I Love Burgers
I love burgers. I'm Going to Prove It: I’ve got an American Diner in my home. I’ve been to America more times than any other country. If I get a bad burger I cry. I make fresh burgers for my family every month (or I lose the will to live). We once had a party where I cooked the biggest Burger in Norwich – it weighed 5lb and was the size of a large paella pan, it was enclosed in a home-made sesame seed bun which took up the whole oven. If ever a new restaurant opens that specialised in burgers – I’m there. I know exactly how the best burger should be – I’ll prove that too.

My Guide to the Best Coffee in Shoreditch
Shoreditch is a neighbourhood just on the immediate eastern edge of the City of London. It was one of the first areas where the power of inner-city gentrification was demonstrated in the London's current regeneration cycle.

Judging a Restaurant
Today my children fancied chips and curry sauce, a bit unusual for a Sunday but I thought I would indulge them especially since my Northern hubby loves a good haddock and chips from a proper chippy. So after quite a long google search trying to find a good sit down fish and chips restaurant open on a Sunday – there we were tucking in to crispy battered fish with good ole soggy chips and a pot of luscious curry sauce.

My Guide to the Best Cafes in Hoxton, London
Towpath For most of the year, the Regent’s Canal in the Hoxton neighbourhood is best avoided — inhabited only by cyclists and joggers battling each other for space on the narrow canal-side path. Once the sun comes out though it’s a different story.

Health Benefits of Cooking at Home Vs Eating Out
There remains an intense debate among lovers of food over whether dining out or cooking at home leads to better meals. But better is a loaded statement. Better can mean better tasting. Better can mean more satisfying.

Eating the Real Iceland
There’s one essential thing to know about Iceland - it's 2 – 3 times the price of the UK, it may put you off but the stunning views, friendly people and divine food will make you forget about the credit card bill at the end of the month. Apparently, they dropped a few 0’s off their currency. It’s now approximately 130 krona to £1 or for calculations say each 1000kr is approx. £7.50.

Shaw Shank Lamb Redemption
In the good old days when ABC was singing about poisoned arrows and Jimmy Saville was well respected (I never liked him) lamb shanks were a thing of revoltingness with the fore shank and hind shank being a lower sheep's leg of connective tissue and fatiness, needing hours of old fashioned slow cooking to render it down to an edible state – you could get a shank for less than a pound then, after all it’s only a ‘Tibia’.

The Disappointments of Mexican Food in London
I love Mexican food. Done well, it's the the kind of food that instantly puts me in a vacation state-of-mind – firing my imagination with beach-side memories of margaritas and food trucks dishing out simple but delicious flavour sensations.
