A sunny bank holiday!? Unheard of!
What a beautiful week. This summer went so quickly without me even realising so I am holding on to every moment of beautiful weather and spending as much time outside as I can. Wednesday 21st was a coffee and pastry for breakfast at my absolute favourite Urban Botanica (shoutout to my altmilk bae Stephen), working…
Getting back in the habit
Monday 19th August After a super busy week it was a quiet night at home.I am getting so much better at cooking for myself. I do have to push myself a bit to get going but once I am cooking I do really enjoy it. Today Mel and Simon headed off on their next adventure…
Dinner Party Days
Wednesday 14th AugustRight, back to Wednesday since this is a blog about food. My friends Dave and Suz came over to see my flat for the first time since I moved in, in February. I absolutely love hosting people for dinner so like to go a bit all out. For this one I decided to…
A week of getting behind
Edit: OH my goodness! I have massively got out of the habit of writing. And what was a few days behind has turned into weeks! I think its a bit of a result of anxiety and worry sometimes, is that you fail miss a day and lose momentum and think you have ruined it. But…
Cooking with myself
I did pretty well at keeping up with the cooking this week. On Wednesday, with my friend coming over for dinner, I didn’t get the mince out of the freezer early enough so had to buy more for dinner while the large pack defrosted in the fridge. That led to a pretty beef heavy week…
New Friends & Food
Second dinner guest of the week! I really should spread things out more. I met Stephen when I moved to the area at the beginning of the year. At a difficult time, it was great to make a new friend and we get on so well. He runs the fantastic Urban Botanica in Kennington; my…
Just a couple of tarts
It used to be one of my favourite things to do, hosting a dinner party, having friends round to cook and chat and drink wine. I always made too many elements and I always loved it. I haven’t done that for a while but as with everything I am trying to get back into the…
A day for me
Saturday I decided to have a day just for me. Breakfast at home and then yoga in town. It was quite the class i was expecting but I pushed myself for 90mins and felt so good afterward. Then after a short walk I headed to Honey & Co (honeyandco.co.uk) near Warren St, a lovely little…
The most important meal
I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I can never keep track of what is or isn’t good for us, or what diet we should be following and with the “rules” changing so often who can blame us. The one thing that has always stuck with me since childhood though is that breakfast is…
Today’s food brought to you by hangovers
No big ideas today. It was my friends’ leaving drinks last night as they are moving to Australia later this month so after getting in at about 3am nothing too ambitious was going to happen today. They stayed the night with me so a made brealfast for the three of us. Crispy bacon, fried eggs…
