Is this the Best Sunday Roast in London?

December 3, 2018 by Uju 2 Comments

    What is it about a Sunday roast? The finest cuts of meat dripping with juices (or nut roast, if you prefer), crispy roast potatoes, crunchy seasonal veg, pillowy Yorkshire pudding and lashings of gravy. It’s almost the perfect comfort food, as well as one of the dressiest meals for any occasion.    …

Kanada-Ya Tonkotsu ramen bowl

    When it gets colder outside, few things are more comforting than curling up around a big bowl of steaming hot soup. The babes and I are crazy about pho, the Vietnamese noodle soup, that became one of our mid-week treats after ‘soccer mom’ duty. So when we were invited** to review Kanada-Ya, I…

Nigerian Food in London: Pitanga

June 27, 2018 by Uju 2 Comments

    So Messi and his mates have left us heartbroken. At least Team Naija can still claim the ‘fashion world cup’, thanks to the instant sellout Nigerian football kit. Pure Super Eagles swag.         We’d also dominate in a foodie fight. Much as I love Argentinian steak other cuisines, when it…

London hot chocolate Jed at Ottolenghi

    Cold innit. How’s about a hug in a mug? Nothing like a steaming cup of hot chocolate, preferably frothing over with whipped cream, and marshmallows happily bobbing along on top.

      So McDonald’s sent us the BIGGEST Happy Meal box we’ve ever seen. The babes thought we’d won the lottery. ‘Can we open it now?
