On a walk yesterday in my local forest I was delighted to find more blackberries. As I rarely get an opportunity to gather these lovely berries and I love the taste so much, I decided to pick some. The next day I set out into the woods armed with a large plastic box. I spent …
Crazy art museum with eccentric food to match
On a day trip to the Tinguely museum with a friend, we decided that we would stop off for lunch first before going in. We wondered around the area, but could not find anywhere that suited our needs. Finally we decided to go to the restaurant within the museum. The restaurant had tables set outside …

NO Fuss Chia Pudding!
This little dessert is great when you are short on time, but still want a dessert to finish up a nice summer dinner. I find chia seeds amazing as they almost double in size, within a very short time and provide the texture and consistency of a thick creamy pudding with much less fuss. I …
Autumn Berries Bumping into Summer
Normally blackberries are found growing in the autumn, but this year with all this hot weather, mixed in with regular storms, the berries have ripened much earlier.

Stepping into Morocco
I was first introduced to this restaurant about three years ago. My family has this long standing tradition of going to a film festival in the winter with a friend and then going out afterwards to have a meal and discuss the film. That year, our friend, chose the restaurant we would go to afterwards. …
Spinach Pancakes
These are quick and easy to make. They make a healthy lunch or breakfast and can be frozen and then taken out and eaten on demand. Just place baking paper between them to prevent them from sticking together in the freezer. I have been researching food which will boost your mood and energy. I have …
Me So Crazy About Miso
One of the best things about going out to a restaurant is having a favourite dish. I have always loved finding new favourite dishes, as it gives me more reasons to return to the same restaurant. But the worst thing that I have found is when the menu is changed and your favourite dish is …
Cocktails in a Church
I have always thought of cocktails as something sophisticated. Something to do in a bar with soft music playing or to be enjoyed before a meal with friends. But my view on cocktails was all changed on one crazy night this summer. I had learned from my university about a cocktail event called “Cocktails in …
