TTN Visits: Blacklock, Soho

It doesn't take long to sense a buzz around something foodie related in London. When i started to spot tweets buzzing about amazing Chops in Soho, I knew it wouldn't be long before I paid the basement at 24 Great Windmill Street a visit, and what better time than over a long Bank Holiday weekend?

TTN Visits: Hotbox, Spitalfields

Good Food. Good Vibes. Good Music and London. A few things that I really do love and are sure to set me in a good mood. Combining all 4? Well, serious happiness making magic occurs and thats exactly what happened when I paid Hot Box a visit at the weekend.

TTN Visits: DF/Mexico, Brick Lane, E1

Mexican food and good times go hand in hand like, well, Salt and Pepper (?). To celebrate our 7 year anniversary, we headed to DF/Mexico in Bricklane for a late lunch which turned out to be a very good choice indeed...

TTN Visits: Dirty Burger Chicken Shop, Whitechapel E1

One Thursday, with a warm evening upon us  and a day off work the next day, The Boy and I took a walk to Dirty Burger Chicken Shop to see what the hoo-hah was about....

TTN Visits: Wapping Market, E1

I do love a Food market. Its seems that in London these days, you don't have to search too hard to find one and stock up on delicious finds. My latest Food Market find is Wapping Market which I thought I would shine a little Blog light on....

Cape Verde 2014

After a crazy 6 months, The Boy and I needed some serious chill time together before what looks like another manic 6 months starts again... 

TTN Visits: Cheeky Parlour, Shoreditch E2

With a beach holiday the next day, and in need of a little 'me' time I treated myself to a Pedicure at Cheeky Parlour last week and was very impressed with the experience..

Basilico Pizza

I love pizza.... I think I say it often enough on here. Since being Gluten free- the discovery that Gluten Free Pizza can bee just as tasty as I hoped has been a revelation...

Mission: Birthday Brunching

Last Sunday was The Boy's birthday. He shares his birthday with one of our close friends so we double-dated for the day and boy did we have fun!

TTN Visit's: Rosa's Thai Cafe, Spitalfield's E1

This Saturday, eager for some serious munching, The Boy and I headed off to Shoreditch to check out the Urban Food Fest. 

TTN Visits: Voglia Di Pizza, Rome

Eating Gluten Free in Rome was not as easy as i expected. Okay, so I am known for romanticising everything but I did expect every shop to be able to offer me an abundance of Gluten free goodies seeing as Italians are renowned for their love of food. If you are a big pasta eater, and yet need to live Gluten free, then you will have no problem finding a bowl of gluten free Pasta to feast on. I haven't ever been a big Pasta eater so although grateful, was a little deflated. My real weakness is Pizza and boy was I happy to stumble upon little Voglia Di Pizza in San'Eustachio region of Rome..

TTN Visits: Roti Chai, W1H

TTN Visits: W Hotel London (for Gluten Free Afternoon Tea)

Warning: This post comes with high levels of moaning.

TTN Visits: The Edible Garden Show, Alexandra Palace

I don't cook much with Salt but when I do, the only Salt I use is Maldon Salt flakes because they are quite frankly the best. So when I was asked to be a Maldon Salt Ambassador and given tickets to attend this years Edible Garden Show at Alexandra Palace, how could I have said no?!

TTN Visits: Duck & Waffle, Heron Tower, City of London

Today, I had brunch in the Sky. After getting ourselves onto the waiting list for Brunch at Duck & Waffle about a month ago, we were given a slot for 2:30 today which brightened up our week considerably!

We decided to dress up a little, although the dress code is Smart Causal, I chose my newest purchases and instantly felt special (wearing heels and a Midi skirt has that affect on a sunny Saturday)....

TTN Visits: Flat Iron Steak, Soho

After trying, and failing, a number of times to get a seat in Flat Iron I was so happy when on a Friday off from work we managed to bag a table for a late lunch.

TTN Visits: Sea Salt Restaurant, Reigate

I am on the hunt for a Gluten Free Fish & Chip shop in London  so when friends in Surrey told me that a place in Reigate (about 30 minutes train ride from London Bridge) offered a gluten free batter- arrangements were swiftly made for a visit!

TTN Visits: Gourmet Burger Kitchen- Gluten Free Menu

Yes that's right folks,another well known chain has FINALLY got with 'The Now' and created a Gluten Free burger menu complete with Gluten Free bun!!!

TTN Visits: Taste of Christmas 2013

Christmas. A foodie’s dream season. A time when you can eat plenty, go for walks (to the pub) and if you’re not eating food, spend time thinking about your next meal. Oh I hope I am not on my own saying all that!

Taste of Christmas was on this weekend. In its new home in Tobacco Dock. Being a short walk from my home plus receiving an email telling me that with a code I could get a free pair of tickets, it seemed crazy to not go along for Friday night dinner and drinks.

TTN Visits: La Bodega Negra, Old Compton Street, Soho

Good friends that The Boy and I hadn’t seen in 2 years (we are evidently bad friends), had finally managed to offer us a date to meet up for dinner that we could do. There was a small challenge ‘take us to a restaurant in London with a USP’ - that’s Unique Selling Point to the average person.

I spent ages thinking of somewhere that had something different but somewhere that would suit everyone. As you can’t book for tables under 6 at ‘Dishoom’- I settled on ‘La Bodega Negra’ and I was really looking forward to eating a Mexican hidden away under a sex shop façad!
