Here’s my second Clamato Kitchen recipe. I kept it super simple to 1) show off how much flavour Clamato can add to a dish and 2) I’m lazy.
Joking!!! But seriously there’s no reason to add a whole lot of whatever when you’ve got a good base for a sauce and just a touch of extra seasoning will do.
Enjoy! Continue reading

When I started tinkering around with this recipe as part of my Clamato Kitchen series, I thought I had come up with a pretty yummy idea. After snarfing down a mess from my first batch of joes, I realised I’d made something way more delicious than I had anticipated. Continue reading
About an hour a half drive from Ljubljana, the Movia vineyards straddle the border between Slovenia and Italy and can be admired from the winery’s expansive terrace while sipping something from its cellar during guided tours and tastings. Continue reading

Not only is the InterContinental the city’s first five star luxury hotel, it is also now the city’s most prominent skyscraper. At 81 metres, it is the tallest tower in central Ljubljana and the second tallest in the city and country (there’s another 20-storey building on the outskirts of town, called the Crystal Palace, that is taller by 8m).
Close to all the action and much of what I wanted to see or do, the hotel served as a smart HQ for my itinerary and a welcome retreat for a few days of leisure. Indeed as much as I enjoyed my meanders around town, I must admit that two of my favourite moments took place at the InterContinental. Continue reading
Here’s the low down on some fine things to see, sip, savour and more – all of which I’ve recently come across and thought were worth sharing with you. Enjoy. Continue reading
I paid a weekend visit to Ljubljana soon after the launch and found the swish hotel to be a haven hard to leave. However, when I did venture beyond its graciously manned entrance I was rewarded with heaps of delicious fun.

Let’s tuck in to another list in my Best of 2017 series and take a look at my rather Walthamstow-centric assemblage of London’s best cheap eats. Continue reading
With so many Londoners so very much dazzled by latte art and seemingly more in love with milk and sugar in their drinks than with the actual quality of the coffee and with Central London rents going through the roof and with eager EU workers potentially deciding not to make for our city to up the café ante, I worry London’s café culture might begin to see a decline.
At the moment though, there are still plenty of good cafes. Here are six of my faves (along with a few honourable mentions). Continue reading
My choice of best bars in London is a markedly less pub-y list than in years last. I guess I just wasn’t wowed all that much by the pubs I encountered. However, the one that did make the cut is indeed a fine addition to the London drinking scene. The rest of the venues – a mix of old and new – all got a wow out of me and deserve a toast to many more years to come.
For a look at my favourite bars beyond London, read the last post in this Best of 2017 series. And be sure to keep an eye out for more lists to come. Continue reading

Simple dishes made with minimal fuss but using high quality seasonal ingredients to maximum effect seem to have grabbed my palate’s attention more than other foods when going out to eat in London this year. Scattered across town with none of the venues being too terribly expensive or exclusive, my short list of best London restaurants (and honourable mentions) is a tasty assemblage or eateries focused chiefly on presenting flavoursome food and respect for discerning diners keen to eat something delicious and forego any unnecessary trappings.
For a look at my favourite restaurants beyond London, check out the last post in this Best of 2017 series. And be sure to keep an eye out for more lists to come. Continue reading
