Tiramisu Brownies
I love chocolate, I love coffee – I love brownies and I love tiramisu. What could possibly go wrong combining the two? It makes for the most delicious, decadent and moreish dessert. Think dense, fudgy brownies with a light, coffee flavoured mascarpone cream. They balance perfectly for a dessert you will not be able to…
What I Ate In Paris
My family and I recently took a trip to Paris, and I was given the great responsibility of choosing all the food. I, of course, took this very seriously. For me, the most important part of a holiday is to try as much local food as possible. So me being me, I made a spreadsheet……
Flour And Grape – Bermondsey, SE1
After a bit of a quiet period, I’m back! I’ve been away on a pretty big holiday, for which food updates will be coming very soon… But in the meantime, I thought I’d do a little review of one of the lovely restaurants I’ve been to recently in London. It’ll come as no surprise to…
Onion Smash Burgers
I love burgers. 95% of the time I get a Deliveroo it’ll be Bleecker, Burger & Beyond, Salt Shed, Black Bear or Shake Shack. But, despite my deep love of burgers, I’ve never mastered making my own – until now. And let me tell you, making an incredible burger could not be more simple. It…
Elliot’s – Hackney, E8
2 friends and I have been making a real effort to try a lot of local Hackney restaurants to make the most of our area and, most importantly, to avoid getting on a tube. Next on our list was Elliot’s – another one that I’ve heard great things about through the grape vine but never…
Cheesy, Tomatoey, Italian Sausage Pasta Bake
This is one of my go to comfort, hangover dishes. We’re talking cheesy carbs with a real punch of herby, tomatoey flavour. This dish was inspired by one of my fave Chrissy Tiegen recipes – her pasta alla norma. I really liked what she called ‘mozzarella bombs’ – her dish and this one have chunks…
How I Made A Wedding Cake
All of you who have read my How To Host A Wedding Cake Tasting will know I’m making the wedding cake for my lovely cousin Bryony & her now-husband Lush. Well, the big day has now happened and I can reveal there were no cake-related disasters! But above all that, it was the most beautiful…
Bistrot Walluc – Shoreditch, E2
In this instalment of the foodie adventures of Ros & Meg we took a trip to this Shoreditch fondue house. Neither of us can remember exactly how it started but we’ve both been chatting to Bistrot Walluc on insta for quite a while and we’ve been so keen to go since. We decided it would…
Sausage, Egg And Cheese Pancake Stack
This is a dirty but delicious breakfast/brunch recipe – absolutely nothing refined about it. That makes it another great option for a hangover breakfast, like my best ever breakfast muffin recipe. In fact, the two recipes are pretty similar but this swaps the muffin for American pancakes, and doubles up on patty count. It’s cheesy,…
Where The Pancakes Are – Southwark, SE1
We visited this pancake house as part of my best foodie friend Ros’s birthday celebrations. You should all be very familiar with her by now so you’ll understand why this is a perfect celebration for Ros. Made even better by the fact that it was preceded by puppy yoga. So our Saturday went from being…
Eataly Fresh Pasta Cooking Class Review
Anyone who knows me knows I am in love with Eataly and spend a good chunk of my pay-cheque in the store on anything from guanciale to their insane tiramisu. So it only felt right that I had to do a cooking class there. My best foodie friend Ros (check out her foodie insta @rosontour)…
Garlic, Chilli Tomatoey Pappardelle With Dressed Mozzarella
We’re back, and it’s another pasta recipe (surprise surprise). Can you tell pasta’s my favourite food? This one is a super tomatoey, garlicky and punchy dish. Think arich, garlic, chilli and tomato sauce over pappardelle with a super tasty and fresh seasoned mozzarella on top. This another quick one, perfect for a weekday dinner. The…
Pistachio Pesto Pasta With Burrata
This is another one of my super quick & easy pasta dishes, but this one has a little extra wow (and by wow I mean a whole burrata on top). Which makes this the perfect dish for trying to impress friends with very little prep time. It consists pasta, a super flavourful and simple pistachio…
Burger & Beyond – Shoreditch, E1
I like to think of myself as a bit of a burger of London connoisseur. I’ve eaten a lot of burgers, and I’m working on my top 5 list but it still needs a bit more research (aka eating more burgers). In the meantime, I thought I’d write about one of my favourite burger places…
Foodie Day Trip: Where To Eat In Cambridge
This is my first foray into non-London food on this blog so I hope it goes well! You may be wondering how qualified am I to talk about food in Cambridge – well I spent 3 years of my life at uni there, so I would say quite qualified (although I was on a student…
Creamy White Sausage Ragu
For me there is no better way to spend a Sunday than making a ragu. There is something so relaxing and therapeutic about focussing your whole mind on cooking for a few hours. Every step requires so much care and attention from chopping all the veggies perfectly to simmering it all down. All that time…
12:51 – Highbury & Islington, N1
12:51 is a place I’ve been to a few times for both the tasting menu and the Sunday roast and I am a big big fan. The chef is James Cochran, who you may know from such shows as Great British Menu – a show I watched avidly for years and I was always a…
Toms Pasta – Hackney Downs, E8
I took a trip to this restaurant on the recommendation of a friend who works there. She had absolutely rave reviews for the place and after a quick scroll of their insta I was hooked. Tom’s Pasta is unsurprisingly headed up by a chef named Tom, who mans the kitchen on his own churning out…
Ramen Noodles With Herby Miso Sauce
This is my second spruced-up packet ramen recipe – the first being my miso peanut butter ramen, and both recipes are up there with the best recipes I’ve come up with (IMO anyway). This dish is super simple and cooks in less than 10 minutes but really doesn’t skimp on flavour. It’s such a fresh…
Tops Tips For Dining Out Alone (+ Review of Koya – Soho, W1)
As a major foodie, one thing I’ve always wanted to do but never felt brave enough to is go to a restaurant on my own. I’ve always looked at people who go to restaurants alone as super independent people – but I’ve never been able to extend that image to myself. For some reason, while…
My Best Ever Breakfast Muffins: Sausage, Bacon, Egg & Cheese Muffins
This is the ultimate hangover breakfast. Obviously there are some hangovers where a McDonalds muffin is the only answer, but for those ones where you feel able to get in the kitchen – this is the cure. To be honest this is amazing even if you’re not hungover. Let’s rephrase that first sentence to the…
How To Have A Foodie Day in China Town (London)
A few weeks ago my best foodie friend Ros & I spent a very wholesome Saturday wandering around Chinatown + Soho and eating everything we thought looked good. We had a few ideas of stuff we wanted to eat from things we’d seen on instagram, but for the rest we just ate whatever we came…
Cheesy Pork Quesadillas With Avocado Crema
This dish is one of my favourite comfort foods I make. I use a limey, garlicky, coriander-y marinated pork steak, my creamy refried black beans, two types of cheese and fry it up in a tortilla for a delicious meaty cheesy meal – all dipped in a lovely fresh avocado crema. I am the worst…
Angelina – Dalston, E8
Angelina is very often talked about as one of the best restaurants in Hackney, and I’m ashamed to say I spent over a year of my life living just down the road from Angelina and never went. But, over a year on from that flat and I finally took the trip to Angelina, and here…
Puttanesca (-esque) Sauce
I learnt about this sauce from the Series of Unfortunate Events movie (IYKYK) and I’ve never looked back. Its a super salty, umami, rich tomatoey sauce – it really packs a punch without feeling too heavy. This is such a great go to weeknight dinner, sped up even more by using a frozen batch of…
