I was at the London Coffee Festival a few week ago (post here) and it was absolutely amazing! I had a great time trying out all the new caffeine hits coming out this year. There were so many wonderful products to try – the caffeine kick lasted me a good…
Baked Courgette Fries
Baked, fried, spiralised or just raw, you gotta love the humble Courgette (a.k.a Zucchini if you are American). It’s such a versatile vegetable and the possibilities are endless. I absolutely love them. My favourite however, are these amazingly simple Baked Courgette Fries. Oven baked to crunchy perfection, this healthy snack…
London Coffee Festival
You all know how much I love my coffee. I live and breathe the stuff! So when I was invited by the Union Hand Roasted Coffee to go along to the London Coffee Festival last week, I was definitely not going to say no. The London Coffee Festival is the…
The Wolseley
I like to to think I know the London restaurant scene pretty well. I make a conscious effort to try them all – the trendy new restaurants that seems to pop up regularly around town as well as those old London institutions that have been here long before I was.…

Refreshment For The Heart : Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, Vancouver
Named the world’s best city garden by National Geographic, the Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in downtown Vancouver is a real gem. Seb and I were having lunch in Chinatown when we happened to chance upon these gardens. Considering we had some time to burn that afternoon, we decided to…
Fall on Toronto Island
Toronto Island is great! It’s 570 acres of amusement parks, beaches (including a nude one), toy trains and yachting. It even has its own airport. With more than 2 million visitors each year the island is one of the city’s top attractions. Yes, it’s especially nice on a nice summer…
Wine Tasting at Niagara
When I was a kid, my idea of a perfect holiday would have involved a beach, sunshine and ice cream. Nothing else mattered. Although I still enjoy all of those things (especially the ice cream), I much rather a lovely hotel in a new city and a bit of wine…
