Cooking, eating and drinking is fun as well as necessary. I do food for fun and I write for a living. Good food makes the world a more delicious and satisfying place. Good writing, meanwhile, can make the world a less confusing place.

Edinburgh Foody’s been going since 2010. It’s been wonderful to be part of Edinburgh’s ever-changing dining and food scene for the last decade. We have had so much fun, met so many people, ate so much food.
I wrote about Edinburgh restaurants that deliver at the beginning of lockdown. As the situation normalises, a number of chefs are returning to the kitchen, doing what they can to get food out to customers. We’re not going back to restaurant dining ‘as usual’ anytime soon. Here’s a list of…
The first restaurant I saw do a special delivery menu for lockdown was Merienda. Now, many weeks later, a host of restaurants have joined. It’s a wonderful idea. Here’s something that delivers excellent food to locked-down, pleasure-starved customers sitting at home, and gives businesses a chance to continue making some…
You’ve probably seen the adverts for coffee bags, the one where someone says ‘why haven’t we thought of that before?’ and you get a series of glimpses of when people did have the idea but it was lost for whatever reason. I’ve seen them. Now, I’ve tried them (although not…
The restaurants listed here are ones that don’t also offer produce. There are more restaurants out there that deliver and we will update this list as we come across them. Meanwhile, here are nine brave restaurants that have adjusted to the current situation and work hard to keep us culinarily entertained…
In these uncertain and stressful times, cooking is helpful. It keeps you busy inside and gives you delicious things to eat. We were already cooking most of our food from scratch but have extended that habit to treats like biscuits and cake. It keeps us out of trouble and off the…
Love mediterranean food and produce? I do. On a dreich Edinburgh Tuesday with 89% chance of rain I welcome anything that evokes the scent of sun-warmed sandstone, eucalyptus, lavender and a salty sea breeze. Lucky for me, a Mediterranean feast is coming to Edinburgh this year.
It’s a pretty rare thing that the Edinburgh Foody team gets together but this week we managed to find a date. Amy, Kerry, Maureen and I met up at Hey Palu, the Italian bar on Bread Street. It’s true: we don’t just eat, we also drink.
Every now and then, we’re offered products to review. Over the last couple of years, we’ve had a few offers for CBD products, from chews to beauty products. I’ve not accepted any of them because I’m not particularly interested in CBD (and we do food, not supplements). Then I was…
Last week I sat comfy in the window of 83 Hanover Street, sipping a Sundaytini and watching the rain and hail pelt the stairs outside. There are few things I like more than being inside when the weather outside it high-level awful. I was very glad that I’d braved the weather because…
