Market Lunch: Pear and Beetroot Salad

Every time I go to the market, I try and buy something entirely new to me, or a different variety of a known fruit or vegetable.

Double Chocolate Cookies

I was to take a nicer photo, but you’re stuck with the Instagram rendition because like every rushed Friday Lunches morning (where things start as early as 4AM), these cookies were baked, packed up and and on their […]

Peanut Pancake, Imbi Market, Kuala Lumpur

I was sorting through my photos from over the past year and I came upon one of my favourite sets – one that was photographed at Imbi Market in Kuala Lumpur last year. A separate blog post is needed to justify the glorious market, but what I want to share right now is a series […]

I was in London over the summer to study at Le Cordon Bleu, and during my time there I explored quite a bit of the city. I’ve put together all my favourite spots and things to do while in London. I’ve been to London a few times before, but this trip made me love the […]
