A meal at Dum Biryani House, Soho

A meal at Dum Biryani House, Soho

***this restaurant has since closed down*** I have never been to India, and I do not know that much about the country either, although I have eaten Indian food plenty of time of course, often also making home made curries following Anjum Anand‘s recipes (which I find perfect for home cooking). One of India’s regions (and a large one with a long heritage behind too) is Andhra Pradesh, which is on the south east coastal side of the Indian subcontinent. Reading…

Ciao Chow Canine Bakery – an inter species dinner

Ciao Chow Canine Bakery – an inter species dinner

A tweet from @Ciaochowbakery had caught my eye – a bakery for London dogs and their human companions! Their mission statement even more tempting: ‘In response to years of Frappucino envy, a Kickstarter campaign is helping London’s canine population to fund a café to call their own.

I really thought @bmcboy would  enjoy some British fare with a modern take. So we went. The entrance is quite grand. I was immediately reminded of those posh restaurants I would visit with my family when I could not afford to eat out on my own expense. Apron and tie clad…

A meal at Bob Bob Ricard, Soho

A meal at Bob Bob Ricard, Soho

When I have VSG (very special guests) visiting from Italy, I usually try to find new, appealing and interesting eateries to treat the guests and make their London stay as enjoyable as possible. After an extremely good and unplanned meal at Baltic the night they arrived, a couple of days later I took them to the pre-planned, pre-booked Bob Bob Ricard. Having read amazing reviews from fellow bloggers (London Foodie and Cheese and Biscuits amongst others), I felt it would…
