This morning I woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland. I know everyone is fed up of the wintry weather, but on a weekend when you don’t have much to do, being snowed in is kind of cosy. Even in March. So, I have been curled up with a blanket, and my polka dot tot […]

Last week saw the launch of Cafe Moor at Leeds Kirkgate Market. Cafe Moor sells North African, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern street food. The stall is bursting with colour and vibrance but most importantly, flavoursome and delicious food. The Lord Mayor of Leeds was in attendance to celebrate the launch, as was Councillor Gerry Harper, and they […]
As the snow started falling last Thursday, I wrapped myself up and headed out to the launch night of Miller & Carter at Leeds Light. It was a tough call, believe me. My sofa was waiting with a soft, warm blanket, the snow was falling gently outside and best of all, the tot was asleep. […]
I love Christmas. Every year I get increasingly excited as we get closer and closer to December, waiting until we can finally over-decorate our house and have an excuse for much feasting and frivolity. The whole season is filled with cosy warmth, big jumpers, drinks with family and friends and an excuse to celebrate. Even […]

The Greedy Pig, Leeds
I had seen loads of tweets about The Greedy Pig and had always meant to give it a visit. Tales about top notch breakfasts were intriguing me, but not as much as the highly promoted pulled pork. I flipping love pulled pork. Anything that has that much time in the preparation has to be delicious […]
The Living Room was launching a new menu last week. To celebrate this, a dining in the dark event was held for local bloggers and I was invited along. My friend and I were a little tardy and turned up after the dinner gong had sounded, but were quickly welcomed into the fold. The event […]

Fiendish Feasting at Halloween
I absolutely love Halloween. It is such a fun festival, steeped in other worldly mystery and magic. Sadly, Mr M is away for the day itself this year, which is most upsetting! But a good excuse to celebrate Halloween all week long. Last weekend, our friends The Saints came over with their little one for […]

Cafe 164, Leeds
I had been meaning to visit Cafe 164 for a long time. People on Twitter always rave about it, and some of their products are sourced form some great local food producers. On Friday, I was going to Leeds Kirkgate Markets dangerously close to lunchtime. I did a quip whip round to get the materials […]
Briggate, one of the main shopping streets in Leeds, can be a frenzied motorway of pedestrian traffic, especially on a Saturday. I love the old alleys that come off it though. Suddenly everything goes quiet. The tall, close walls dampen out the city centre squabble and you are almost transported back in time. There is […]
Timing is everything… and I am a little late with this post! I meant to write it at the start of the summer to share Mr M’s most amazing BBQ sauce with the world. That said, it hasn’t been the most BBQ friendly of summers anyway, but we had this sauce on Saturday night and […]
