A Taste of Home: 805 Restaurant, North London

There are few things I love more than Nigerian food. My dreams are filled with towering mountains of jollof rice, rivers that run red with palm oil, and forests of emerald-green bitterleaf. I was blessed to grow up in a home where both Nigerian and Ghanaian delicacies appeared on the dinner table. Whenever I visit … Continue reading A Taste of Home: 805 Restaurant, North London

Soundtrack to My Weekend: Charles & Eddie: Would I Lie To You?

LE HUGE SIGH. I just love the bejesus out of this song, and have done ever since I was a little girl in afro-puffs. We had a working television for approximately three days out of my entire childhood, and I spent every available moment of those days watching MTV. I’ll never forget the first time … Continue reading Soundtrack to My Weekend: Charles & Eddie: Would I Lie To You?

K-I-S-S-I-N-G: Treehouse Lounge, Melbourne, Australia

Research has shown that eating at Treehouse Lounge is proven to make you more attractive. My research, that is. This sultry, sexy joint on Carlisle Street is one of my absolute favourites. I bring people here when I want to impress (and possibly make kissy-face with them later). As soon as you step inside, you’re … Continue reading K-I-S-S-I-N-G: Treehouse Lounge, Melbourne, Australia

Eggs and Eye Candy: Hawk and Hunter Cafe, Melbourne, Australia

Tucked away between hipster Balaclava and leafy Ripponlea, this gem has quickly become my “go-to” place for brunch. You’ll fall in love the second you walk in– it’s big and airy with quirky yet classy deco. This place is the prize gun in my arsenal- I bring everyone here. So much so that I don’t … Continue reading Eggs and Eye Candy: Hawk and Hunter Cafe, Melbourne, Australia

A Land Down Under

Darlings! Hi! How is everyone? Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere freezing our tits off, well… this too shall pass. Those of you living it up in balmy weather in the Southern Hemisphere- my jealousy right now is so deep. I’m looking DIRECTLY at Rosie of aredlipandanudeshoe fame. Now! Some of you may already … Continue reading A Land Down Under
