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. This time, I bought candy beets (they don’t taste very different from regular beets, just prettier) and pears from a farm stand at my quartier market where patient Parisians were queing […]

Mon Quartier

My neighbourhood in the 15ème is pretty darn amazing. Butchers, boulangeries, fromageries, cafés, patisseries, a fantastic outdoor market that open thrice a week and a gorgeous little park (with wifi!). When I first moved here a couple of months ago I went into a tizzy taking photos of the neighbourhood. Every time I’d take a […]

London Favourites

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 […]

Carrot Salad and Coriander Salad

Some of the best meals I eat are those shared with Jennie. And most of the time, they are things we rustle up while preparing for the pop-up lunches that we do every week or so under the Friday Lunches* banner. Last week when we were out and about putting ingredients together for the sandwiches […]
