Millies in Leeds is a haven of healthy, well sourced, local food. It’s a great resource in Leeds, bursting with goodies, and I can never make it out the door without gobbling one of their freshly made cakes. Millies sources its meat from Tancred Farm, and I was given a few samples to try. Tancred […]

Soul Kitchen at The Wardrobe, Leeds
The Wardrobe has always served food, but it has never been a place that has popped up on my radar for it. I went a few years ago, ahead of going to see Daniel Kitson at the West Yorkshire Playhouse, and the food was ok, but not particularly memorable. Pre-theatre diners have become the sole […]

Summer is the time for BBQs and it’s been great to have a proper summer in England this year, with SUNSHINE, and HEAT. Crazy. To celebrate this, we had some good friends over for a BBQ last weekend, and it was a great chance to try out our new pizza stone… I’m not sure about […]
You will be unsurprised to hear that when abroad my hunt for delicious food does not cease. If anything, it grows, especially when in somewhere like Menorca, where fresh fish is in abundance and the fruit and veg are plump, sun ripened, and bursting with flavour. The quality of fresh food is so much higher […]
On the outskirts of Leeds is Italian restaurant, Gusto. This modern restaurant is beautifully designed, and is built around a 200 year old olive tree that is decked with twinkling fairy lights. It’s an open, welcoming place that has a terrace perfect for summer afternoons and evenings. The wood burning stove is open to see, […]
