YUMMEI

Jamie's Italian - Threadneedle Street - Bank - London *

I have a soft spot for Jamie Oliver.

Vivo - Angel - London

Dessert is the best ice-breaker.

First of all, you're supposed to share.

So... hello spoon action ;]

Secondly, let's be real if you're talking about chocolate and cream, you're already flirting.

Right, now all you need is a location.

So where can you find a place where all the desserts are displayed right in front of you - where you can shamelessly wander around pondering which one you want.

Say hello to Vivo.

Casa di Fiori & MyMink - Bond Street - London *

I was invited to the exclusive preview of MyMink's A/W '14 collection at Casa di Fiori.

An invitation to mingle with stunning models draped in fur, whilst sipping on delicious cocktails and gorging on canapés?

I thought you'd never ask ;]

The Reach Bar and Kitchen - Gallions Reach - London *

January has been a month of post-feasting depression.

It's that time of year where you stare at yourself in the mirror and say to yourself "Dayyym what have I become?!." *cry sulk cry*

We've all been there.

I feel your pain.

I have become a whale too.

I know some of you have already started those New Year's work outs.

Some of you have taken that extra mile and have started your New Year diets.

Good for you. Well done. Kudos.

BUT I've fractured my foot (toe), so til that's healed I'm just going to sit here proudly and show you ALL what you've been missing out on.

Obica - Fitzrovia - London

Sometimes all I want to do is escape.

Just run off to a secret hiding place, where no one can find me.

Living in the city can be abit too much at times.

It can often leave me with that strong urge to just disappear or teleport somewhere. Anywhere.

Thankfully, one fateful night Obika invited me into his lair.

He was warm, dark, and the best part?

He led me underground.. ;]

Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and into a quiet safe haven with dim, sultry lighting, and soft wooden furnishings.

Princi - Soho - London

I have a love/hate relationship with Princi.

I love the casual/slightly chaotic atmosphere, but I hate how there is no real system and how you really do have to hustle in there for a seat on the communal counters plus it is always busy.

Princi is a Milanese bakery chain, and is great for breakfast/lunch or dinner.

3 in 1 baby.

Princi serve up a huge selection of cakes, pastries, bread; there is a selection of hot foods such as lasagne, aubergine parmigana etc, slices of pizza, filled focaccia, and salads.

Here it is self service, and if you want anything from the different sections you would normally have to rejoin the queue for each.

However you can opt to the left of Princi and dine in their pizzeria, which offers table service and whisks you away to a more calmer side of Princi.

Soho Joe - Soho - London

I don't normally tell people these things, but...I have a new lover.

Want to meet him?

Say heyyyy to Soho Joe.

I was warmly welcomed into the arms of Soho Joe after ambling around Dean Street; the seduction of the candle light illuminating from within was just too much to resist.

Dark, warm, and sensuous.

That's my Soho Joe.

The Real Food Market - Southwark - London

Huge stonking beef burgers, giant simmering cauldrons of paella, chocolate dripping off cinnamon churros....

Got your attention yet?

During the time when September was still a sunny and happy place.

S. and I, wandered off to The Real Food Market located in the Southwark Centre.

Unlike many of the other street food markets, which only operate during the weekdays; The Real Food Market is open every weekend Friday - Sunday.

It's the perfect place to impress your date with your extensive knowledge of food, or even to just hang out with your friends and dip your fingers into some real finger-licking food.

So feast your eyes.

Champagne Champagne Champagne!

Hello there,

Desperately want to know where I've been for the past few months?

Well right now, that's not important; what you really need to know is that it was my birthday on Wednesday 19th September 2012.

There's only one way that I know how to celebrate.

So come let's spy on me.

Afternoon Tea in Knightsbridge Green Hotel

Bar Caffe Ciao - After Eight Ice Cream Waffles?! - Leicester Square - London

This little Italian ice-cream parlour, located south of Leicester Square perching on Charing Cross Road is Bar Ciao; and is quite simply the only place for desserts.
