I promise I do venture out of south London sometimes but here I am again writing about Tooting! Tota is a cute little restaurant with a sparkly façade and friendly staff on Tooting High Street. The menu is very eclectic, with everything from ribs and steak to vegetarian curry and fish. The small menu is… Continue reading A Trip To Tooting’s Tota
Summer seemed to blow away when hurricane Bertha blew in last week and my appetite for salad and light meals has moved on to more comforting dishes. One of my best friends has had a baby so a few of us decided to take over some grub for an evening of catching up and cuddles… Continue reading Winter warmers – in August!
It’s summer – well it was – and we’ve been trying to eat lighter meals using seasonal ingredients. I’d read loads about replacing pasta with courgette as a healthier alternative so we thought we’d give it a go. We don’t eat a lot of pasta but every now and then we get a hankering for… Continue reading Courgette instead of pasta and cauliflower not rice
We did it! We got a table at Chiltern Firehouse! It took a bit of wrangling and a few terse emails regarding their non-existent booking policy but on Saturday we finally ate there. This Marylebone restaurant has been hyped up more than any other I can recall recently. It has had a steady stream of… Continue reading Chiltern Firehouse – tasty but not special enough for the hype!
Apparently there are 34,488 ramen shops in Japan and judging by recent openings, London appears to be trying to compete. A walk around Soho will throw up dozens of new options for some slurpy noodles. We chose a boiling hot Wednesday to go and sample this speciality at Tonkotsu in Dean Street. This is a… Continue reading Looks like ramen is here to stay
I’ve written about Tooting before and the fantastic range of eating options it has. Just this weekend the chain Honest Burgers opened a branch near Tooting Broadway tube – it already has restaurants in Brixton Market, Soho, King’s Cross and Camden. Eating curry on a baking hot night may not be everyone’s cup of tea… Continue reading There’s nothing wrong with substance over style!
Food might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of Ibiza. The ‘White Isle’ is known for its nightlife, celebrity tourists and drugs probably. I’ve just got back from a five night trip to ‘Beefa’ with four of my girlfriends. We decided we wanted to go before we turn 30… Continue reading Ibiza – clubs, cocktails and cuisine!
Battersea Rise in Clapham Junction is a great place for eating whether you fancy a trusty chain or something a little more off piste. At the top of the road near Clapham Common is a relatively new restaurant I hadn’t noticed. It used to be a Mexican but is now called Cornish Tiger – a… Continue reading The Cornish Tiger isn’t roaring just quite yet…
Tooting is a fantastic place to eat but every now and again you feel like something different from one of the delicious curries which is why it’s great that some new and interesting restaurants are popping up (but they’re not ‘pop ups’). Chicken Shop on Tooting High Street does simplicity and gorgeous flavours perfectly. It… Continue reading Toot Toot! It’s time for chicken!
It’s been a quiet week but beautiful weather and everyone seems to be in a better mood now the sun is shining. So, I thought I’d share some of my favourite warm weather recipes. Earlier this week Matt and I cooked gluten-free pasta for the first time. I’m off on a girls holiday to Ibiza… Continue reading It’s hotting up!
