It’s been a few weeks I last blogged – I lost my mojo a bit for a variety of reasons, including that it felt quite flippant for me to write about food whilst the news focused on the horrors in Ukraine and the impact of energy price increases in the UK. Then I came down […]

Farewell to 2021 – in photos
As we say goodbye to 2021 and look towards a new year, I wanted to share our experience of 2021 with you – family life, food, and plenty of fun. A brief word on the pandemic When I wrote about the craziness of 2020 this time last year, little did I expect that we would […]

Dotori Korean and Japanese restaurant, Finsbury Park – review
Whenever someone says to me “you are a foodie, tell us where to go for dinner” I take it on as a fun personal challenge, as there’s not a lot I like doing more than thinking about food (except maybe eating it). One of my best friends from school, Sonia, set me to task most […]
Alphabet Adventures: N is for Nepal – Great Nepalese
The problem with blogging less frequently is that I have got out of the habit of taking photographs of everything I eat (although that’s not usually an issue for my companions, who were never allowed to eat until I had snapped various dishes). So although Charlotte and Jo benefited from my lack of photography during […]
Menu planning with my new cookbook ‘Get your kids to eat anything’
My food blogger pal Emily Leary, who writes a fantastic blog called A Mummy Too, recently published a cookbook called ‘Get your kids to eat anything‘, and kindly sent me a copy to review. It couldn’t come at a better time, as Ioan has literally this week started to test boundaries at the dining table. […]
Bob Bob Ricard, London (review)
This weekend, my mum friends and I had a longstanding date with Paris. We were going to leave the kids at home with their dads and take an early train to Paris, spend the day eating, drinking and eating and drinking (with maybe a bit more eating and drinking thrown in), relishing the freedom of […]

Duck and waffle at the Duck and Waffle – review
Andrew and I first met as second year university students when we moved into the same house. That was in 1996, and four cats and one child later, we’re still going strongly. Although we never buy each other anniversary presents or cards, we always like to mark the occasion with a nice meal or holiday. […]
Alphabet Adventures – M is for Mauritius
Ever since I moved to this part of North London, which is home to well known Greek and Turkish restaurants, I have been intrigued by the Mauritian restaurant near Turnpike Lane called Le Chamarel. And what better time to give it a try, than when Jo and Charlotte want a new location for the latest […]
New year easy eats with Froothie (review)
I have a confession to make, and I am not very proud of it. Almost a year ago, Froothie sent me a couple of kitchen gadgets to play with and review. Now, when companies send bloggers gadgets, or food, a blogger is under no obligation to write about the product. However, what the company hopes […]
Week 21 – The Frog Restaurant by Adam Handling (review)
Sometimes when you are getting no sleep, no sleep, and more no sleep, the only answer is to go out and get drunk! Okay, that’s not quite what I did at The Frog Restaurant, but my mummy friends and I did treat ourselves to the tasting menu and drinks pairing, which was quite a lot […]
