But sugar packed foods does not carry same risk
In celebration of their 21st anniversary, The Porterhouse Brewing Company began to supply their range of craft beers throughout the United Kingdom last year. Initially opening Ireland’s first brewpub, The Porterhouse Brewing Company was launched by cousins Liam LeHart and Oliver Hughes, spotting an opportunity to compete against the bland beers being produced by mass-producing breweries at the time. Since then, the brewery has developed a strong core range and launched a €6 million state of the art brewery in Dublin to keep...
The morsels are even served on tiny plates with tiny cutlery
RIGO is “a tale of chef Gonzalo Luzarraga's culinary journey”, avers the restaurant’s website. Discovering the word “journey” on any restaurant menu, I’d generally rather take the direct route from the top of the Eiffel Tower to the ground. Without a parachute. Onto a mattress of those spikes that would always poleaxe Sonic the Hedgehog. But that’s not the case with this Parsons Green restaurant. Piedmontese for ‘journey of rigorous research’, RIGO opened last summer, drawing on Chef Gonzalo’s experience...
Although the concept of bottomless brunches is relatively new to London, in Tel Aviv they've been doing it for years - they call it, brunch. In classic Middle Eastern style brunch in Israel is all about variety and the limitless bounds of food. Small plates litter tables and are replenished until the heart (and stomach) is content, with zingy drinks and fresh tea on hand to help. It is a gloriously gluttonous affair, and it is now one that can...
Move over coffee aficionados. You’ve had your run of things for way too long. It’s high time the tea brigade evened things up a little. I’m not saying we can’t share the love, but with a coffee shop on every street corner, the inequality is killing me. It’s high time the high street made room for tea. Now, if I could guarantee a decent cup of tea from a barista I’d keep schtum. But, how many more crappy cups of...
The bottomless brunch concept has become so embedded in London culture over the past year that one struggles to remember a time that getting drunk before midday wasn't the norm at the weekend. With Bloody Mary's and Mimosas flowing like water across the capital it is fair to say that the city has truly embraced the idea of pairing breakfast foods with booze. Eggs Benedict with unlimited prosecco? Sure! A full English with a full bodied claret? Why not! So...
Rapini, a cruciferous green vegetable, is particularly associated with Italian cuisine. Available with different names throughout the country, rapini is better known as ‘Cime di Rapa’ in Puglia – literally meaning “turnip tops”. The distinctively bitter leaves are often paired with creamy pasta dishes, as is the case with this recipe from Panzer’s Deli and Grocer in St John’s Wood. Another Puglian staple, the recipe also features Benedetto Cavalieri dischi volanti (or orecchiette). Like all pasta, orecchiette is best when...
Termini, with its direct train service to and from Fiumicino airport, was my first carnal glimpse of Rome – as is the case with most tourists. A modern part of the city, less charming than Campo Marzio or Vatican City; Termini doesn’t sleep. Amid the nasal howl of sirens, burbling Vespas and suitcase wheels, Termini is littered with uncountable bars-cum-cafés-cum-coffee shops. Such cafés are accessible, ideal for a quick coffee, cocktail or snack before boarding the train to the airport...
