I have a new Sunday morning tradition - coffee, dog park and a pit stop at the Peter Pan Bakery in Greenpoint. Since donuts are my weakness, Peter Pan Bakery is my kryptonite. The selection of homemade donuts (no preservatives) are unreal – red velvet cake, marble crullers, chocolate cake, glazed sour cream, and [...]

The Book Kitchen was just one of a long list of recommendations I was given recently when I traveled to Sydney for Australian Fashion Week, and it turned out to be a real gem.

It’s a cute little spot, just across the road from The Bourke Street Bakery. Bourke Street and Crown Street in Surry [...]

Across the road from The Book Kitchen sits The Bourke Street Bakery. Nestled in the ground floor of a corner site, the service area is only about 4sq metres, and glass cabinets bursting with freshly-baked treats seem to surround you.

Next to each other these two little spots are my new favourites in London. I would recommend a large milk coffee and the fried eggs with sage from the cafe and to order a weekly box of organic local vegetables from the shop.

A tightly kept secret among the media crowd who swarm the place at lunch and dinner, queuing out the door for space at one of the red, leather banquette seats. There’s aubergine and tomato curry, cheesy burritos and my personal favourite - veggie burger of [...]

Andrew Edmonds
Andrew Edmonds in Soho, London is my favorite little restaurant. Little being the operative word here. With its wooden pew seating upstairs and closely packed tables in the dark basement it feels like you are eating in the vicars kitchen cupboard. Amazing seasonal ingredients add to the rustic bistro feel but [...]
