Grana Padano at Taste of London 2016 – Danilo Cortellini’s Masterclass

Grana Padano at Taste of London 2016 – Danilo Cortellini’s Masterclass

I was invited yet again to volunteer for Action Against Hunger at Taste London this year; initially I accepted but then I found out that MasterChef the Professional finalist and all around nice guy Danilo Cortellini was hosting cooking masterclasses with Grana Padano, which, in all honesty, was a much more attractive way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Before the masterclass (we had booked the afternoon session) myself and my friend Camilla browsed the festival, happy that the weather seemed…

Visiting Manhattan: Flatiron, West Village and the High Line

Visiting Manhattan: Flatiron, West Village and the High Line

I am a little bit in love with NYC. It is different, exciting, easy to criticise and compare to London, full of things to try and do.

Apart from mouth-watering photos of breakfast food, they really love the history of food. We…

You are being watched… A.I. is a little scary. I am addicted to US TV drama Person of Interest and while loving my iPhone and iPad I never got an iWatch and discarded my Fit Bit as soon as I reached my desired weight, bored of tracking every little morsel of food I ate and any steps I took. But it’s coming. And fast. Our lives are being integrated by tech more and more and Nespresso, a brand always on…

Bruges
Easter weekend in Bruges, Flanders

Easter weekend in Bruges, Flanders

“There’s never been a classic movie made in Bruges until now. (In Bruges, 2008) Since the summer’s long way down and back, I love using our car for long or short car trips. We can take the dog, we can explore and avoid airport queues. For Easter this year, we opted to cross the channel again, and spend a couple of days in the historic town of Bruges. I had only visited for a few hours many years ago, and…
