Porn Stars & Pearl Necklaces At Beach Blanket Babylon
There’s nothing more fitting on Valentine’s Day than a few naughtily named cocktails and a little innuendo. So on Feb 14 I found myself having a Pearl Necklace at Beach Blanket Babylon, Shoreditch. BBB is one of my favourite destinations for cocktails in Shoreditch, a luxurious respite from the endless grimy pop-ups, whilst still stylish…
BiBimBap – Get It While It’s Hot!
Korean dining is THE “It” food this season so I tried out one of London’s most modern Korean outlets, Bi bim Bap in Soho. The restaurant is named after the signature dish, Bi Bim Bap, a hot stone bowl filled with rice and various toppings (10 topping options to be exact). There are also various…

The Mysterious Afghan
Yesterday was Waitangi Day, the closest thing there is to “New Zealand Day”. To celebrate I baked, for the first time, Afghan biscuits. This is a traditional Kiwi biscuit, with no known link to Afghanistan itself. The origin of the name remains a mystery, and the Kiwis are staunchly protective of this biscuit’s NZ roots. Photo…
