You know how sometimes you go out and accidentally drink too much gin, and you can’t remember the details of the evening, but you’re certain that you had a fantastic night? No, that never happens to me either *cough*. I experienced it with a coffee and muffin though. At a cafe in Bath. It was so perfect that I…

Food! Beautiful food.
Eating has always been a significant part of my life. I grew up with Mum in the kitchen, claiming she couldn’t cook then effortlessly throwing out a spectacular spread. It’s how my family celebrate, we’re Jewish after all. We’ll find any excuse to eat. Jewish New Year isn’t complete without honey cake. On the ‘Day of Atonement’…

Tayyab’s
I have a confession to make which may shock you. Up until last weekend I had never been to Tayyab’s. The reason this is shocking (for the uninitiated) is because this restaurant is for all accounts an institution. Not only has it been serving traditional Punjabi cuisine since 1972, it is also so well known,…
A Rainbow Beigel Rant
When you live in East London and regularly eat bagels from Brick Lane, you tend to be a loyalist. You either go to ‘The Beigel Shop’ aka, the yellow one (called so because of their yellow sign) or ‘Beigel Bake’, the white one (with a white sign predictably). I always go to the white one….
