If you’re on Instagram and you follow any fitness enthusiasts, you have probably seen the meme which says “Summer bodies are made in the winter”. For all of our sakes, we hope not. We don’t know about you, but we’ve been mostly on the carbohydrates since November. We blame the weather, illness and work! (And … Continue reading
When we were growing up, our grandmother made almost everything from scratch – yoghurt, paneer (Indian cheese), curries, stir fries, soups, bread, pickles, desserts and even crisps at one point. We say almost, and that was only because she didn’t have room for farmyard animals, if so, we’re sure she would collect her own milk … Continue reading
One of our favourite Chinese restaurants in London is Pearl Liang, in Paddington. We normally go when we have a craving for reasonably priced dim sum in super girly surroundings and it never disappoints.

And by then, you’ve figured out you have a favourite. In fact, … Continue reading
Sometimes life can get a little hectic. We fill up our days with lots of activities and errands, fun things and quite a lot of not so fun things. We cook, we clean, we work, we shop, we fix, we organise, we collect, we travel, we socialise. We’re trained to be as productive as possible … Continue reading
January normally makes you want to retreat into your shell. You’ve eaten too much, you’ve certainly drunk too much and you’ve spent too much money. You’ve stayed up too late watching boxsets and you haven’t exercised. So in January, you vow to do the opposite. No chocolate for me, you say, I’m supposed to be … Continue reading
Remember all those chocolatey-sugary treats you ate when you couldn’t help yourself after a long, frustrating day at work? Or maybe it wasn’t frustrating, you just really like refined carbohydrates. Let’s make it all better. Don’t worry. You can do this. I mean, we’re on your side. We’re not going to make you eat rabbit … Continue reading
So the combination of heavy workloads, semi winter last week and not a lot of R&R time means we’ve been feeling a little run down lately. Which means we’re craving comfort food in a big way! Comfort food means different things to different people; pizza, fries, shepherd’s pie, chocolate cake, mashed potato, burgers, curry … Continue reading
