There are certain go-to meals that every household has and in ours it’s Spanish chicken stew. Super easy and quick to make, this one pot dish is a firm favourite of my other half and something I learned from my mum – who isn’t that big on cooking but loves a simple mediterranean style feast…
Crustless bacon and vegetable quiche
Sometimes I like to eat healthy food. Sometimes I like to eat healthy food that tastes like it’s probably bad for you; fake fatty food, I call it. When you’re trying to be a bit more healthy it can be hard to choose lunches – especially ones on the go. You need something that can…
Why I love eating @ Pho
I’m a big fan of Pho based in Grand Central. It’s my go to place when I’m in the mood for something tasty but vaguely healthy, and I often take myself off to the Vietnamese ‘street food’ restaurant for a working lunch. In fact, I like it so much I’ve taken my boyfriend, my mum,…
And with this pork pie, I thee wed
I’ve never been one for tradition, and my future wedding is far from the country retreat fresh out of the pages of a bridal magazine that most seem to choose. It’s not that I don’t appreciate the niceties of a ‘traditional’ wedding (I’ve been to many gorgeous churches, barns, stately homes and marquees and had…
Sushi sampling @ Wasabi, Grand Central
I’ve been mildly obsessed with Wasabi sushi since 2015 when I discovered the chain on a work trip to London. Having stumbled upon the takeaway sushi joints by accident (read: I was lost) my hungry belly was beyond happy to receive a selection of California rolls and nigiri. So much so that I went back…
Sweet treats @ Centenary Lounge
I pass through Birmingham Moor Street station at least 3 times a week, and have always been a fan of Centenary Lounge; the tiny cafe that takes pride of place in the main waiting area of the station. Offering a quiet slice of vintage respite in the always busy station, the Art Deco inspired cafe…
Chilli crab linguini
Hands up who loves pasta.. *watches every arm in the Western World spring up* Of course you do! It’s comforting, super-filling and is (usually) ridiculously easy to cook. Granted, without lashings of a tasty sauce your humble spaghetti doesn’t exactly ring all the taste alarms BUT I’ve recently been shown an easy way to get…
Sunday brunch @ Bistro du Vin
A few weeks ago I got to experience the famous Bistro du Vin Sunday Brunch at Hotel Du Vin, which sits right between the Jewellery Quarter and Snow Hill areas. My wonderful friend Flic gave me the lunch as a gift – she knows me well! – and we finally found the time to enjoy…
A grand brunch @ Yorks Cafe
Set just 100m from Birmingham New Street round the corner from Victoria Square, Yorks Cafe is somewhat of an institution with Brummies, in particular those city centre dwellers that know the unbridalled joy that a good brunch can provide. There are serveral Yorks in Birmingham city centre now (the most recent addition being in the…
Seafood and eat it
Just a quick post tonight to give a little bit of love back to Birmingham’s Indoor Markets; in particular the fresh fish counters and the top folk who work behind them. I was running some errands in the area and (after being hit with the familiar whiff the building tends to radiate) it occurred me…
Foodies… Assemble!
*peeks out from under duvet* Morning campers! Welcome to Bite Your Brum – a Birmingham-based blog geared to showing off all the culinary treats our fab city has to offer. I hope you’ll come with me on this new little adventure I’ve decided to set out on, which stems from both a love for all…
