Pan Fried Padron Peppers – one of the easiest dishes to make and the perfect appetiser to serve with drinks or as a side to some tapas! These salty, smoky, tasty treats are honestly so easy to make, it’s almost embarrassing to call this a …
When I think of small sharing plates, the cuisine that tends to spring to mind is Spanish. Tapas is such a fun way to eat as I love being able to try a little bit of a lot of different flavours. Recently I’ve also been …

Last week I went for dinner with some girlfriends of mine. We picked Morada Brindisa in Soho as there was something for everyone and it was conveniently located for us all. It’s just off of Leicester Square so perfect for post-work drinks and dinner. Morada …
