Café Paradiso – Cork
I recently visited Ireland with my husband and was blown away by its beauty and the friendliness of everyone we met. We stayed in Cork and quickly discovered that Ireland is a nation of foodies who are lucky enough to have some incredibly tasty ingredients grown on their doorstep. We found that we structured our […]
Picture Restaurant – London
Picture Restaurant is a small modern-British establishment that serves wonderful food in a relaxed and toned-down atmosphere. Situated just behind the revamped central London BBC offices, it is often awash with BBC executives looking to finish their long day with a plate of something lovely, and do doubt; a glass of something bubbly. I recently […]
The Ethicurean – Bristol
I was a little apprehensive about going to the Ethicurean as I was worried it might not live up to the hype. Friends based in Newcastle have heard how good it is and managed to shoehorn it in to their holiday en route to Cornwall. Luckily for me I wasn’t at all disappointed. The drive […]

It is set in an imposing but decorative red brick building, indicative of the architecture belonging to most of the buildings owned by the Grosvenor family in that part of the world. While I quite like the building’s appearance, its […]
Pho Hanoi – Bristol
Pho Hanoi is an unassuming restaurant on the vibrant Gloucester Road in Bristol that serves beautiful Vietnamese dishes at incredibly low prices. I ordered crispy vegetarian spring rolls to start which had a surprising rich and curry-like flavoured filling. For my main course I had Pho Vegetarian. Out came a huge bowl of steaming broth […]
The Adventurous Vegetarian Cookbook
I was lucky enough recently to obtain a copy of a new vegetarian cookbook, The Adventurous Vegetarian by Jane Hughes. The tag line reads: “Around the world in 30 meals”, which feels as though the book might be a little light in recipes. However, it isn’t. In fact, Hughes takes us on a tour of […]
