London you were perfect .. sunny but cold and full of delicious food and places.. brunch at @franzeevans .. look at those colours.. sunshine at Spitalfieldsmarket and after hours rearranging of the stall at @pimentohill - the place for jams and chutneys with Jamaican sunshine.

Little stop in oxford after my first venture into guest lecturing at @oxfordbrookes 😍of course found coffee.. amazing latte art at @colombiacoffeeroasters ☕️☕️ tried a red velvet latte! Love a bit of solo exploring 💖#oxford #coffee #latteart #soloexplorer

I love brunch!! When I can’t make it out I try and recreate some of my fav dishes at home.. sourdough from @lidlgb amazing bakery, halloumi, taco beans and a poached egg. Topped with seasoning from @justspices_uk #brunchtime #brunchinspo #beans #sourdough #foodinspo

Ending the year in one of my favourite places :) and starting it here too 😍 may 2025 bring more of this 🌊🐡

A delicious and lovely evening with @cbfoodpeople at @anglothai . Food was full of flavour .. highlights were the lions mane with sunflower seed satay, char grilled aubergine and @wildfarmed bread with wild mushrooms. The blend of English produce and Thais flavours just works. And a evening of chatting and catching up made this the best way to spend a Wednesday evening 😍 #foodtrends #londonfood #fusionfood #thaifood #britishproduce
