The Crab At Bournemouth - A Hidden Gem By The Sea!

The Crab Restaurant couldn't be any closer to Bournemouth beach if it tried. Just a pebble's (ha!) throw away from the pier, this fabulous seafood restaurant serves up delicious aquatic dishes with flawless service and sophistication. I genuinely do not have a bad word to say about this place - other than I despise the cartoon crab logo - the restaurant is absolutely superb in every aspect.

[BLOG BITES] Lunch Ideas: Chorizo and Veggie Quiche - And It's LOW FAT!

Yes that's right y'all - a LOW FAT quiche which tastes just as good as the full fat versions, I'm super serious! If you don't believe me then you'll just have to give this a whirl and see for yourself!

L'Absinthe - Fab Service, Average Food...

I've tried to love L'Absinthe's food, I really have but alas I just can't bring myself to do it. The food, for me, is just average, quite hit and miss if I'm honest. I've been to the quaint little French bistro nestled in the heart of Primrose Hill's most poshest residential street three times now and left equally disappointed on all three occasions. The food for bland and uninspiring yet people rave about this rustic restaurant. But are people really raving about the mediocre food or are they blinded by the quirky up-down interior and the continental charm oozing from the friendly staff? Does this mean people are willing to pay for average or bad food if the smiles of the staff make up for it?

HAPPY ST DAVID'S DAY, Part 2: Cawl, A Traditional And Delicious Welsh Dinner!

Howdy and Happy Saint David's Day again! So for Saint David's Day dinner tonight I made Cawl, the most traditional dish of Wales EVER. Cawl is a delicious and hearty stew usually made with Welsh lamb and leeks and other veggies. Recipes for Cawl can vary region to region but at the end of the day it's a simple yet flavoursome dish that anybody can make!

HAPPY ST DAVID'S DAY, Part 1: Celebrate With A Slice Of Teisen Lap Cake!

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant to y'all! Happy Saint David's Day! Today is none other than St David's Day! This auspicious day is a day of celebrating being Welsh. Welsh folk across the globe will walk with a bit more of a skip in their step and will smile just that little bit brighter on this day - it's true! I don't often celebrate St David's Day in Wales any more as I live in London so I make an extra effort to let others around me know what a special day it is (whether they want to know or not). Today I wore a red dress - the colour of Wales, bought daffodils for my desk (the national flower of Wales), cooked Cawl in preparation for dinner tonight (traditional Welsh stew - blog coming soon) and even made Teisen Lap (a Welsh fruit cake).
