My life evolves around food. I’m Mediterranean, and if I meet a friend, it will be over food. In French, I’d call my friends “copains”, those you share bread with. I’ve had entire city breaks centre around food, and love eating out and discovering new flavours. Other passions are cocktails, ice cream and coffee. This is where I file the reviews of places I eat and drink at.
Time to read: 4 minutes Of all the things that the lockdown has robbed me of, I believe that lunches are the one I miss the most. Going out to get lunch with colleagues was not easy. My colleagues are 85% men, and tend to power-walk everywhere. I am shorter than them, so I never wore heels because heels make […] continue reading »
Time to read: 3 minutes You don’t have to only go to Greece in the summer. I mean… it’s AWESOME in the summer. Especially if you like spending time on a beach to read, listen to music, play some tavli (backgammon in them foreign parts), drink cold coffee, and swim. But if you’re not into any of those things, then […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutes One of the problems I’ve always had is that I my hands are hyper-sensitive to heat. In itself this is small, but in 2017, I decided to stop having milky coffees. I’ve never digested milk very well, and it was time to stop it again. So it would be mostly americanos for me in 2017! […] continue reading »
Time to read: 4 minutes I know it doesn’t look appetising, but trust me, it was delicious. Squid ink pasta, rocket pesto, salmon, tomatoes, mint. This is how my flatmate and I came up with the recipe… And how you can repeat it at home! One sunny Saturday, I was working at home (on a personal project, don’t freak out) […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutes This is probably one of the hardest reviews I’ve had to write. Because, ultimately, while the food was pretty good, I don’t think I’d recommend the place, nor would I go back. Why not? A bit too disjoint and French. We are greeted by a lovely guy in a doorway. I’d already heard about going […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutes I have had a lovely day punctuated by utterly shit news: no internet for another two weeks at least. This is starting to impact my life a bit too much. Happily, today the weather was amazing. We had a proper summer day and so i decided to make greek salad. Here is how I made […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minute If I were to sum up sketch, it would be “a constant surprise”. Between the “marelle” drawn on the floor at the entrance, the fairy forest bar, the delicious cocktails, the nearly alice-in-wonderland main dining room and the borderline clockwork-orange-lookalike egg-shaped toilets… well… sketch simply does not stop surprising you. All I had was a […] continue reading »
Time to read: 3 minutes So I’ve decided to finally write about where to I find good coffee in London. My first ever caffeine-inspired post is about the top three (four since 2012) coffee chains. I used to hate coffee, down to the smell of it, due to parental associations with cigarettes, wasted time, late nights, and general bad health. […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minute Salad for Saturday’s dinner. rocket spinach avocado apple fresh mozzarella barbecue flavour peanuts smoked ham Dressing olive oil balsamic vinegar honey Came out delicious. Shame i took no photos. Apple may have been my favourite bit :) […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minute London – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – Italian & Pizza Real and proper, uncut and on a wooden board, pizza al metro. Delicious base, excellent toppings, generous portions. Shame the place got so crowded that we couldn’t get a hold of a dessert menu in good time. On our next visit we’ll have to […] continue reading »
