In Manchester city centre, you are never too far from a new bar or restaurant, and recently they seem to be popping up here, there and everywhere – just in time for the summer months when every drop of sun is an excuse to get out and about. One of my favourite new spots in the city is the Corn Exchange. Read More
Quill | Restaurant Review
For those of you who know me, you will know that I am a self-confessed foodie. There is nothing I like more than going out for a meal and sampling the food and drink offerings of the city. As Valentine’s Day is also my anniversary with my boyfriend, this year he booked us in for the Valentine’s taster menu at Quill restaurant on King Street in Manchester. Of course this was a surprise for me, so that all I knew before we arrived is that we were going to a restaurant and there were going to be 10 courses. Knowing this leading up to the day was pure excitement and torture at the same time – I love surprises but I was dying to find out where we were going and what delicious food we would be eating.

Bouncing Back
Restaurant: San Carlo Fumo for Friday Date Night
By far some of the best Italian food I have eaten in the UK, and now one of my fave restaurants in Manchester.
Italian tapas, wine, cocktails and some Friday dancing.
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
New Beginnings
So (after much convincing) I have decided to start a blog. I have been saying I would for so long, and now, sitting in bed with a glass of red wine on a chilly February night, it is finally the perfect time. I am very excited to have a place to keep all of my thoughts, ideas and memories. Every time I cook up a new dish, buy a bunch of new things for my home, splurge on new pieces for my wardrobe, or spend an evening taking photographs, I always wish I had a place to document it… so here it is!
My first post will be an introduction to myself with a ‘10 facts’ list. Because everyone loves lists, right? (And if they don’t then they should! I love a good list.)
