Hi all, I hope Hump Day isn’t leaving you too much under the weather. The weather’s been erratic these past few weeks, and when it gets like that, all I want to do is just hibernate indoors. You, know that zen state where you don’t want to move from the couch, let alone venture outdoors? As you eye your oven…
As any good foodie worth her (sea) salt, I love shouting about good food and great spaces with lovely smiling faces. Which is why I feel I have to write about Masa Restaurant & Bar, Derby again. I try not to write about the same place more than once a month, but this time, I’ll make an exception. I reviewed…
What are bank holidays for, but to loll around watching a plethora of vacuous daytime TV interspersed with a trip to your local gastro-pub?

It was…
When it’s cold and wintry outside, you just want to make like Baloo the Bear (yes I watched Jungle Book this weekend) and hibernate. Come midday and those darn hunger pangs have begun to set in, heralding the onset of hunter-gatherer syndrome. To avoid battling through the sea of Christmas shoppers for that un-inspired soggy sandwich, I have a better…
Have you heard of Hump Day? For the uninitiated (that was me until last month), it refers to Wednesday, traditionally the mid-point of a week when moods are at an all time low due to the usual 9-5 grind. To put a spring in your step and banish those mid-week blues, I suggest you get down to Yo! Sushi. Pronto.…

Hi all, how are you doing? It’s December eve and with Christmas around the corner, you’re probably thinking of Christmas gift shopping. Before you get bashed around the head by all things Christmas in the upcoming weeks and cower for cover as you quell your inner Grinch, fear not. Formulate a plan of attack, make a list of things to…
*Updated post Friday 11th Dec with new eateries added* Hi all, how are you doing? In a fortnight’s time it will be Christmas Day, quadruple whoop! I’ll be spending my first Christmas with The Dude in Derby and it’s going to be packed with tonnes of foodie fun. How will you be spending Christmas? Will you be playing host or…
