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 …
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 …
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.
By now you should be well aware that Elldrew have a slight truffle fetish. We’ve previously blogged about our truffle adventures in Croatia and our Christmas truffle dining at The Savoy in London, so it would be naïve for us not to try London’s latest “And” venue (Prosecco and truffles bar), Trufflesecco.
For a perfect dish, suitable for even the fussiest of eaters, totally vegan free and absolutely delicious, you can’t go past this Moorish aubergines plate from Jose Pizarro.

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.
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 …
Unlike a 4 year leap-year we have promised ourselves not to wait that long before we enjoy the spoils of Semilla restaurant, Paris, again. Spotted, whilst sitting one afternoon having an afternoon crepe and glass of red from the opposite side of the road, we wrote down the name of this modern industrial looking restaurant …
When it comes to quick and easy pasta dishes full of flavour, it’s hard to pass by a classic spaghetti bolognese (it’s called classic for a reason). Perfect for satisfying loads of hungry mouths for lunch or dinner, or eating and freezing leftovers for a later date, we think we’ve found the best bolognese sauce yet… Serves 6 …
