I love Japanese food but the stuff worth paying for is usually quite pricey – so occasionally, I make it at home. My sushi has had limited success (to be fair, most sushi chefs train for decades) whilst my ramen gets better every time. I can’t get enough of the umami-rich noodles…
This is our take on New Year’s resolutions. These are ones that are manageable and we’ll do our darndest to keep. Of course they are all food related. There have been articles about what the must have ingredient will be in 2016, about what the new trends will be. These…

Edinburgh folk are breathing sighs of relief as the city returns to normal. We’re all hooked on Great British Bake off and are always looking for tasty treats. Autumn is not going to be that bad is it? The monthly “Things we Love” grew out of the section we have in…
Time passes so quickly in August and great things could pass you by. Our plan for this section is to give you brief ideas of foodie things that you shouldn’t miss. Bookmark and check back often. Foodie Popups and Comedy Singh’s Road Trip at the Apex in the Grassmarket Tony Singh…
