I suppose if the bare minimum skills of a food blogger is that they are able to tell you exactly what they ate and how much it cost then I have failed in this post before I have even begun. The truth of the matter is that I simply have no idea. I don’t know…

Mac & Wild
A few years ago I had the pleasure of interviewing Andy Waugh, co-owner of Mac & Wild. He was entertaining, informative and endearing in equal measure. You can read that interview HERE. I have always enjoyed Mac & Wild, famed for their delicious and perfectly cooked cuts of meat and their dedication to providing and…
La Zoccola del Pacioccone – Amsterdam
La Zoccola del Pacioccone or The red wine district is not too much bigger than a hole in the wall. A traditional Italian style pizzeria with plastic tables and chairs, a hand written menu, nick nacks on the walls. It looks like it hasn’t changed since the 80’s, which I suppose is part of it’s…
An Ode to Gaby’s Deli
I was in Leicester Square a few nights ago on my way to watch ‘2001 A Space Odyssey’ and walking past the Gaby’s Deli, I learnt to my horror that they had closed down just a few weeks prior. When I first moved to London, knowing barely anyone and practically friendless, going to Gaby’s made…

My friends and I had been looking forward to it all week, and now we were at a loose end. Luckily there are an indefinite number…
The Great Chase – Modern British Halal Fine Dining
Come to dinner he tells me. It will be great he enthuses, they make modern British food; it’s halal, and they make amazing cocktails. No alcohol though – it’s a dry bar, no booze. Great cocktails! What on earth are you talking about? I think, but I agree to go, on the proviso that I…
Andy Waugh – Mac & Wild
I first met Andy Waugh, founder of Scottish restaurant Mac & Wild, a few weeks ago at a work event. I was happily downing the prosecco and he was presenting a haggis masterclass. It was the evening before Burns night, the perfect time to be learning about haggis. While I know intellectually what haggis is,…
