Aside from its party island reputation Ibiza also has its fair share of gastronomic experiences. So, on a recent short break, Elldrew eschewed the nightclubs in favour of a more sophisticated food focused holiday.

Orlebar Brown Travel Tote
We are loving the latest Orlebar Brown collaboration with TUMI: the Slim Aarons’ iconic Roc Pool print tote. A few years back we purchased an Orlebar Brown (OB) drawstring duffle bag, which has made its annual appearance on all our summer holidays. Built to last with a capacity to hold everything you could possibly need …
No-Bake White Chocolate Cheesecake
Sometimes you try and recreate a restaurant dessert and it’s a disaster, other times you manage to make it even better than the original (subject to opinion of course). This easy no-bake white chocolate cheesecake falls into the latter and is one of our standby go-to desserts; it’s a big serving but it’s also rare …
Forest Restaurant, Selfridge’s Rooftop
Selfridges rooftop dining continues to provide one of the best vibes and taste sensations in London, thanks to the team from Des McDonald Consultancy, who already have a loyal following at their Q Grill and Vintage Salt restaurants. This summer the rooftop was transformed into the Forest Restaurant & Bar, bringing an abundance of fresh …
Fennel and Pork Pappardelle
This quick and easy fennel and pork pappardelle recipe has come a favourite in the Elldrew household. Fennel and pork are the perfect pairing when it comes to this herbalisicous dish. We have made this dish using both mince from sausages and supermarket bought pork mince. We will admit that there are more flavours in …
Best Restaurant Guide: Ciutadella, Menorca
With every trip away we like to investigate the local restaurant scene in the hope of finding hidden gems, or places on trend, to dine in…or at least get an idea of places to avoid. TripAdvisor is a great source of information for restaurant rankings, and if you can be bothered scrolling through reviews, you …
Hotel Can Faustino, Menorca
This summer, Elldrew spent a week in Ciutadella, a historical city situated on the west coast of Menorca. Having enjoyed breaks in Ibiza and Mallorca we were excited about experiencing our last unvisited Balearic Island (Spain) so we booked ourselves in for a week’s much needed R&R at Hotel Can Faustino.
Dietary Dining: Imaginative simple dishes
Over the years Elldrew have blogged about lunch and dinner entertaining we’ve hosted, they’re always great fun and the perfect opportunity to catch-up with family or friends and try out new recipes. Last weekend we probably had our biggest challenge to date. To prepare a luncheon for guests who are vegetarian, gluten and egg free.
Montecatini Terme, Italy
If you’re looking for an ideal Tuscan destination for a summer holiday then look no further than the ancient thermal spa-town of Montecatini Terme, Italy. Nestled between the seaside tourist destination of Pisa and the equally tourist heavy romantic city of Florence – an easy commute by car, train or bus (approx 50 kms to …
Zesty Courgette Spaghetti
One of the great things about the internet is the constant inspiration it provides. We recently scrolled across a photo of this wonderful looking zesty courgette spaghetti pasta dish, deliciously created and shot by Australian food stylist @tracyvalentinawood who we follow on Instagram. Tracy’s Insta account is full of amazing dishes she creates and well …
