EdinburghFoody was invited to join other bloggers, food, travel and drink writers at the Chef’s Table at the Printing Press Bar & Kitchen at the Principal Hotel, to taste the very best of their seasonal dishes, prepared under the watchful eye of Executive Chef Colin Fleming.
Spice Girl’s South East Asian curry kits – as easy as 1, 2, 3
Who doesn’t love a curry? I certainly do. I’m not talking takeaways but a home-made version, thanks to a fantastic cheat product from Spice Girl. It really is as easy as 1, 2, 3 steps to a versatile curry dish that is different every time. So simple are the kits…

Edinburgh Cocktail Week – wristbands at the ready
Edinburgh Cocktail Week is fast approaching. Don’t miss out – make sure you’ve brought your wristbands in advance.
Seeds for the Soul – the vegan force is strong in Bruntsfield
A couple of weeks ago we went to Bruntsfield to have lunch at Thrive, but I had been tempted by the menu at Seeds for the Soul. Both menus appealed, but i had a hankering for comfort food: Caroline had set her heart on Thrive. We agreed to Seeds for…
