Competition Closed Congratulations to our winners. Looking forward to seeing you at Foodies! Foodies Festival – 7 to 9 August 2015 The official start of summer is just around the corner and there’s no better way to celebrate the season than with a refreshing glass of wine and some mouth-watering Spanish…
One Square is fast gaining a reputation of being the place to go to discover gin. Not only does it have its own in house gin, but they have more than 60 different brands that their knowledgeable gin concierges can advise upon. So it makes perfect sense that a gin themed…
We’re lucky enough to be asked to try all sorts of things from different foods to apps. Sometimes, these don’t warrant a whole post to themselves and don’t quite fit into our newsletter, so we thought we’d include a monthly round up of things we love. The best place to drink…
Meeting up with my friend L for lunch doesn’t happen too often. She is usually whizzing all over Edinburgh in her role as a carer. Lunching at the Blackbird proved the ideal place to catch up. We wished the day had been hot and sunny so we could have basked…
The diners all agreed this was the best Sunday lunch in a long time. Why didn’t we have roast beef and Yorkshire pudding more often? It ŵas a firm fixture of our childhood. The fact that it happened to be a Tuesday evening and that this was the FIFTH meat…

Was there a time when it was odd to have coffee flavoured foods? When did we have the first coffee cake, or Café Liègeois (a gorgeous ice cream/coffee dessert)? Now no one blinks an eye. Why do we use tea so little in our cooking? After all we drink so much…
It was one of the sunniest days of the year (so far) and I am chatting to Graham Savage co-owner of Cuckoo’s Bakery with Vidya Sarjoo. “It’s been an amazing 4 years.” he explains “Imagine, 4 years ago it was just Vidya and myself and one baker. Now, we have a…
