NOSH Super Brekkie is a new breakfast drink / meal in a bottle. (I’m not sure I want my meal in a bottle, but there you go.) It’s a healthy yoghurt / fruit / super food style breakfast which is kind of a mix between a yoghurt pot and porridge, with fruit. The aim is that it’s a […]

Leche Frita – a Spanish dessert
One of the best things about being on holiday is trying out food you’ve never had before. In Menorca, we like to order from the Menu del Dia, especially at lunchtime. It’s terrific value (normally about €15 for three courses), and has great local dishes on it. There also plenty of fresh fish options, which […]

Rola Wala, Trinity Kitchen, Leeds
I love a good curry, but the thought of having one at lunch time, on the go, isn’t really feasible, is it? It’s generally quite a time consuming affair, with all those bits and bobs to bring together, and then there’s the food coma that comes after it. Well, that’s how it’s been until the arrival of Rola Wala. […]

Pullet Eggs this Easter?
This Easter, The Local Pantry is giving away pullet eggs to customers that buy an Easter treat in their cafe and shop. I had never heard of pullet eggs before (and I keep chickens!). They are small eggs, that are produced by chickens when they first start laying. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with them, but due […]
La Bistro opened in Horsforth a couple of weeks ago, and we were rather excited as it’s just up the road from us. It looks great. There are twinkly lights on the trees outside, which is a good start (“CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!”, exclaimed Emilia). The interior is modern, clean, and there’s plenty of wood and brickwork […]

The Fish Van
I had a knock at the door recently, while the tots were whirling and screeching, and I was inefficiently throwing food around in the kitchen. I was ready, with my expression curt, to quickly dismiss the irritating window sales-person, or charity door knocker I expected to find. Instead, I found a very friendly fish man […]

Cabana, Trinity Leeds
This is a rather late review due to Christmas festivities getting in the way! So APOLOGIES. But, here goes… Cabana launched in Trinity Leeds at the end of November. This successful London based business chose Leeds as it’s second city to make home, and I, for one, am rather happy that it did. It’s Brasilian food, with a Brasilian outlook of ‘tudo bem’, […]

LAB, Leeds
LAB is found directly opposite First Direct Arena. The area surrounding it is fast becoming a popular spot. Gone are the times of furtively scurrying through the bit above the Merrion Centre, holding on tight to your bag with your phone in hand, ready to dial. It’s certainly busier, and there are more and more places opening […]
The Local Pantry is a shop and cafe in Leathley, near Pool, Otley. It celebrates local food in all ways, and has a well stocked shop with fresh cakes, meats, breads, cheeses, ales, fruit and veg… anything you can think of really. It even stocks my most favourite pizzas of all – by Box Pizza. […]
My second night out since having Tot 2 was spent at Gusto, with some great friends of mine. I was feeling a little on edge, to be honest. I’m not used to the bright lights of freedom, or the art of conversation without jiggling an infant whilst also making a cup of tea. My sleep deprived […]
