This time last year, my French grandfather passed away quite suddenly. I’d been thinking for a while the best way to commemorate the day, my grandmother will be holding prayers tomorrow in France but as we can’t be with her I wanted to do something. My grandfather Emile, far right, with my grandmother, his children and [...] This recipe comes to you by popular demand from Wolf Whistle, it’s not so much a recipe as ‘what can I make for dinner?’ The rice is a variation on the spiced rice I have made before and the grated salad is a brilliant side veg for summer which goes with anything from summer rolls [...] After a phone from my gran my dad was had a word in my shell-like, I often mention my French roots but my Irish side -which is a whole half- gets a bit looked over. So to celebrate St Patrick’s Day I thought I’d post my granny’s recipe for soda bread; don’t worry I will [...] Monki launched their Carnaby street store this week by holding a fun party with drinks, mini burgers and an amazing dj set with 90s classics. I really need their lamé light fixtures in my life. More light fixtures, how brilliant is this buoys chandelier? I spotted it in John Lewis at the weekend, love the [...] February is fashion month, but it also seems to be a bit of a birthday bonanza in my circle of friends. We celebrated with ale trains, fancy pub canapés, breton buffets and the climax of it all was a surprise birthday paella for one of my friends held at ours. It was a lovely day [...] I can’t believe I’m nearly at the end of my week in Paris, I’m really enjoying letting my inner French person out for an airing and slang update.

I stayed at the weekend over London Fashion Week, it made a perfect base for hopping to shows. I always wonder why bathrooms at home never match up to the feeling [...] It’s technically Monday, but let’s gloss over that little factlet huh? Can never resist a pork pie, especially with some pickled walnuts and a little mustard. Found a snow picture from the other week taken while messing about with a prism, Greenwich Park looking lovely. Check out the little paint bird feet and through the [...] Namaaste restaurant is on Camden’s busy Parkway and you could be forgiven for walking straight past it, which is what I did. Once inside it’s all modern decor and fancy lighting. Word to the wise, or as my teacher used to say ‘Avis aux amateurs’, wearing a tight leather skirt really isn’t a good idea [...] I woke up with a real craving for a US-style breakfast on Friday, I was specifically craving Ella’s skillet eggs. I don’t think I will ever forget them, not least because I was out of my mind on jet lag when I ate them, but also because the hearty combo of eggs, potato, peppers and [...]  |
