Sake & Spice - Moti Mahal - Covent Garden

I love unlikely food pairings.

It's a bit like living on the edge, wild and free.

And the best part? It feels a little naughty yet so right.

SIN (Salvation In Noodles) - Finsbury Park

2015 has been a pretty amazing year. It has been emotional.

I changed careers paths, made new friends and got a little more rounder by the end of the year than I started ahah but hey ho there's nothing wrong with a little more boootaaay!

Aaand there is no better way to reminisce about life and make plans for the future than with a large steamy bowl of pho.

#ZoMeeto at Sponge and Cream Bakery - Brixton -

J-Dog - Shoreditch - London

After being away, there is nothing I seem to want more than food that is just a little bit on the dirtier side.

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.

Donde Carlos - Shepherds Bush - London

Lately, I've been getting used to being completely left to my own devices.

There's something quite liberating having no one to answer to but yourself.

Just me, myself and I and I know exactly what I want and need...

Ceru - Fitzrovia - London

A few months ago, my foodie chum, my partner in crime, my chocolate sauce to my pudding decided it was a great idea to leave me and go overseas for a few months/indefinitely.

Even the most decadent, most filthiest, most delicious cake wasn't enough to cheer this sad little bean up.

Flesh and Buns - London - Covent Garden

I like being led downstairs. It always feels like I'm about to enter in somewhere naughty.

The atmosphere is pretty electric as you step down the stairs into a dark room with loud thumping Rock and Roll music.

Flesh & Bun' is the sister restaurant of Bone Daddies from Ross Shonhan.

Let's see if it lived up to the hype...

Chotto Matte - Soho - London

2015 is here! January marks the struggle to keep those damned New Year's Resolutions.

Sometimes, you just have to strike out every now and then. Give in to a little temptation.

Lately, I seem to have been appointed as Fairy Godmother.

I'm being undulated with requests on where to take a girl out for that all important Post-First-Date location.

Time to up the ante fellas, and seal the deal with the help of Chotto Matte.

It's dark, a little naughty and seriously sexy.

Marco Pierre White's Steak House - Liverpool Street - London

When you're stressed, you develop a few bad habits.

You give in to things, you wouldn't normally give in to.

You do bad things.

Sinful things.

Like this...

MissChu - Aldgate - London

"You ling, we bling!"

After seeing MissChu's slogan on their little delivery bikes, needless to say I was sold.

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.
