#DateNight with The Printworks
The Printworks in Manchester is somewhere that everyone who lives in the city has heard of. Based in the heart of Manchester, the Printworks is handily located right next to The Arndale shopping centre, and bang in the middle of Victoria train station and Shudehill tram stop – making it super accessible for locals and tourists alike. A huge venue housing a range of restaurants, bars, clubs, a cinema and even a gym – The Printworks was once ‘Withy Grove Printing House’, printing newspapers for over 100 years until it closed in 1985. Lying dormant for over 10 years, the 1996 bomb attack in the city centre spurred on a redevelopment process for the area, and The Printworks was opened in 2000 to the public.Read More

Recipe: Wagamama’s Chicken Chilli Men
Recipe: Healthy Pesto Pasta with Chicken & Avo
Recipe: Easy Thai Green Curry
This is a meal I cook at least a couple of times a month. One of Jay’s friends cooked it for him once, then Jay recreated it for me because he like it so much and ever since then we have been having it on a regular basis! One of my favourite things about it is that the flavours are so versatile, the base ingredients work so well together that you can experiment with adding extra veg or different meat and its always super tasty. We actually just cooked this for my parents this week, but we added loads of stir fry veg and made some rice to go with it; needless to say it was a huge hit. The other great thing about this is its so easy to make a huge batch, I often make about 6 servings at a time and freeze a couple of them. It makes such a great mid-week meal when you cant be bothered cooking but wanting something really delicious; I just take it out in the morning and reheat it in the evening. Super yummy. Read More
