Last weekend I went to Taste of London in Regent’s Park with my younger sister Alanna. Taste of London, otherwise known as the ‘World’s Greatest Restaurant Festival’, is a chance for London’s top foodie establishments to come together to make a collection of pop up
As many of you know, I am proud to be Yorkshire girl and after 4 years in London I am so happy to be able to once again call Yorkshire my home. Alongside my international travels, you can expect to see a bit more local content on The Travelista as I really want to inspire…
As a self-confessed lover of gin, I’m excited to share with you the perfect day out for gin lovers, which is hidden away in rural Hampshire, just 1 hour from London. I couldn’t contain my excitement when I received an invitation to visit Bombay Sapphire’s Laverstoke Mill in Hampshire. I’ve s
It’s no secret that cooking isn’t one of my fortes. I love to eat food from around the world, but if you were to ask me to recreate any of my favourite dishes, I’d probably do a terrible job. Before we went to Vietnam so many friends told me ‘you must do a Vietnamese cooking…
Travelista guest blogger Sophie Stewart recently enjoyed a foodie mini-break to Rome with her boyfriend., and as soon as she arrived back, I was pestering her for her top travel tips. Combining our two passions of travel and food, we’ve joined forces to tell you 10 things to know before visiti

My last trip of 2014 was a whirlwind fortnight in Dubai. The purpose of my trip was to help launch a new magazine out there that I edit and write for, a project which ended up being extended from 1 to 2 weeks – no complaints from my end. Whilst I didn’t get to spend…
Last weekend I scored major brownie points by treating my friend to a slap up meal at Belgravia’s new Japanese Peruvian Fusion restaurant; UNI. It was safe to say he was rather impressed. It wasn’t until I emerged from the flat with an SLR camera slung over my shoulder, he realised there wa
This month a male blogger friend and I were invited to experience dinner at Aqua Shard London, one of the restaurants sitting proudly on the 31st floor of London’s tallest building. Having eaten at and enjoyed Aqua Kyoto (Aqua’s Asian Fusion restaurant over on Argyle Street), I was
I moved to London almost 2 weeks ago and boy have I been busy. In amongst starting my new job, I’ve interviewed celebrities on a boat down the Thames, eaten Michelin star Spanish food, gone for a curry on the famous Brick Lane, met some awesome people, had a very fancy night out at Sushi&helli
I have an addiction. It’s an addiction that has spiralled out of control in the last couple of years and I sure as hell don’t intend on giving up. This addiction I speak of is Lebanese food! The succulent meats, the endless dips, the warm flatbreads, the consumption of garlic without measure or
