Ina Garten in London

What crap! For a TV cook, she seemed like a country bumpkin! She and her hubby visited London for a food tour and what kinds of foods do you think she brought back with her to the Hamptons? The “tastes of London” included Hasselbacks potatoes and a Middle Eastern salad!?...

This is the first time I review a movie on this blog but since the movie’s about the Bras, Entres les Bras (Step up to the plate in English), I didn’t think that you’d mind. I saw this docu at the Stockholm Film Festival and it was the only food...

We were desperate to find seats somewhere as we had intended to eat Thai at Siam but it was totally packed. We went by Pho and were told that the wait would be at least 30 minutes. No way! We walked past this place and it looked young and hip,...

Tohbang
We both love Korean food and try to eat it at least once when we’re abroad and especially in a multicultural cosmopolitan like London. This time, we ventured out to Holborn for some comfort food! The banchan was the best we’ve had. The broth with seaweed was lightly flavored but...

Ittenbari – review
