Salad for Summer… Groundbreaking

And it really is. One thing about me, I am always going to rebuff a salad unless I absolutely have to and when I go to my sister’s, I have to because they are connoisseurs of good food and salads. I don’t like salads, and you almost have to tie me down and force down…

WATCH- HIGH ON THE HOG

There is a moment when this documentary reaches in and touches the core of who we are as Black people, unleashes our stories on the world and reveals us to ourselves through our roots. It is from the very beginning, guided gently through the stories of Dr Jessica Harris. Food. When Black people cook, it…

IRÉ Á KARÌ- OKRO SOUP FOR THE SOUL

Eat | Padella, London Bridge

You always know the reputation of a restaurant by the amount of people who are willing to queue up to dine in it. Padella is one of such places where the queue is long, it will always be busy, and more important the food is incredible. Each time I go past there, there is always…

Eat | The Ivy Café, Richmond

Perhaps the best thing about a restaurants is making a point of returning again, and again and trying some of the old favourites, looking forward to a particular meal and being fairly certain of a good time regardless of the company. The Ivy Café in Richmond is such a restaurant. The food is good, not…

Lagos- Heart and Soul

Lagos. There is no place like Lagos. Until May of this year I hadn’t been back home for too long a time, so I’d forgotten how hectic and hot it can be. Compared to the laid-back pace of everyday life in London, Lagos is a shock to the system, a rude jolt that hits you the minute…
