The start of something new
I tried this whole food account thing on tiktok, but something about writing it down was so much more appealing. So, welcome. I plan on divulging all of London’s best kept secrets; all the best restaurants and bakeries - the good, the bad, and the overpriced! I might even be tempted to throw in a recipe or two, or even a recommendations list from somewhere else across the globe.
Who?
Hey! I’m Emilia, I’m 22 and I’m from London. I studied Classics at University and am currently working in Technology Risk, so I have zero qualifications for the content of this blog, but I suppose enjoyment and a love for food is a qualification in itself.
Why?
A few years ago, my love for new places and new foods really grew. I was quite a picky eater when I was younger, and it always took a lot to get me to try anything. I don’t really know what changed. I think I just saw all of these fun restaurants and knew I would be missing out if I didn’t explore! I still might not eat a tongue, but otherwise I’m pretty happy to try anything!
So,
I eat out a lot. More than most, other than perhaps the Michelin star givers and some established food critics, or Kaitlyn Lavery trying all the top 100 NYC restaurants. I plan to do reviews in batch, unless there is a restaurant so stand out that it deserves a whole page. You never know! I suppose the frequency depends on how much I eat. Or cook. Autumn season is upon us and that does usually mean a lot of baking! Below is a picture of some cookies I baked last night. Topped with flaky sea salt for the final touch. They weren’t my best - we baked them at a friends house and as I stressed at the time, my most successful baking is done alone. But a warm chocolate chip cookie can never be bad. Apparently these tasted like the Pret cookies - I’ve never tried one but I know mine are less than £3 per cookie…
Next,
I will be doing as promised and actually sharing some of my favourite summer eats. Hit the button below to always know when I’ve posted, and let me know if there are any restaurants you want me to review!
