Nut butters – a bit of an obsession
I’m avoiding the cliché ‘nuts about’ but must admit to having a great space in my heart (and stomach) for nuts and the products made with them. Particularly nut butters.
Belted Burgers – From farm to fork
The last time I visited this Frederick Street venue it was a Chinese restaurant, Wok and Wine but it’s now been transformed into a Belted Burgers, where it’s all about the burgers and provenance is everything. EdinburghFoody was invited to join some other bloggers to find out more.
Gousto – living the mealbox lifestyle

The Spice Pioneer – Spicing Up My Life
I’ve been taken on a culinary adventure to Sri Lanka this week, without having to have left my kitchen. It all started with my New Year trip to Dubai.
The Seaweed Cookbook – superfood recipes from the sea by Xa Milne
Seaweed is a bit of a favourite ingredient of mine. I enjoy cooking with it and I enjoy the various things seaweed does for us. So when I was given a chance to review The Seaweed Cookbook by Xa Milne, I jumped at the chance. A whole book dedicated to…
Seasoned Pioneers’ spices conjours up happy memories of South Africa
The Beast from the East inspired me to revisit a recipe from warmer climates and thanks to some spices from the Seasoned Pioneers, I’m going to transport you to Knysna, South Africa reliving flavours and memories of somewhere I spent six months in 2003.
