I am blessed to know many wonderful people, and so it was that after months of planning by some of my finest friends, last Saturday was my hen party. The course of events remained a surprise to me throughout the day, but without a doubt the highlight was our doughnut…
When I heard Bross Bagels was opening *literally* down the road from me I could barely contain my excitement. Salt beef! Lox and cream cheese! Bespoke pickles! A side of latkes! All the yes.
Billed as the first tasting menu in the capital to pair its dishes with beers and spirits, I was intrigued to try One Square’s newest offering. Having had an AMAZING time at One Spa a few weeks previously, I was looking forward to similarly high standards.
This was our third visit to the AECC for a Brewdog Punk AGM. Partner Raymond has been an Equity Punk since early in the scheme’s launch, whilst my career with small food businesses spurred a keen interest in Brewdog’s insane growth trajectory and marketing approach. Over the years, the AGM has grown…
Previously open only for brunch, the declaratively named establishment has now extended its offering – and opening hours – to include a supper menu. (Surprise!)

I’m already a fan of Civerinos. I love the ‘slice’ concept – more places should offer it – but I have also been known to enjoy their full 20” pizza. (Not alone!) Civerinos offer many varied toppings that keep me coming back, with a core selection and daily specials always available by the slice.
The Edinburgh Foody team had previously sampled the delights of private catering with La Belle Assiette, so I was only too happy to accept a similar offer. This time, it was the turn of passionate Sicilian cook Sabrina Damini to showcase her native cuisine.
In his most recent quarterly rant, fellow blogger and friend Lunchquest bemoaned “the arrival of the chain-dominated ‘cuisine quarter’ in St Andrew Square,” along with the expansion of the Christmas markets. It seems the rise of big names in the city centre has lead to a downturn in trade for local…
Prior to a recent holiday in South Korea, I have to confess I hadn’t eaten much Korean food. But it wasn’t long into my two week stay before I realised that “Korean” was my new favourite way of eating.
I was intrigued to learn that the UK’s largest privately owned hotel chain, Macdonald Hotels, has been teaming up with leading Scottish chefs to give their restaurants an edge.
