Ask anyone with a management consultancy career, and I’m sure they will all tell you about the long hours, the intense workload, the inevitable instability, and other arduous tales and anecdotes – even if they, (like me), love what they do. But one of the best parts of the role can be the clever, dynamic…

Myrtle: Irish cuisine at its finest
First and foremost, Happy 2020 to all – even if a little delayed. Understandably, it’s a little difficult to feel happy about the new year as we approach what research suggests is the most depressing day of the year (20 or 23 January, depending who you believe, but I’d go with the 20th this year…
Candouni: all you could wish for in a Greek restaurant
I’ve been quiet the last few weeks; I’ve been on a much deserved holiday to the Cycladic islands in Greece. I’ve been to Mykonos and Santorini many times before, and I added a few new islands in my travels to satisfy my adventurous side. I enjoyed beautiful beaches, pretty scenery and delicious traditional Greek food……
Fumo and its Venetian style tapas
On a beautiful August day in London, I found myself with the great privilege of a guilt-free day off work and the opportunity to spend the day as a tourist in my own city. After a morning of walking through Fitzrovia, Marylebone, Mayfair and what felt like all of Central London really, I worked up…
Sinabro: refined cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere
Living in Battersea, I am often spoiled for choice when it comes to quality restaurant choices. Of course, I have my favourites where I am a regular and everybody knows my name, but sometimes, it’s fun to change things up, walk on the wild side and try something new. Sinabro has always appeared intriguing to…

This weekend marks the three-year anniversary of my MBA graduation, an achievement of which I am particularly proud and which I very much celebrated in style. A glamorous party was had, and I made sure my cake did the event justice. And so, to mark the occasion I’ve decided to write a special edition post…
Lurra: modern Basque cuisine
Tuesday night, my colleague and I decided to treat ourselves to a grown-up evening of fun by attending a Toastmasters evening to further develop our public speaking skills, and to kick it off with a special dinner. I can’t take credit for this discovery: she proposed Lurra to me and, with little knowledge besides its…
Simple pleasures bring authentic joy at Saporita
Having left Italy for London nearly sixteen years ago, my time in London has partly been spent on a quest to find my favourite foods from when I lived there. And, over time, I had learned to say that London is special because it’s a cosmopolitan city that brings so many cultures and cuisines together…
The Fat Duck: the experience.
When one of my dearest friends planned to fly in from Australia and suggested I take a day off work to feast in a place which has been named “The World’s Best Restaurant”, I was beyond delighted: he couldn’t have asked someone more enthusiastic. Before I get started I must tell you that: The Fat…
Modern meets traditional at Michel’angelo, in Capri
Meandering through the narrow, curved streets of Capri, where I vacation pretty much on a yearly basis, my friend and I happened to stumble on a new and original find. Michel’angelo is rather unique among restaurant choices on the island. Yes, it takes the traditional, puts a modern twist on it, and turns it into…
The Discerning Epicure
