The Foodie In: Auckland
Auckland is awash with new bars, pop-ups, cafes and restaurants. The development of Britomart for the Rugby World Cup in 2011 and the make-over of old favourite Ponsonby means the Auckland night-life is no longer something of an embarrassment when one has international visitors. It’s two years since I’ve been back to the city I…
January Diet Resolutions With M
It’s incredibly difficult for a foodie blogger to stay thin without resorting to ill advised bulimia. Post Christmas is the most difficult time to fit into one’s clothes, so I’ve turned to a nifty little app called My Fitness Pal (FREE) which counts calories and scans bar-codes. This app has allowed me a platry 1200 calories…
EVENT: Mr Fogg Meets Africa
The International Foodie is all about the combined joys of travel and food and how an eating experience is such a key element of enjoying other cultures. With that in mind an upcoming event at Mr Foggs caught my eye. Mr Fogg has teamed up with fellow explorer, Levison Wood, for an evening talking about his most…
Foodie In Lagos: Seafood Dreaming
Portugal is a seafood lovers dream, not only are the shellfish plentiful but they’re extremely cheap. Portuguese food is often sneered at for its inelegance, and it’s true that it is not presented in a fashionable manner (tiny portions, artisan smears of sauce… Etc). Food is hearty, and served generously, extremely generously in Lagos. This…

A Day In Casablanca At Hassan II Mosque
How To Spend A Day In Casablanca Casablanca may be known for the classic film and it’s Art Deco architecture, but it’s a newer attraction that drew us to the city on this occasion for a day in Casablanca. The Hassan II Mosque is the biggest in Morroco and one of the largest in the…
Moretti Gran Tour London
Last weekend I had a taste of Italy in my own East London backyard, or back Alley in this case. The Moretti Gran Tour London is back after a successful summer run with “The Winter Edition” at The Lofts. “The Lofts” is PR speak for empty and hard to find warehouse space, but this makes the perfect…
Lantana, The New And Improved
Lantana, formerly known as Salvation Jane, has been a Salvation to an Antipodean very much missing a corn fritter brunch. This Old Street Aussie eatery was crowded when we visited on a late Saturday morning, and as such service was a bit haphazard. But although our order was lost and our coffee delayed the staff…
The Kerouac Shack
Just when I thought I was over the pop-up phenomenon they went and reinvented themselves, as pop-up 2:0. This new phase is all about interactive experiences, as The Kerouac Shack demonstrated with an evening of 50’s Americana, beat poetry and jives. Held in a working petrol station in Kentish Town (think strict smoking policy and…
