Weekly Love: Week 46
If you’ve ever wondered what sort of music I listen to while I’m in the kitchen, what constitutes my idea of the ultimate comfort food, or where my favourite places are in London to eat at the moment (you can find all of my ‘Places To Eat In London‘ reviews here), the team at Recipes Plus caught up with me for a bit of a chat about my blog and where I get my kitchen inspiration from. You can read the interview here.

1. The blooms are starting to get colourful outside Liberty’s. | 2. I’ve found my favourite Southern style barbecue at Porky’s on Bankside. Full review to follow next week! | 3. Indulging with dippy eggs and anchovy butter soldiers. | 4. Meeting with the Shopstyle team to talk upcoming projects over juices at The Riding House Cafe. | 5. Enjoying the latest issue of Jamie Magazine with a fluffy pile of pancakes with fresh raspberries, and doused in maple syrup on Sunday morning. | 6. Long weekend country walks in the brilliant Kent sunshine.

- On that note, this video showing American kids eating breakfasts from around the world is both adorable and priceless. However, I take back what I just said about wishing I’d gone to school in Brazil for the lunches – I feel they get the short straw, here!

Something new for Weekly Love this week. I’m pretty much always looking at pretty new clothes, shoes, home, kitchen and beauty items online, or while I’m killing time at the shops between meetings in the city, or waiting for my train at the station. (I’m surprised more damage has not been done already to my bank balance with Joules, L’Occitane, The White Company, Jo Malone, Whistles and Aspinals all at St. Pancras!) So, at the end of each Weekly Love I’m going to be choosing five items I either already own and have been particularly loving over the past fortnight, or I’ve been lusting after in store. Call it my mini shopping edit, if you will!
