was recently contacted by Zomato about contributing on their website – a restaurant discovery platform. I’d never heard of them before, but met someone from their team to find out about them, and came away impressed by what they do: Zomato provides a simple website and mobile app, which is free to download and use, […]
A lighter meal with Quark
I came across Quark a few years ago when I was doing Weightwatchers to shed some pounds. All the other ladies I met were shouting about how wonderful it was because it tasted creamy despite being almost fat free, and so I found myself experimenting with Quark on their recommendation: making cheesecakes and eton mess […]

Birthday dinner at The Berkeley by Marcus Wareing
Andrew and I went through a stage a few years ago where we went to a lot of Michelin-starred restaurants, but then we decided to buy a house and realised that going out to posh places wasn’t compatible with saving money for a house, and we pretty much stopped going out for dinner all together. […]
E is for Ecuador – El Rincon Quiteno
Thanks to the recent arrival of Henry, Charlotte’s adorable little baby boy, we haven’t had much opportunity to move ahead with Alphabet Adventures. But Charlotte decided to make the best possible use of her maternity leave (during breaks from caring for Henry, of course!) by searching for a restaurant so that we could continue our adventures […]
Why I love … Clarence Court eggs
As I explained in the introduction to this ‘Why I love …‘ series, I wanted the opportunity to shout about some brands, products and services I love. The motivation for writing this series is because I think what I am writing about is a good thing, and I want to share my views with you. The […]
