Recipease - Mexican Street Food


Recipease is the perfect solution for a unique date plan; in all honesty I’m not a big fan of the cinema so I’m always on the hunt for something new to do. When walking through Notting hill earlier this year we came across the Recipease store, a great location just outside Notting Hill Station with a buzzin atmosphere, at first we thought it was a food store but on entering we were surprised to see a large worktop area with what appeared to be a cookery class in full swing. We saw people make fresh pasta, cooking machines you only ever see on tv, vegetable dicing skills entertaining enough to watch all day, accompanied with plenty of wine and laughter.


After enquiring we booked ourselves in for a Mexican street food class, both Gurpreet and myself are massive Mexican fans.
After a quick induction on what end of the knife to use we were put to the test and got cracking with fixing up what would be our dinner.
We made soft corn, hand-pressed tortillas with three delicious toppings; sticky smoked chipotle chicken, sautéed spinach with herbs and feta cheese, and a spicy roasted corn salsa. For sides we whipped up smashed guacamole and a chunky tomato salsa.


It definitely put us through our paces, keeping up with the group and working together as a team - great fun and lots of laughs. Jamie’s Champions were brilliant chefs and amazing tutors. There is a large selection of courses to pick from, possibly Pasta Master next! Hope you guys are having a wonderful weekend.

Brownie Time


Crisp Autumn days are the best, clear skies, sun shining and the opportunity to layer up and get cosy. Obviously if you don’t layer up enough you end up kicking yourself and if you over layer you end up stripping, it’s that ying-yang balance right? If you manage to find a blanket like coat then you are on to a winner. I picked this coat up last year in Marks & Spencer from the Limited Edition collection and there’s no chance of me getting rid of it any time soon. It is the equivalent of walking around with a fur duvet wrapped around you. The fur is definitely a great insulator and sure does keep you warm when you’re out and about.
Walking around Notting Hill before my cooking class at Recipease I stopped off for a hot chocolate and brownie. I have a huge soft spot for chocolate brownies, time of day does not affect my decision; If it’s on the menu, I’m having it!

Sunday Fluttering


My latest obsession is hunting for Mews in London, they harbour oodles of character and are so beautiful; I found this one on a trip to Notting Hill. Potted plants and pastel walls were the perfect eye candy for a Sunday morning adventure.
My hummingbird jumper is from a new printed collection designed by Peter Ting for Oasis. The flutter collection is beautifully collated with prints and silhouettes, designed around a bluesy palette. Check it out here I’m sure you will be able to find a style piece to add to your autumn wardrobe.
