Here at Planet Elldrew we never need much of an excuse to throw a party, so Mama Elldrew’s spring High Tea birthday was in fact the perfect excuse. With a rather cold and grey winter behind us and spring having sprung in a typically English “sprung a leak” rainy kind of a way, we wanted …
A lazy Sunday with a few leftover ingredients in the fridge and Elldrew turn to their favourite cookery books to pass the time. On this week’s menu was the Hummingbird Bakery’s amazing Lemon and Thyme Drizzle (or Loaf) cake. It’s so delicious and so easy to make that we whipped one up for Ell’s …
A 3rd wedding anniversary might only be the “leather” anniversary but for Elldrew it was the opportunity to join friends and splash out at one of London’s swankiest and most highly acclaimed restaurants – the 3 Michelin starred Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester. We were just in time to enjoy head chef Jocelyn Herland’s new 2014 …
Ever since we first heard about these surprising, tricky and colourful cakes Elldrew have been itching to try their hand at the much fabled Rainbow Cake; so an invitation to an English Easter tea party was the perfect excuse. Our hosts are renowned as excellent cooks and so not wanting to leave anything to chance …
We LOVE these lemon chicken sandwiches so much that they need a shout-out.

We have realised we’ve been to Berners Tavern twice now and have not said a word about it – shame on us. It’s absolutely brilliant! Berners Tavern is the restaurant in The London Edition that opened in 2013, the first in a new luxury range of hotels from the Marriott Group, breathing new life into …
One thing you notice when visiting Italy is the simplicity that goes into creating delicious pasta dishes; just a few core ingredients can produce a flavoursome meal in no time. A Monday evening favourite for Elldrew is Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Speck Tagliatelle. With just 5 mins prep and 15 mins cooking time, this tasty …
The perfect blog to follow a savoury dim sum one is surely something sweet and sugary? Some recipes don’t need to be messed with when it comes to creating delicious treats, so if you’re looking for a simple but tasty brownie recipe, then this one should hit the spot.
With all the new restaurants popping up around Kings Cross since the redevelopment, Elldrew had previously had a lovely meal at Camino Spanish restaurant, so we were looking for somewhere to dine in the area again when we came across Karpo. Actually located on Euston Road opposite the station, away from all the new restaurants, …
