about living with a nut allergy

Pizza East, Shoreditch

Pizza East occupies a chunky corner of Shoreditch High street, but set opposite the imposing screen of Boxpark and trimmed with the hazards of a busy junction, it’s easy to miss. I had to ask for directions before I realised that I had been walking past the large, open entrance the entire time. It’s a… Read More Pizza East, Shoreditch

Matsuri, London

This authentic Japanese restaurant has been a firm favourite of mine for about 6 or 7 years now, so much so that the maître d’ is close to memorising all of my favourite parts of their menu. There is a lot that I like about Matsuri and their year-round offering of tempura prawns is definitely… Read More Matsuri, London

The Queen Charlotte, Windsor

With a name that reminds the world of a certain Princess, The Queen Charlotte in Windsor is unsurprisingly popular with locals and tourists, who wish to gain a complete experience of the royal town. As I approach the pub, The Queen Charlotte stands out for its placement in the town. Sitting on a raised, cobbled… Read More The Queen Charlotte, Windsor

20 Steps to Heaven

So here it is, the recipe for my ‘gluten-free and nut-free, Terry’s chocolate orange’ cake. The title is just as big as the fistfuls of deliciousness you will shortly be cramming into your mouths. INGREDIENTS For the cake: 2 oranges, 5 eggs, 1 tsp baking powder, 100g fine cornmeal, 100g ground rolled oats, 200g caster sugar, 50g Food Thoughts Fairtrade cocoa powder… Read More 20 Steps to Heaven

May Contain Distress

There are few things in life which force me to confront the unhappy inconvenience of having a nut allergy more than shopping for a bar of chocolate. Some mornings, like any greedy comfort-eating woman, I have the innocent desire to munch through a box of brownies or a decadent chocolate cake. But can I swipe… Read More May Contain Distress

The Ferry, Cookham

Following my recent period of illness, I’ve had a few friends come to visit me over the past few weeks, which has given me a feeling of happiness highlighted by the festive period. To celebrate the season of good will, therefore, I decided to gift my friend from Kingston a lunch in Cookham – the little village I consider to have… Read More The Ferry, Cookham

Bel & the Dragon, Cookham

This comfortably cosy yet contemporary restaurant is huddled amongst the flowery hanging baskets and vines of its neighbours so that you may be forgiven for driving past it as you travel down the busy village high street. However, once inside, prepare to be warmly invited to remove your coat and settle down by the fire… Read More Bel & the Dragon, Cookham

First Floor restaurant, Portobello Road

First Floor restaurant is tucked up neatly alongside the bustle of Portobello Road, and in front of the man standing over a pile of vegetable peelings as he attempts to sell the latest must-have kitchen utensil. Sitting above the ‘Ground Floor’ bar, gold title lettering decorates the light blue building which not only serves to… Read More First Floor restaurant, Portobello Road

SUNSHINE & NUT-FREE PESTO

Hi everyone, sorry it’s been such a while since my last post – I’ve recently moved house and have been working on getting a few things sorted. However, not to worry, I have still been eating out at loads of restaurants in and around London and have recently stepped off the plane from Berlin so… Read More SUNSHINE & NUT-FREE PESTO

Nando’s is the BFG

So far I’ve been reviewing restaurants nestled in the buzz of London town or wedged under stacks of scaffolding so today I thought I’d go back to basics and give you my thoughts on one of the many accessible chain restaurants that grace our high streets. For this one I don’t have any pics, despite… Read More Nando’s is the BFG
