The Lebanese Bakery, Covent Garden
Just over half-a-year old the London branch (and only other outlet) of The Lebanese Bakery does a steady trade offering a menu of manousheh (flatbreads) and mouajjanet (“bite sized bakes”) to a mix of customers in its tidy Russell Street eatery with open kitchen and giant oven in full view. Continue reading
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake at Carioca Brixton
A recently weekend brunch visit to Carioca in Brixton was not my first. And I’m please to report the food is still tasty and portions still generous at this quaint Market Row eatery. But it was my first time to have slice of the chocolate peanut butter cheesecake. And – wow – that was a sumptuous and texturally magnificent end to a meal. Continue reading
Where to Dine in Dublin | The Pepper Pot Cafe

Where to Dine in Dublin | The Rolling Donut
So donuts in Dublin are definitely a thing! And The Rolling Donut does them deliciously well.In particular, two of the more decadent creations from its menu made my taste buds swoon: the salted caramel pistachio and the maple bacon. Both cost about €3 and one with a cup of pretty damn good coffee (for €5) made an excellent breakfast. Continue reading
Where to Dine in Dublin | Oxmantown
Oxmantown’s Black Pudding breakfast sandwich was a morning meal worth waking up for – particularly with its rather kindly price of €5.90. An assemblage of Jack McCarthy’s “Queens” black pudding with tomato relish, pickles, aioli, and rocket on supremely spongy sourdough, it hit the spot and kept any inkling of hunger at bay well past my usual lunchtime. Continue reading

Elizabeth’s | #TCEatsNOLA
Chef Bryon Peck’s homey from-scratch cooking is as downhome as it gets. I loved my time digging into a big Southern style breakfast while admiring the vibrant folk art on walls (inside and out), at his laid back and creaky floored Bywater restaurant Elizabeth’s. Continue reading

It’s the Garden District go-to for giant omelets, particularly moreish pecan pie, stout coffee and all sorts of other delicacies designed to you help cope with post celebratory suffering and start feeling like a champ again. Continue reading
Brennan’s | #TCEatsNOLA
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And if by important, they (whomever ‘they’ are) mean utterly scrumptious and overwhelmingly substantial, then there’s no finer example of this rule than breakfast at Brennan’s. Indeed, the morning I visited this family run French Quarter institution of haute Creole cuisine was without doubt the tastiest a.m. of the year for me, resulting in one of the more delicious meals I had during my time in New Orleans, and perhaps the best breakfast I’ve ever eaten in my life.
