Have you heard of Birmingham’s first zero-waste sustainable shop on two wheels yet? Say hello to Pedalling Pantry. Launched last spring and run by Jas and her family, this unique proposition offers high quality groceries from local producers and independent businesses all delivered to your door on an environmentally friendly cargo bike (called Babs) or…
Today I have the most easy to follow recipe for you, I’m not sure I can even justify it as a real recipe. But when I put this meal up on my Instagram a few of you seemed to think it looked good enough to make yourself, so below you’ll find the minimal ingredients required….
I recently wrote a post about the best Sunday dinners in Birmingham, but I think I’ve got a new addition to that list. Step forward The Wolf in Jewellery Quarter. Ian and I have always really enjoyed this pub, found about 10 minutes walk from Snow Hill. The tap beer selection is great but it’s…
Recently I spent an evening at Rico Libre in Digbeth with some good friends. We laughed and gossiped, ate far too much and polished off a decent amount of wine for four women who all had work the next day. The coming together of friends over food is one of the reasons I enjoy tapas…
Before flying off to Rome for my birthday (sorry not sorry) I had a gorgeous lunch at El Borracho de Oro with some friends and family. The Edgbaston restaurant is somewhere I’ve enjoyed tapas before, and more recently I scoffed a lot of owner Emma’s grub at 1000 Trades, where she had a successful pop…
It was sort of bittersweet that I ended up losing my Itihaas virginity on the same day a spicy soup exploded in my (expensive, suede) work handbag. I arrived at the restaurant with a faint whiff of cumin about me (it’s always mildly disconcerting when a restaurant’s waiting area smells fresher than you) and had…
I stumbled upon Otoro Sushi one afternoon when I was buying some seafood from Birmingham Indoor Market. Yes, despite appearances (and my Instagram feed) occasionally I do cook for myself. Despite being slap bang in the middle of a indoor market that always has a fairly prolific smell of fish, Otoro was busy. And by…
A new month brings a new pop up to 1000 Trades, and I can’t deny I was absolutely buzzing to find out it was El Borracho de Oro taking over the kitchen. Led by El Borracho de Oro’s head honcho (and absolute gem) Emma-Louise Yufera, I was hoping for big Spanish flavours and some bespoke…
I’ve always had a soft spot for Lost and Found and this new-look version is top banana. Lost and Found on Bennetts Hill officially reopens Friday March 2nd, but last week some friends and https://zenithglobalhealth.com/cheap-generic-viagra-online/ I checked out the newly renovated bar to try the updated bottomless brunch. It’s a hard life.. no really it…
庆祝. Chinese New Year is upon us today (16th February) and across Birmingham you’ll likely find restaurants celebrating as they enter the year of the dog. With colourful and vibrant Chinese New Year parties being thrown and oodles of noodles to slurp, there’s never been a better day to visit some of the best places…
I haven’t shared any home cooking for a while, mainly because I’ve been out more than the cat over the last few months. I’ve been eating and drinking out pretty much constantly since we got married in October, but now it’s January (and my clothes no longer fit me) I thought I’d make an effort…
Have you tried the brunch menu at Natural Healthy Foods yet? Brunch is my third favourite word, after cheese and sleep. I like that it usually involves stupidly large portions and combines various ingredients that people would otherwise frown upon you eating before noon. Like most people I’ve got some favourite spots strewn across our…
New just in: The Dark Horse in Moseley does a ruddy good roast dinner Okay, so it’s fair to say over the years I have been quite the creature of habit when it comes to roast dinners. I’ll tell anyone that will listen about the massive Sunday dinners available for under £9 at The Sun…
Have you tried Pho Grand Central yet? Whilst it’s lovely to eat a big juicy burger or a cheese laden pizza (obviously) sometimes I want a nice healthy lunch. This in principle sounds extremely simple, however finding places in Birmingham city centre that offer interesting, tasty and satisfying healthy lunches can actually be a little…
