A song through different speakers 31 Jul 2013 | 09:50 pm
You can smell it being poured from across the room. The aroma floats across the bar and up my nostrils - while I fumble about with a fiver - and before I know it the memory comes flooding back, like ...
Discovering sake at Hyper Japan 30 Jul 2013 | 12:40 pm
Sake is one of those drinks that I've never really got along with, particularly when served warm alongside a bento box or the like (I'm looking at you Little Tokyo, Leeds). But as any serious drinkie...

I pretty much chanced upon this pub when meeting a friend in Soho, as the pub we had elected to meet at was rammed so we popped round the corner to The Old Coffee House. It was all very impromptu, so...
Pork cheek ragu with Parmesan and rigatoni 17 Jun 2013 | 11:24 pm
As any regular readers will know, I cook with pork cheeks a lot. They taste fantastic when slow braised, and are very forgiving in terms of cooking times thanks to the abundant connective sinew which ...

One of the things I love about beer is its diversity. Whether it's in matching to a particular food or just your mood, there is always a beer to suit and a flavour to match. The range, and I suppose ...
