When the nights close in and the wind gets chilly, I start yearning for warm and filling dishes. It’s a perfect time to investigate Edinburgh’s Indian restaurants. Last week, I visited Vinyasa, a cosy restaurant on St. Mary’s Street, just off the Royal Mile, on the same block as David…
I imagine my husband’s Great Grandfather, James Stewart, as quite a character. He ran a granite business in Aberdeen. He went off to the Paris International Exhibition in 1900 which was held just below the Eiffel tower and where they won a silver medal for a monument made of pink…
It takes 45 minutes to walk from my part of Gorgie to Potter Row. It’s a good walk to take before and after dinner, especially if you think you might be about to have a lot to eat. When I went to try out The Potting Shed, I had a…
On a truly glorious Autumn day, St. Andrews Square, Edinburgh was transformed into a whisky fête. There were tutored tastings with The Balvenie’s Brand Ambassador Dr. Andrew Forrester, and workshops with The Balvenie’s craft partners. Last updated by Bread Baker Danielle at December 13, 2013.
There’s a lot of energy in a Hard Rock Café this Thursday evening. The music is pumping, the shop is full of people looking at the merchandise, and the tables are full of people eating: families, couples, groups. I’m here to try the restaurant’s Smokehouse Range. Classic American recipes for…

For the middle weekend of Scottish Food and Drink Fortnight, MJ and I, along with friends Hannah, Alison, and Tracey (not to mention Scottish Food and Drink Fortnight’s very own Hannah Ewan) popped along to multi-purpose arts venue, Summerhall, for an evening of…well, I really wasn’t too sure what to…
As you may know, I grew up in England. Each Sunday, along with many other families we always had a roast for lunch. The leftovers from the meat were transformed into one or two dishes later in the week. We always seemed to have the meats in rotation, chicken, pork…
Sometimes things happen and you have to change your eating habits. Since C. was ill earlier this year, we’ve tried to purge his diet of egg and dairy. It’s sad to see the cheese go, but since we’re already almost dairy free, it’s not been the hardship you might imagine.…
I’ve recently been spending more time in Leith so have been exploring the best places for lunch. After one truly awful piece of quiche in one establishment, I came across the Shore Deli close by Martin Wishart’s restaurant in Fleur’s old premises. Last updated by Bread Baker Danielle at January…
