The Little Lasagna Blog

Behold my new favourite recipe & food blog: The Pasta The Meat The Cheese The Sauce. This here blog was very recently created by the youngest member of the incredibly talented Lasagna family. Yes this is a real family who actually hold the last name "Lasagna" - from their name alone you should be able to tell that they are incredible gifted when it comes to making good food. If you don't believe me, you can try out some of these blog recipes OR visit their family restaurant, Terrazza on Harbord Street. All I can say is: Buon Appetito! xo

Sunday Roast At The Roebuck

Last Sunday was a very long and very stressful moving day. Poor Nina from Paris had to endure the whole things with us! Its a part of her trip to London she'll probably never forget, but would like to I'm sure!

Anyway, once we finally got ourselves to Chiswick and could relax, we treated ourselves to three fantastic roast chicken dinners, lots of wine and even dessert! Best of all the weather was amazing and we got to sit in their lovely back garden in the sunshine.

If you're in the area, I recommend popping by, for more info click HERE xo

416 Snack Bar

"Hey Look! Snacks + Booze!"

Hallelujah! The bar of my dreams is finally open, and it's been opened by one of my friends! Snacks and booze from 5pm-2am on the daily? I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be moving into that joint this summer! TO darling, Adrian Ravinsky, opened up 416 Snack Bar this week, situated just north of Queen on Bathurst, with business partner David Stewart. Three years ago, Adrian aka "Age" launched 416 Snack Bar - the blog - which documented is quest to find culinary perfection. After working at top TO restaurants including Ferro, Brassaii, Buca and Gilead, I'm so happy to hear that Adrian has opened up his own snack spot - set to become one of the city's faves in no time, no doubt. Good luck boys! Can't wait to come by and try it out. For those of you in the city now, well, whatcha waiting for!? Click HERE for more info.

A Lebanese Lunch In London

A couple of days ago mum and I met up for lunch and I took her to Comptoir Libanais, just behind Selfridges. My boss introduced me to this wonderful little cafe for the first time just before the holidays - the food was good and the interior was beyond cute, clearly Joli loved! Mum also gave it her seal of approval on Tuesday afternoon - I highly recommend the grilled chicken wrap with salad, mint tea and baklava to finish - delish! They have a few different locations around London, check out which is nearest you by clicking HERE.

A Little Fancy Birthday

1. Beautiful birthday lilacs

2. Meghan's hungry and Simon wants some too!

3. The birthday girl!

4. We were all taking pics not ignoring each other, I swear.

5. Cake and candles for Donna!

Last Wednesday, Torontonians gathered in Dalston to celebrate the 29th birthday of the lovely Donna. A Little of What You Fancy was the restaurant of choice for the evening, and I could not believe I had never notice such a gem of a place in the midst of the, well, ghetto (don't be upset Dalston, I do love you). The resto is situated on Kingsland Road and specializes in cooking authentic British food and selling fresh produce from local growers and suppliers. That's right, fresh food from local neighborhood gardens - you know how Joli feels about Urban Farming! The next time you find yourself hungry and wandering the streets of Dalston, I highly recommend stopping by and treating yourself to a little of what you fancy!
