Mr M and I always go to Leeds Kirkgate Markets when we’re in the city centre, but I am going to try and make it a weekly event. It’s such a vibrant, bustling and exciting place with so much to discover. There are goodies hidden like treasure within the labyrinth of the markets, just waiting […]

I’ve been getting mousse, loose, aboot this hoose! Sorry, couldn’t help it. After making a white chocolate mousse with samples from Millies, I couldn’t help but make more versions! This time I used the Mint Extra Dark Chocolate from Seed and Bean, and, tweaking my recipe, I created a much more indulgent, rich affair, which […]
I have always wanted to try making a mousse, but never quite got around to doing it. People whip them up on Mastershout all the time, and they look delicious, indulgent but light, which is my kind of dessert. Millies, a local food store in Leeds, gave me a perfect opportunity to try it. The […]
Last weekend saw the fifth edition of the Horsforth Beer and Cider Festival. Hosted at St Margaret’s Church Hall, the event was incredibly popular, and all funds raised are going towards carrying out repairs to the church. We arrived with tot in tow, a little nervous as to how she’d cope, and in fact, how […]
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. […]

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 […]

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 […]
Last weekend we accidentally discovered Adel Dam Nature Reserve. It’s just behind Golden Acre Park, which we had gone to for a brief walk around the lake, to get some fresh air and crunch through some leaves. The bridged path at the far side of the lake being closed, we were redirected to the footpath […]
