Q: Judging for the Quality Food Awards 2018

I was recently invited to judge at the Quality Food Awards 2018. The judging panel is made up of food industry experts and various food retail professionals within the food industry. So when I was asked to join the judging panel, I was honoured. I love food and this is every 'foodie's' dream job. Quality Food Awards Celebrate the best of UK food and drink. The Quality Food Awards were launched in 1979, to recognise and reward the best in retail, wholesale and foodservice food and drink products available in the UK. Seeing the blue Q logo on pack alerts consumers to how special the product is, given that this is a verified mark of quality. The judging starts at the end of July and I won't be allowed to discuss my findings, opinions, products or results with anyone. I'm very much looking forward to what the food industry has in store for us this year.

Q: THE SECRET MENU AT HOLBORN DINING ROOM

It was ‘date night’ with Mr Barclay… and this means that I am to meet him in London at a set location and time. It’s always a surprise and I never know where I’m going until I get a text message with the tube station and local bar or pub at which we are to meet. To start, we usually go for drinks so he can put me off the scent, but after much pressing, he let’s the cat out of the bag. This time round it was the Holborn Dining Room at the Rosewood Hotel located on High Holborn. I remember the days when it was called Pearl… but that’s another story! The staff were fantastic, friendly and got us our drinks straight away. I asked Mr Barclay why he had chosen the Holborn Dining Room, he said there were a number of reasons: the retro style dining room and outdoor terrace which was perfect for a summer drink and secondly, they have a secret menu item – ‘Beef Willington’. Enough said, I thought. Mr Barclay and I usually have a rule… No starters on ‘Date Night’ which is a rule we always break! We compromise and share a starter. This was the ‘Lobster Thermidor Tart’ which was excellent. For main, the piece de resistance, the secret menu Beef Wellington! A Truly delicious hidden gem. [but ssshhh, it’s secret] If you fancy trying the this hidden gem you will need to request this from your waiter, nicely. The Holborn Dining Room is definitely worth a visit. Here’s where you can book and find Holborn Dining Room… 020 3747 8633 High Holborn, London WC1V 7EN

Q: AMAZING SUSHI EVERYTIME! -MAGURO RESTAURANT

I had to take the time to tell you about the best Sushi restaurant in London called 'Maguro' in Little Venice. It's always been a favorite of mine but I hadn't been back in ages. I recently decided it was time for Sushi and I was local. wahooo The restaurant holds around 20 people so it's always best to book if you can. Everything on the menu is beautifully presented and tastes amazing! I will be back soon for more delicious Sushi and of course Sashimi. 5 Lanark Pl, London W9 1BT 020 7289 4353

Q: THE WIGMORE - NOT JUST ANY OLD PUB

When I got an invite to the openng of The Wigmore I was delighted! Not only was the menu put together by Roux Jr's Roux but I'm also a fan of the Langham Hotel (who isn't) I was told they were bringing together a traditional British pub with a luxury feel. And they have that very thing! Sometimes it can be hard to get a table in the bar at the Langham Hotel so The Wigmore solves all these over capacity problems without the compromise. The deco is devine! It has been designed by Martin Brudnizki who is the man behind the Sexy Fish and 45 Jermyn St decor. It has free wifi and a cute snug that you can work by day whilst having your favourite drink and/or delicious meal. It has free wifi and a cute snug that you can work by day whilst having your favourite drink and/or delicious meal. You will definitely find me in the snug with a cocktail!.

Q: THE PALOMAR IS POPULAR

I first went to The Palomar back in 2015 when it first opened. I was impressed from the start and regularly go back with friends. The menu is influenced by the rich cultures of Southern Spain, North Africa and the Levant, which is what? I hear you ask... its delicious israeli cuisine in my opinion. Do try to sit at the bar to watch the chefs cook the meals, its worth the expirennce and they are upbeat and quick to recommed the best dishes on the menu. This is a fun restaurant. I guarantee it will get your taste buds flowing with new and exciting dishes. 34 Rupert Street, Chinatown, London W1D 6DN 020 74398777
