Perfect Pizza at The Stable, Birmingham
There are some great places to find really good Pizza in Birmingham, but The Stable on John Bright Street must be one of the best. It has a menu that is full of delicious pizza combinations. and also has a range of over 80 ciders that you can team with them, making this perfect pitstop for a refuel on a shopping day. In addition, a great outside space is just glorious, especially when the mercury is hitting over 70 degrees, which it was on the Sunday we paid a family trip. With a relaxed atmosphere, and a child friendly menu and staff, you can easily enjoy fantastic food and a…

So how much do you know about Olive Oil?
No, this is not a post about Popeye’s girlfriend, but a post about one of those kitchen essentials that we just seem to grab from the supermarket shelf without really paying attention to what we are buying. There can’t be a kitchen out there that doesn’t have a bottle of Olive Oil in it, but how do you choose your oil, and are you really choosing the right one for purpose? Jamie’s Italian restaurant have been pondering the same questions, and have produced a rather handy guide to all things ‘oil’. As someone who is married to an Italian, and rather obsessed with salads that are slathered in Extra Virgin…

MOMA – A new idea for breakfast
I’m not really a breakfast person, but it is the most important meal of the day and one that really shouldn’t be missed out. Muesli is a great way of getting some goodness at breakfast time, but with very little time needed to create something nutritious and delicious. Now there is a new range of Bircher Muesli on the market that is offering something different in both flavour and the way you eat it. MOMA Bircher Muesli is a gluten free range that contains no added sugar. It is an oat mix that contains fruits and seeds including raisins, apple. sunflower and pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, raspberries and blackcurrants. A…

Happy 1st Birthday Nosh & Quaff
Last week saw one of Birmingham’s most popular and unusual restaurants celebrate it’s 1st birthday. And, because this is the restaurant that saucily encourages its patrons with the suggestion ‘Let’s Get Messy’, Nosh & Quaff celebrated in some style, with Pornstar Bellinis, live entertainment and some fabulous new dishes. It was quite a night. Nosh & Quaff is a restaurant that I had not visited until last week, mainly because of its reputation as the best place to eat Lobster in Birmingham. As everyone I know seemed to have tried the said lobster – getting messy in the process, and as I hate lobster, I didn’t think this was the…

Afternoon Tea at Chi Kitchen
Chi Kitchen is, without doubt, one of my favourite places to dine in Birmingham. So when I received an invite to try the Chi Kitchen take on afternoon tea I was super intrigued. Chi Kitchen serves a glorious mixture of dishes that can be described as Pan- Asian, whereas afternoon tea is the most English of dishes. So how, exactly, would this work. The answer is that the twist on afternoon tea, served with that Pan Asian Twist, is exceedingly good. Afternoon tea is always best when there is an addition of Prosecco, and at Chi Kitchen, this was a deliciously crisp variety, with the addition of a cherry in…
