Let the New Year Be-Gin – Welcoming in the New Year with McQueen Gin
Last December, EdinburghFoody’s Amy took a trip to Callander, to have afternoon tea at The Roman Camp. Callander and its surrounding areas, such as Loch Katrine also happens to be one of Kerry’s favourite places in the whole of Scotland, for its fantastic views, cycle routes around Loch Venachar and…
Paolozzi Cafe at Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
Five years ago, working on a temporary contract for a public sector organisation near the Gyle, I used to take lunchtime walks to get my cultural fix at the Royal Bank of Scotland building nearby where the Wealth of Nations Sculpture by Eduardo Paolozzi sits. Closer to home now, I…
Hula Juice Bar and Cafe – the perfect place to start your new year healthily
When I was invited to try out Hula, described by the PR as ‘two gorgeous Vegan/Vegetarian-friendly (but not exclusive) health food restaurants in Fountainbridge and The Grassmarket, I didn’t automatically jump at the chance. Call me shallow but the word vegan always gets my hackles up. It was only when…

I’ve been eating a lot of yogurt – specifically Greek – recently and had the thought of making my own. It’s easy, said the recipes I read online and in my cookbook. It’s satisfying, thrifty and domestic-goddess-like, said my head. So, off I went.
World vegan month: the postman brought my breakfast (and lunch. And dinner.)
Veganism is increasingly popular: some go plant based for the environment, some for the animals, some for health. Whatever the reason, it’s changing the food landscape. There are a host of vegan options in my local supermarket and new companies pop up online all the time. I decided to try a…
The Balvenie introduces Stories range to The Century Club members
When I won the Judges’ Award for the Reader’s Recipe at the OFM Awards 2016 for my Whisky, Orange and Almond cake, I said I was on a mission to try to get all my friends to appreciate Scotland’s national drink. I’ve now found some fellow females who seem to…
