Simplee Aloe Review *

It's no secret that if you're Asian, you probably love a bit of the old Aloe Vera juice.

With the holiday season fast approaching, it's high time to learn a few cooking tips that make you look like a real chef whilst in reality you can barely even toast bread properly.

Am I right? Thought so.

A Day in Thailand - Top Things To Do

I landed in Bangkok, Thailand with just 24 hours before we flew to bask on the white sands of Koh Samui.

So what can you do in 24hours in Bangkok?

Survival tips in Bangkok - Thailand

Thailand is a strange and wonderful place.

The tone of your experience of Thailand can be set as soon as your feet land on treasured ground.

With Halloween just around the corner, this calls for an evening of gluttony!

Sushi Tetsu - Farringdon - London

Those who have been fortunate enough to get a seat at Sushi Tetsu, know of the trauma attached to finally getting that coveted reservation at this 7 seater restaurant.

Harumi and Toru Takahashi set up shop in a tiny alleyway in Farringdon, with only 7 seats at the bar. It's so eye wateringly small you have to do a double-take. It feels so exclusive that like Sushi Tetsu was opened for the night just for you.

Sushi Tetsu offer only sushi and sashimi.

Purity at it's finest.

Chocolate Chip Cookies - Recipe - Betty Crocker

These are THE BEST lazyass Chocolate Chip Cookies you just have to make at home.

I mean just look at them.

The Bell Pool Villa - Phuket - Thailand

There's just something spiritual about Phuket.

Since I started studying & working in London, I noticed that Londoner's have a real problem with impatience and are constantly rushing around. Myself included. Every second counts.

So, when I finally found the time to just pack up my things and fly half way across the world.

I turned off my phone, deactivated my emails and totally disconnected from everything.

That feeling of being isolated. Completely unreachable. It was paradise.

Big Easy - BBQ & Whisky Master Class - Covent Garden - London *

Man Vs. Food was and still is one of my FAVOURITE shows of all time.

Who doesn't envy Adam Richman, travelling all over America feasting on that fine ass BBQ.

Whilst we sit there salivating. Wishing we were thousands of miles across the Atlantic, getting our hands dirty eating that true American BBQ too.

If only there was some way we could get our hands on it?

Oh wait...

There is!

Since the Big Easy expanded their empire to Covent Garden, in London.

Making it that much easier to have a taste of that all American BBQ from the comfort of your backyard.

It's time to play catch up. Adam can't have all the fun.

The Perfect Birthday Breakfast

I was dreading my birthday this year.

Signs of an early mid-life crisis maybe?

Moti Mahal - Spice & Gosset Champagne Event - Covent Garden - London

I can shamelessly admit that I am probably the worst person to be sat next to at a dinner party.

I have serious self restraint problems.

So, if you see me looking smug with myself perched bang in the centre of the table, the worst choice you could make is to sit opposite or next to me.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Recipes: 2 Step - Chocolate Croissants *

Wearing that domestic halo can be tough at times.

Sometimes you just need to cut yourself some slack.

Hotel Chocolat and Jus Rol kindly sent me some goodies to toy with.

There was only one thing that you should make with such a bounty.

2 Step Chocolate Croissants were born.

Budapest - New York Cafe and the Thermal baths

The best part of going away on city breaks is the exploring.

Finding that hidden cafe that only you seem to know about, and wandering around winding pathways until you get hungry.

I've never been that person that plans where I go, life is more fun when you just go with the flow.

One of my favourite places that I ambled across in Budapest was The New York Cafe.

I heard whispers of it's magnificence, but never thought that I would actually stumble across it.

It was as if I was drawn like a moth to a flame.

The New York Cafe

Budapest - Exploring the Castle District

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that in December I was parading around Budapest.

I was only there for 4 days so I'm going to show you a snippet of the top few things that I did there.

So, Budapest is the capital city of Hungary, and consists of 2 cities, Buda on the west bank of the Danube River and is considered to be the Old City, and Pest is on the east bank and is the New City.

The Castle District

The Castle District (the best part of Budapest) is located in Buda - The Old City, and it is packed with historical sights, and attractions such as Fishermen's Bastion, The Holy Trinity Square, and The Royal Palace.

It's also up on a steep hill, so if you're adventurous like me - prepare to climb up that hill and you sure are going to be rewarded at the top with such amazing views.

Basically at the top of this...

Hello Budapest

Meet Teto. We met at the airport.

Recipes: 3 Step Nougat

If you've ever tried to make proper nougat before, you would know it involves waaaay too many steps; like boiling it, dissolving it, baking it and screaming whilst beating the crap out of it.

Aaand majority of times you end up with something that's just not nougat.

It's just a sugary, lumpy mess that no one wants.

But I've found a short cut...

Time For Tease - Burlesque Afternoon Tea - Kensal Green - London *

It's no secret that I spend most of my spare time lounging around in dark rooms, smoking cigars wrapped in my Hugh Hefner-esque robe, with sexy model-types hand feeding me steak sandwiches and topping up my glass with whiskey.

So naturally, I was invited to attend Time For Tease, a burlesque afternoon tea party.

The ingenius marriage of refined British afternoon tea with the wit and glamour of burlesque and cabaret.

Come take a cheeky peek into how I spend my afternoons ;]

Happy New Year my lovers!!

It's been a while since I've showcased my lazy cooking/baking skills.

So I thought I'd start off the new year with a sweet treat.

Eat Yourself Young - Simplyhealth & The Underground Cookery School - hosted by Kate Cook - London *

The holidays are only around the corner!

This means engaging in some serious gluttonous behaviour ;]

Ohh yess this is what the holidays are for!

Fortunately before I reached the point of no return with such debauchery, I was rescued by Simplyhealth & The Underground Cookery School; who sat me down for the 'Eat Yourself Young' workshop hosted by the wonderful Kate Cook.
