I met a few friends for a bite to eat at the Ivy which I was really looking forward to.  I ordered the Ivy Burger as I had heard great reports about it but to be very honest, it was just average.  To be fair, there isnt too much that you can do to make […]

Met a few friends for a glass of wine in Carvossos, chiswick. This is one of my favourite places in west London. It was warm enough for us to sit outside under the heaters and the atmosphere was buzzing. Noone was very hungry but we did order a shared vegetarian platter  which came with Houmous, babaganoush, […]

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon in the Haven arms with some pals, working together on a fun video project.  By the time we had finished, we were all famished so ordered some food.  I took a notion of steak which I don’t order very often.  It was really tender and tasty and came served with chunky […]

I made these lovely tasty oat bran pancakes, seasoned with herbs for breakfast. I served them with smoked salmon with lemon juice and black pepper.  Home made and very healthy- tasty too!  

very bad planning on my part.  I bought these lamb shanks with mint gravy from Tesco as I had heard they were really good.  I didnt factor in the gravy element and really should have served potato or other carb that could soak up the sauce..  Instead I only had salad which was useless.  I […]

I do love a decent salad and it certainly helps towards my 5 a day.

I love making these simple little oatbran galettes.  I fancied somthing sweet this morning, so enjoyed them with raspberry jam.  the little pancakes were still warm from the pan so they were delicious

I was invited to the globe Theatre to participate in a wine tasting event and dinner, organised by the Chief Wine Officer.  I wasnt really sure what to expect but it turned out to be really good fun.  We got to sample an extensive range of champagnes, white, red and dessert wines.  I did have […]

I was at a meeting today and was presented with this as my lunch option.  I must say, I was pleased with this choice as it certainly was an improvement on the normal selection of dog earred sandwiches I get offered.  It came with a marinated chicken, breast, roasted red peppers, beetroot leaves and rice […]

This is a really simple, easy to cook recipe which makes a tasty but healthy supper Recipe 1 red pepper, halved and deseeded half a red onion, chopped 2 rashers of bacon 1 x small tin of tomatoes 6-8 button mushrooms, thinly sliced lazy garlic mixed herbs salt and pepper Bake the pepper in the […]

After a big meal last night in Annapurna, I feel the need for a dukan day to give my body a rest. I started the day with some slivers of smoked salmon drenched in lemon juice. Fresh but not too filling.  Its not too long ago that my doctor advised me to eat more oily […]

I met my friend for a quick bite in Chiswick and we happened upon the Annapurna.  I have heard of this restaurant and have been keen to visit for a while.  The restaurant is known for its Nepalese fayre and boasts of using a uniques blend of spices that are freshly ground in the restaurant.  […]

On a cold day there is nothing I like better than a serving of Pret soup and this Thai chicken is one of my favourites. It is hot, spicy and very filling. Even better with a pot of edamame beans!  

Having decided to use my tesco vouchers in Pizza Express, several members of my family and I debated the various items on the menu. Most of them opted for the Leggero pizzas which have the centre removed and salad in the hole. Its a good idea for reducing the calories but I think I would […]

I simply love Tesco clubcard points. I have been collecting them for years and mainly just redeemed them for cash in-store. It took me a long time to realise how much more valuable they are when redeemed on- line. I only really realised when I saw my sister using hers to pay for car hire, […]

I woke up this morning to a fastastic view of the beach where the fiilm Chariots of Fire was filmed. Before headin out for another day’s exploring, we enjoyed a hearty breakfast with lashings of tea. I chose bacon, beans and mushrooms which was delicious
