Local Food Hero: Pierozek Polish Delicatessen
Have you ever walked into a shop on Edgeware Rd or Chinatown in London and felt transported to another place? I love nothing more than walking into a deli or grocer and being immersed in the delights of another culture. Since moving to Maidenhead I found […]
The Best and Wurst of Berlin
I was in Berlin for a few days last week. While I usually like to write about the food I ate while I was away, my affair with food abroad this time was a little bit… different. I was travelling alone and this meant that I […]
Pea Shoots and Paris
As you know I recently had a friend from Australia visit me here in the UK. She spent a few days in the area with her partner, but mostly came to spend time with me and the boys. We met when I was pregnant with […]
A Foodie Pilgrimage to Sarajevo
I’ve become one of those people who holidays in the same place each year. I didn’t think I was that sort of person, but it turns out I am. I love to explore the world and embrace new and challenging holiday destinations, but when it […]

We’ve been meaning to get to Spain for some time and finally the moment arrived when AT and I agreed that it would make the perfect spot for our 2013 trip without the kids. The main reason we chose Madrid was to see the art […]
German Christmas Markets
Over the weekend my family met in Rothenburg, Germany for some festive family fun. We met on Friday night at the Guesthouse Eberlein and promptly headed towards the old medieval town for dinner at the potato restaurant. So called because of their flair with the […]
A Very Harry Birthday
My sister turned 30 on the weekend. A big moment in the life of a modern adult…a time for reflecting on what you’ve achieved so far and a time to consolidate and plan for what you’re yet to achieve. So for a serious milestone like […]
