Pancakes for the Weekend
In anticipation of the weekend, may we bring you one Venn Diagram, and three recipes.
The Speakeasy Atmosphere Takes Us Back
If you’re looking for the next new thing why not try something new - that’s old? Elegantly coming to life around town are the step-back-in-time cocktail bars, giving us taste of times gone by in the midst of London's trendiest quarters.
The Taste of Austerity: Watermelon
The only problem with watermelon is cutting it up. It's big and heavy, it requires a huge knife, and even worse, about 10 minutes of your time. But a snack, a cocktail, and a salad, all from just one? Well worth the effort.

Beyond Placing an Order
Restaurants are starting to teach waiters to read their tables. Want to know what you're saying?
The Jugged Hare, Barbican
I have to admit that I have a bar crush. No, it's not a drink, but an infatuation with a certain bar group. (Sad, I know, but this happens when you spend most of you spare time in eating and drinking establishments.)
Is Your Kitchen Stocked?
A few days ago, a friend sent us this article from Canada's Globe & Mail: The 16 cooking tools every home kitchen needs. And we thought we were well stocked...
The Parlour, Canary Wharf
This is a golden anniversary year. Not only does our Queen Elizabeth celebrate her 50th year on the throne, but I have reached a similar landmark. No, I haven’t turned 50 just yet, but two years after the lifestyle editor for this magazine decided to take a chance on me, I’ve chalked up my 50th review for HITC Life.
The Taste of Austerity: Copycat Recipes
We are regulars at the recipe box for our favourite coopycat recipe: Houston's Grilled Chicken Salad. Now we've found 10 more recipes to make at home (and let's forget austerity for a moment; this means healthier, too).
The Oyster Shed, London Bridge
My first job as a new arrival in London was at BZW – the venerable and illustrious predecessor of Barclays Capital that had its offices in Tower Hill and London Bridge. And although I was based at Royal Mint Court, we spent a lot of time at the London Bridge office on Angel Lane - for work and pleasure, as it happened.
Ambar, ODEON, Swiss Cottage
It’s funny how much going to the cinema has changed. What was once a visit to the 'pictures' to eat frozen ice creams and dodgy popcorn (while surrounded by hormonal teenagers trying to cop a snog) has transformed into a very grown-up night out.

Five of the Best
Things we love, things we want, things we want to do, and things we think are just cool, interesting, or at least noteworthy.
- No doubt: these are the hippest speakers that could ever possibly bookend your computer. Is your music collection ready?
- An idea for your next rendezvous in Paris (or crazy weekend with friends): a private cruise in a motorboat for three hours of Champagne-fueled romance (or fun).
- While we are rarely ones to turn down a charitable opportunity, how about taking that pile of spring cleaning cast-offs to a car boot sale? We're pretty sure you could get a new handbag out of the proceeds...
- We're loving this bold, striped tie from Paul Stuart. The meek need not click.
- The coolest personalised cufflinks around are these. They include words, names or places, which run off the surface creating a rather ambiguous stream of letters. (And let's face it: a bit of mystery never hurt anyone.)
