Brilliant evening of pre- Christmas foodie fun at the #lksxmas event! Thanks @pavlovaandcream for catering to all our needs - and for putting together a fantastic night! Check out my instastory for loads more pics of the 7 courses we had! Also big love to my besties as always being wlling to try something new and for the husband's for coming along! 😘 #wycsnotwednesdays #dormposters #memories @cshezza @janeb1999 @claremarland @katewards

Throwback to these black forest pancakes from the Pancake house at Woburn Forest Centreparcs 😍 I could demolish a whole stack of these this morning! #pancakes #pancakestack #thepancakehouse #blackforest #centreparcs #centreparcsrestaurants #centreparcswoburn #breakfastofchamps #chocolate #chocoholic #sweet

My favourite Indian desserts are kulfi (like ice cream) and gajjar halwa (carrot pudding) - here they are joyfully combined and embellished! Another winning combination from @trishnalondon Check out my story for more mouth-watering food from this fine establishment 🤤

Lovely catch up with my bestie today over Roti, curry and pulled tea followed by Wicked the musical. What more could you ask for on a school night? Have you been to the new Market Halls in Victoria? The roti from Gopals corner is a must! I could have eaten 50 of those on my own (no joke!)

Oreo doughnuts. That is all. @meatandshake

I have an annual tradition to go to Stylist Live with two of my besties (you know who you are!) It's the best afternoon of pampering, eating, gossiping and shopping.. 💅🍩👯👛 Long may this tradition continue! Also loving this huge stylist mag cover floating front and centre in Olympia with a strong and successful Muslim woman representing! 🙌 Check out my snaps from Friday on instastories. If you're there today have a great time!

For those of you who missed my story on sunday, here's a few standout dishes from the Mzuri Khana supperclub. My mum is from Uganda and like many East African Brits she was forced to leave her country but she managed to bring a bit of her home back with her in family recipes. Usually mum cooks for us so it was about time she was on the receiving end! Aaliyah delivered nostalgic memories through every morsel of the classic dishes like Kuku paka and Chuku Chuku. She invented new flavour combinations and modernised the presentation through other dishes. Overall the experience was really great and the proof was in mums smile at the end! If you haven't been, I'd highly recommend the Mzuri Khana supperclub (im not being paid to say this fyi!) It was lovely to see recipes being passed down the generations and to finally see East African cuisine getting in on the London food scene. Aaliyah cooking with her mum made me want to get into the kitchen with mine! Thank you for a lovely afternoon @mzurikhana

Chuku Chuku - Delicious bowl of Zanzibari potato soup served with crispy lentil bhajis and cassava crisps. Another standout dish from the @mzurikhana Supper club today. Check out my stories for more... #chukuchuku #mzurikhana #eastafricanfood #eastafrica #supperclub #londonsupperclubs #yummy #food #nostalgia #mumsheritage #imparteastafrican

I'm obsessed with Ceviche. It's the food I craved most when I was pregnant and couldn't have! This is one of my all time favourites... The Tuna Nikkei Ceviche from @cevicheuk Where do you go to get the best Ceviche?

Trying out a few recipes from the new @ottolenghi cookbook SIMPLE today - my thoughts.. There's loads of amazing recipes, veg and non-veg. I ❤️ cookbooks with photos for every dish - You eat with your eyes first afterall! Jerusalem for a long time has been my favourite cookbook but this is a real contender. I like that the book narrows down on difficult-to-source ingredients and the recipes are actually quite simple but still delicious! Not sure all of these can be done in half an hour like the book promises but it's great that most dishes can be prepped in advance and then put together just before eating - this will probably end up being my go-to book for dinner parties. So here's the puy lentil and butternut squash warm salad - sounds straightforward but the combination of herbs and spices created a really unique flavour the likes of which I've not tried before. Even my husband liked it and he hates lentils so that's a first! 🙌 Would love to hear from you too.. have you bought this book? What were your favourite recipes?

Fact: Michelin starred tomatoes taste better. Oh and that turbot 😍... Take me back! @bratrestaurant What do you guys think of the restaurants getting a hot seat on the Michelin list this year? Here's a pic from my dinner at Brat - one of the newbie one-star restaurants. I can claim I was ahead of the trend! 😉 #brat #bratrestaurant #michelinstar #newmichelinstar #spanishfood #basque #charcoal #turbot #tomatoes #shoreditchbestrestaurants #shoreditch #loveshoreditch #hipsters #food #foodphotography #foodbloggers #michelindining #londonbestrestaurants #michelin2018

**New Opening** A few weeks ago Kingston upon Thames inherited it's very own branch of popular Thai chain Giggling Squid. Celebrations kicked off with entertaining tuk tuk rides down the high street ending at the restaurant site (previously Jamie's Italian for those who know the area). Decor is absolutely stunning with an abundance of orchids, bright flowery wallpaper, pistachio leather and chalky wood. We ordered a mixture of tapas and larger dishes from the unconventional menu. Guess what - the chicken and beef is HALAL! 🙌 Fish cakes - nicely spiced, great texture and not too greasy. Chicken satay - well spiced but a little dry Salt and pepper squid - 👌 Pak Maew - never heard of it either! 😂 Delicious tempura thai leafy veg drowned in moorish peanut sauce. Only problem - the sauce was cold 👎 Pad Thai - really good. Service was lovely and they were very happy to take on board comments and constructive criticism. We peeked at the dinner menu which was a lot bigger (but also more expensive). Restaurant is spacious and child friendly wahooo👶🏽 For the lazy bones out there- they'll be on deliveroo soon. Check it out guys and let me know what you think!

I love to post food from my travels.. Having returned from a fun girls weekend I had to post about these delicious monkfish medallions cooked in a tandoor from @seagrillrestaurant in Puente Romano Marbella. It's not even an Indian restaurant but the fish served with okra was spiced to perfection 👌 #seagrill #puenteromano #seagrillrestaurant #marbella #seafood #fish #tandooroven #instafood #instatandoor #photooftheday #foodie #nocarbsinmarbs #food #foodphotography #dishofthetrip #weekendbreaks #europeanholidays #travel #bloggers

Thank you @littleonebakery - the cake was delicious and the look on my little ones face was priceless 😍 #burthdaycake #dinocake #dinosaurcake #littleonebakery #localbakers #cake #moreplease #yummy #partyfood #instacake #dinoroar #photooftheday

Took a trip down memory lane today to Shoreditch where I definitely don't fit in anymore! @bratrestaurant is a hip new spot serving the traditional cuisine of Basque with most dishes cooked rustically over an open wood fire. More mouth-watering pics on my stories. Let me know if you've been! #brat #bratrestaurant #shoreditch #redchurchst #basque #spanishfood #sharingplates #openwoodfire #rustic #hipster #hotnewrestaurants #londonrestaurantscene #mostwantedtables #foodwithfriends #eggsalad #prettyfood #foodart
