I love Japanese food but the stuff worth paying for is usually quite pricey – so occasionally, I make it at home. My sushi has had limited success (to be fair, most sushi chefs train for decades) whilst my ramen gets better every time. I can’t get enough of the umami-rich noodles…
A trip to a fancy restaurant is always a treat but the fantastic weather on Skye the day we visited Three Chimneys made the visit near perfect. Crisp blue skies, still green lochs, sunlight bouncing off the bright white cottage. Better still, as soon as we pulled up, the smell…
I love the idea of Kitchen Trotter. Each month they provide the opportunity to discover a new cuisine in the comfort of your own home by delivering a box of ingredients from a different country. Would it be as good in reality?
Passing St Patrick Square on my way home, I thought I’d duck in and grab a couple of burritos from Illegal Jack’s. I’d been to the outlet on Lothian Road back in the day and followed their Kickstarter (or “Jackstarter”) closely, so it was about time I saw how they…
