I love Falafel and until recently didn’t realise how easy it was to make. I love Middle Eastern flavours and will usually choose a Falafel dish over a meat dish at a restaurant. Here is a recipe for great tasting Falafel. It makes 3 normal size burgers or 4 smaller ones. It took me around…

Having caught a virus late last week, I would give anything to be back on…
The old flower shop – Mapperley
A couple of weeks ago my friend Mark and I headed to Mapperley Top for a bite to eat. I hadn’t noticed The Old Flower Shop before, and it turns out that it’s only been open a few months. A quick glance at the menu drew us in to this gorgeously decorated, modern contemporary space….

I headed down to the Great Notts Show this morning, dragging my lovely housemate with me for a long walk, with the bribe of tea and lunch. The streets are closed for the Robin Hood Half Marathon, and it gave the centre of town a nice peaceful quiet with none of the traffic. There’s loads…

Last week, an old friend I’ve not seen for a couple of years, Hugh, took me for lunch at Seven Restaurant for a catch up. Seven is close to where we both work, so it was quick and convenient. By all accounts the food is ace too. It’s located on Roundhouse Road, Pride Park, in…

After having a really mediocre meal at The Grosvenor a couple of months ago, the manager of the pub found my blog post and invited me back to review the food. I went yesterday, and have to say it was a much more pleasant time than previous. I didn’t make them aware when I arrived,…
