I'm not fussy, I'm just Pesci

By my final year of uni I had officially had enough; with the stress from exams loading up I had grown tired of doctors prescribing steroid creams with ambiguous side effects, I decided that it was time I worked from the inside out and researched the best diet to heal my skin.

So while I'd love to confess that I gave up meat to combat animal cruelty, deforestation caused by the need for more space to house livestock or some other nobel ethical reason. Unfortunately my initial reason for adopting a pescetarian (also called pesco-vegetarian diet) was what some would consider to be pretty shallow - purely for aesthetic reasons. 


I have been a victim of eczema from birth - yes victim because it is a seriously irritating dry skin condition which like a bad smell continues to come back with a vengeance - until I changed my diet.

Lobster Kitchen
111 Great Russell Street

This week I really fancied lobster, and lobster specifically. Not seafood – lobster! The obvious choice is Burger and Lobster, one of the only places in London you can pay £20 for a full lobster but going against the norm is always fun right?

Who remembers the days when TGI Fridays was the place to be? Its affordably priced American diner experience with quirky waiting staff had us feeling like it was Friday everyday. Then times changed. More diners opened and the market became rather saturated, its popularity dropped as did the standard of their food. Lets just say, it looks like Bubba Gump Shrimp Co picked up where TGI’s somewhat fell off…

When In Doubt… Eat Italian!!!

This week, we took a trip to La Pietra, a quaint rustic Italian spot. 
Tucked away in Shoredtich La Pietra is the perfect hybrid between a hip, artistic yet corporate restaurant, perfectly fitting its location.
