    For a professional pizza maker, the Margherita is like an a cappella singing performance. There’s nowhere to hide, no backup or camouflage — the pizza maker lives or dies on the quality of their technique and ingredients: dough, a smear of tomato sauce, a sprinkling of cheese and a scattering of basil. For many, this…

    MìLà Soup Dumplings Make Me Feel Like a Chef

    Food is my love language. Sure, it’s necessary for survival, but it’s also a way to bond with your loved ones and show someone you’re thinking about them. Some of my favorite memories involve holiday feasts, but I also love sitting down for a warm, feel-good meal with my cats and the perfect background TV…

  • Riviera review: Cote d’Azur vibes in central London

    Located just minutes from Green Park, and opened in spring this year, Riviera is the new belle on the block on St James’s Street in central London.

  • Sweet Retreat serves savory Asian food along with ice cream, teas and slushes

    “Sweet Retreat” doesn’t sound like the name of a place that specializes in Asian food, but as I discovered last weekend, that is indeed the case. They do serve ice cream as well, but more on that later. Some of you may recall that I’m quite the fan of poke, so when I heard that…

  • Restaurant review: Zephyros, Larnaca

    Restaurant review: Zephyros, Larnaca

    Restaurants come and go but some past the test of time and become well established. If you live in Larnaca, you will definitely know Zephyros, which has been in operation since 1976. I hadn’t been to Zephyros for a very long time and so when someone suggested we go one sunny Saturday afternoon I was…
