Elldrew love tiramisu; that perfect blend of coffee, a little alcohol and a lot of cream. It’s one of our favourite desserts if the tiramisu recipe is made just right, so not having an Italian bone in either of our bodies it’s taken us years – and many attempts – to perfect what is now …
They say you can never have too much of a good thing, so on a second visit in as many years to the lovely Hotel Can Faustino located in the old Ciutadella on the Spanish island of Menorca, we couldn’t wait to return to eat at some of our previous favourite restaurants, as well as …
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.
Early in 2017, after years in hibernation, the old Midland Bank headquarters in the City re-emerged butterfly-like and transformed into London’s hottest new destination hotel, The Ned, run by the uber-chic and contemporary Soho House & Co.

It’s also perfectly acceptable to cook and eat in your pj’s, with a large brew of coffee and fresh OJ, calorie counting …
Following a recent holiday to Sweden, with three nights at the infamous Ice Hotel (separate blog to follow) we had the opportunity to dine at the Nordic inspired, newly opened London branch of restaurant Aquavit.
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 …
One of the first recipes Ell remembers making was a Carbonnade of Beef (Carbonnade Flamande) stew, taken from a 1970’s Good Housekeeping magazine.
