Positioned down a Dickensian style alleyway, behind the 300 year old Whitelocks, is a new venue, called The Turk’s Head. It used to be a function room for Whitelocks, which was rarely used, and in such a prime location it was crying out to be opened. It would have been easy to simply extend Whitelocks into this space, but […]
Easter is only a week away, so if your kids are getting stir crazy I have some great Easter craft ideas for them. (The ideas are outlined below, and you can find the methods on a post I wrote here.) Salt Dough Easter Eggs are easy to make, and you probably have everything you need in […]
I have one Caramel Chocolate Scrambled Easter Egg to give away! This hollow caramel chocolate Easter egg really shows off our chocolatiers’ artistic flair, painted with an exciting scramble of chocolate drizzles. It comes showcased in a beautiful foiled box with six Scrambled Pralines – our super-smooth signature praline recipe sealed in caramel chocolate. A special […]
Most of my Sunday afternoons are spent cooking a roast chicken with stuffing, roast potatoes, gravy and veg – it’s a perfect Sunday feast. However, the leftovers would often stare at me forlornly from the fridge, and I never knew what to do with them. We always buy free range chicken, so it’s not cheap and […]
A couple of months ago, I went to the much revered Pieminister (read more about that here), and today I returned to sample their brand new VEGGIE pie. I wouldn’t normally choose a veggie pie, as I’ve yet to come across one that sounds particularly enticing. However, Pieminister went all out to create something to tempt even […]
A brand new street food concept has landed in Leeds, and it’s all Italian. Wolf Street Food opened recently, providing fresh, quality Italian food, for busy people on-the-go. The name of the venture can be traced to the legend of Romulus and Remus (twin boys raised by a wolf, with Romulus being credited with the founding of Rome) and the fact that Italy’s […]
The next product up for review for The BBC Good Food Show is Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil. Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil is a natural product of high quality. You can it’s natural because it’s cold pressed (if oil isn’t cold pressed, chemicals are used to extract the oil from the seed). I sound knowledgeable don’t I?! Well, […]
The Rainbow Factory is an interactive adventure for children that brings stories to life. (If you haven’t been to the Rainbow Factory before, read my previous post about it here.) This weekend we headed back to there to explore the new theme that has just launched; SPACE. When we arrived, Emilia immediately became shy and nervous […]
Chaophraya is a Thai restaurant in the centre of Leeds, found tucked around the corner from the train station. It is named after the Chao Phraya River, which is Thailand’s main waterway, and the restaurant aims to take its diners on a journey through Thailand’s food by tasting the fresh ingredients and flavours from its […]
The Potting Shed is a unique pub in Bingley that unites ales with gardening. The theme is carried through the pub brilliantly well. In the centre of large wooden tables, earthenware garden pots hold your menu and cutlery. There are gnomes around and about the place, little nooks and crannies with mismatched chairs and garden pots lined […]
