I love that you feel you can travel the world while living in London – well in a foodie sort of way you can. My last restaurant story was about Portuguese food and today we’re heading into Scandinavia. The food of Aster is a mix of Executive Chef Helena Puolakka’s Nordic heritage and her French […]
Time for some authentic Portuguese dishes at Bar Douro. I’m having a bit of an exciting time discovering newly created parts of London! Sounds strange, but this City is constantly evolving and today when I walked from Waterloo Station in search of Flat Iron Square everything looked totally different from when I worked in the […]

It’s the road that runs north to south from Shoreditch High Street to Whitechapel High Street though the East End district of Spitalfields. Carved out of slums in the mid-19th century it was soon made notorious by Jack the Ripper and is home to […]

Also a good place to get lost – you certainly won’t go hungry or thirsty here. When I […]

The Barbary takes its inspiration from the Barbary Coast – an area around the Atlas Mountains which includes Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and […]
