So you’ve heard about Monopoli and Polignano a Mare, where we basically spent our days hopping between restaurants and cafes (with a couple of beaches thrown in). Little did we know, the most extravagant meal we’d have would be at Masseria il Frantoio. I’ve really been looking forward to writing this food post, and sharing […]
After spending several relaxing days in Monopoli, we hopped back in our rental car and set off for the popular beach town, Polignano a Mare (only 15 minutes drive away). The atmosphere in both towns are on complete opposite ends of the Puglian scale. As soon as we arrived in Polignano a Mare, it quickly became obvious where […]
My latest travel adventures took me to Monopoli in Puglia, a region in Southern Italy with overwhelming beauty. Coming here is the ultimate escape from the tourist masses. The whole of Puglia is incredibly laid back, where time gratefully slows down and you can instantly feel your body relax. But to be honest, if there’s one reason to come […]
Whether there’s any real truth in it, they say you’re meant to ‘fuel up,’ or ‘carb load’ before a big running event. And that’s exactly what I did. The night before my last half-marathon race, I conjured up the best lasagne recipe yet. This lasagne is honestly so tasty and satisfying. It’s the perfect dish to treat yourself if you’re after […]
If you’re looking for a London restaurant to go to for a special occasion, then Lima restaurant in Fitzrovia could be the perfect choice. I came here with my family after reading great reviews of the creative menu. Also because Lima is the first and only Michelin starred Peruvian restaurant in London. I was eager to see what […]
Most people have never even heard of La Gomera, and neither had I until earlier this year. Having stumbled across it whilst doing some travel research, the more I read, the more I knew I had to go. My boyfriend and I booked a flight straight away, and left the rest as a mystery until we […]
After buying my new Nutribullet Rx recently, I’ve been obsessed with trying different breakfast smoothie variations each morning. I’ve always loved making smoothies for my family, such as this healthy banana & blueberry smoothie, or this banana, fig and cashew smoothie. However I think this one is my new favourite: the ultimate breakfast smoothie. The creaminess and […]
The Tasting Menu at restaurant 100 Maneiras is truly something special. Since this intimate restaurant at Bairro Alto in Lisbon has no menu, you’re welcomed to experience a succession of 10 exquisite and delightfully surprising dishes from chef Ljubomir Stanic. It’s worth opting for the wine pairing too (plus it doesn’t hurt that it’ll be served by a very charming sommelier) […]
As promised in my last 48 Hours in Lisbon post, this one is dedicated to my brunch feast at one of Lisbon’s best food markets, Time Out Mercado da Ribeira. Bringing together some of the city’s most revered names in food and drink, the former fish market is now home to a selection of popular vendors as […]
Spending a lot of time in London this year means I can take regular trips to Europe, which I absolutely love. Little weekend getaways to always look forward to. One of the best weekends so far was a whirlwind 48 hours in Lisbon. This post shows some of the highlights from our weekend, which would make a great […]
