So it was my birthday yesterday. Somehow I ended up doing rather a lot of things to celebrate reaching my quarter century. This involved two of my friends visiting me in Harrogate for the first time. We ended up eating out rather a lot and also visiting the Turkish baths. (Now the Turkish baths are well worth a visit, we left feeling amazingly relaxed and … Continue reading Jinnah – Harrogate
So tonight my friends and I decided to have a casual meal out and a catch up after work. We actually do all work in the same place, but it gets busy and its nice to spend quality time together outside of work. My friend DC suggested Vivido as it has a decent early bird menu and she’d heard some good reviews. Inside Vivido is … Continue reading Vivido – Harrogate
So, I haven’t quite jumped onto the instagram bandwagon yet (I probably should for blogging purposes). However, having more than a passing interest in food, I tend to collect photos of beautiful food in every form. A lot of these pictures are things my friends have made or are meals in restaurants I’ve reviewed. I hope you enjoy having a look at my food (and … Continue reading Food gawking
So my friend (we’ll call her Ed for the basis of the post) and I are doing a course of climbing lessons. It’s really fun and good exercise and there has been some joking about eating protein before going to strengthen our muscles. Well as we’re climbing at the Harrogate climbing centre near to me I am taking full advantage of cooking for someone else; … Continue reading Baked sea bass with chilli and lemon
I paid a second visit to So! a few weeks ago when my friend Jo came to stay. Its fast becoming a favourite of mine as it has tasty food, a chilled out atmosphere, and its reasonably priced. I suggested So! as I knew the quality of food was good and there is a variety of dishes on the menu (naturally, when you want your … Continue reading Another trip to So!
One of my little cousins (well not so little as he’s now 21 and has been towering over me since he was 13) celebrated his 21st birthday this New Years Eve. As my family love to celebrate special occasions by eating lovely food my Aunt and Uncle organised a pre birthday meal after Christmas at Bar and Grill in Harrogate. (Apologies for the late blogging, … Continue reading Bar and Grill Harrogate – Private dining fun
I suppose I am pretty lucky that Harrogate regularly has a street market which is decent and actually sells things I want to buy (cheese, salami, deli items). Well feeling sad when my boyfriend went home after visiting me I impulse bought a whole load of olives not really considering how big the box is. I’m not even sorry! Continue reading Oops
The Damn Yankee is a firm favourite with the people of Harrogate. It is an American and Tex Mex restaurant that offers a range of burgers, steaks and assorted items from the grill as well as Mexican style favourites such as chimichangas and burritos. The menu is pretty cheap, the food is tasty and they do a pretty good range of cocktails which makes them … Continue reading The Damn Yankee
As a Yorkshire girl at heart and someone lucky enough to live in Harrogate I am literally spoiled for choice when it comes to eating delicious food. As a rule I am not averse to eating food from chain restaurants and actually love some of them (I have something of a Wagamama obsession) it’s always great when you find somewhere local that does delicious food … Continue reading So!
