Bala Baya is a new restaurant, just opened in Southwark and is the creation of the ex-head chef, Eran Tibi, from Ottolenghi’s Restaurant, who left to start this place up! There was an offer for 25% off on all bookings as it was the first month so …
I can always count on my mum to want to visit a healthy restaurant with me. We like the same kind of food and eat the same kind of diet (grain, gluten and refined sugar-free – amongst other things) so when I spent a day …
One of my favourite things to do when I travel is to check out the local food markets. I love just wandering around, seeing what the locals eat and buy, trying a few things, maybe buying some lunch for a picnic and just generally enjoying …

What a fabulous morning! Full of colour, culture, celebration and fun, spent at the Sikh wedding of our friends Divya and Pradip. Here’s Pradip with his best men – the outfit he wore was incredible and I think he loved the fact that he was allowed to carry …
