Four years ago, I went to the second ever monthly meeting of the brand new cheese club, Homage2Fromage. Who knew that this club would not only spread cheesy joy to five other cities, but also create a new CHEESE CAFE? Amazing. At the top of the Merrion Centre you will find their beacon of local cheesy goodness. I […]

Northern Monk Refectory, Leeds
Northern Monk Refectory is found round the back of Leeds station, across the canal, in Holbeck. Please, don’t let that put you off – it’s only 5 minutes walk from central Leeds, and well worth it. The Refectory is on the first floor, and beneath it is the brewery, where many delicious beers are created. Like the […]

Croissant d’Or, Rawdon, Leeds
I was driving home from a meeting last week with a roaringly hungry tummy, and I was trying to get inspired about what I might make for lunch. However, I then remembered the contents of the fridge: apples, carrots, yoghurt and for some reason, an abundance of butter – it wasn’t going to be a good lunch. […]
Sophie Thompson was last year’s winner of Celebrity Mastershout (Terry Wogan coined that one) and now she has her very own cook book, called My Family Kitchen. It’s a collection of her own recipes, as well as ones from various friends and family members. It’s wholesome, it’s friendly, and it’s fuss free. The book is packed […]
Foodies Festival has been running in different places around the country for the last ten years, and this year it came to Ripley Castle, near Harrogate. The event was great fun. Tents, street food vans, tasting theatres, live music, a bar on a bus, a giant Pimms teapot and much, much more brought the site […]

Sebby’s Deli is a cosy nook of a cafe, found on Otley Road in Far Headingley, Leeds. It’s a shabby chic place, crammed full of cook books, travel books, beautifully ramshackle bits of furniture, chalk boards, pictures and postcards. It’s intimate, but not in an uncomfortable way. People are chattering away, sharing tables both inside and […]
Over the last few years, I’ve heard and read a lot about feeding issues for young babies (breast feeding difficulties, proper latch etc.) but I’d never really heard about babies struggling with solid food. Not wanting to eat it? Yes. Not being hungry? Certainly. But I had never heard about babies that simply couldn’t eat solid food, until I had one […]

BangWok, Leeds
Bangwok serves thai street food every lunchtime from Monday to Friday, on Sovereign Place right in the centre of Leeds. Their menu is brilliantly simple having just a few choices on the menu and each dish is made to order right in front of you (which is entertaining in itself). These chefs are good. Order after order […]
