Britain has always had a soft spot for cooking. Studies have shown that we own an average of five recipe books each, but now, more so than ever, we find ourselves turning to TV cooking shows, such as Come Dine with Me and The Great British Bake Off for further inspiration. We all have our favourite recipes, and our own special way to enhance them,…

The end of last week all happened as a bit of a whirlwind; there was a phone call about a job, a phone interview, a face to face interview, a job offer, an acceptance email, a lunch at Giggling Squid and then a train up to Leeds for the weekend, and if I’m dead honest it’s all a bit of a blur! So yes, I…

As you will have seen from my last post or on my Instagram Stories, I recently spent a couple of nights in Leeds visiting friends. I traveled up by train with Hayley from London’s Kings Cross to Leeds station in jut over 2 hours for £40 return which I thought was dead speedy and great value!

I spent last weekend up in Leeds with some of my favourite ladies, and again, all we did was eat!

I have zero complaints about weekends like these but as soon as I’m home I’m back on my Slimming World to get myself back in the game…

I love The Stable, which is an odd one for me as I’m not normally one that buys into chains, but The Stable have it sussed. They feel like an independent, one-off restaurant that really have put their everything into making their food and drink spot on. One thing I love about The Stable is the attention to detail of what they’re offering you, whether it’s the amazing pizza…

Not so long ago The Ivy opened one of its world-famous restaurants in Winchester and it just so happened I was spending a couple of nights there so I obviously had to stop by for a dinner date with Hayley. The decor was exactly as you would expect it; plush, rich in colours and table settings that would give nay wedding a run for its money. The…
