24 hours in Ghent – where to eat, drink & make merry

Posted on June 13, 2016 by pip & little blue • 2 Comments

Following on from my Bruges post chronicling the edible delights of our recent trip (read all about it here), we also popped over to Ghent, just 30 minutes from Bruges by train. And we were rather bowled over by the place. Don’t tell anyone from Bruges but Ghent feels like Bruges’ slightly trendier younger sibling. For what it lacks … Continue reading →

If you’re planning your next foodie city break, why not head to picture-perfect Bruges in the Flanders region of Belgium?

A stone’s throw from Brussels, it’s a fittingly sumptuous medieval backdrop to eat and drink yourself into a … Continue reading →

This post was born out of necessity. A couple of weeks ago, I told my uni mates that I would book somewhere for our annual Christmas knees-up*. We do it every year and every year, EVERY YEAR, we find ourselves trying to work out where to go, in a city heaving with restaurants – world-class ones, … Continue reading →

I love Islington! Finally, FINALLY, I’ve got my act together and compiled a list of my absolute favourite foodie hang-outs in this vibrant part of London I now call home.

Pintxos bar crawl in San Sebastian, Spain

Posted on March 11, 2015 by pip & little blue • 4 Comments

Just a few miles from the French border in the Basque region of Spain sits San Sebastian, petite and perfectly-formed. The city and surrounding hills boast no fewer than 16 Michelin stars at the last count so it’s no wonder the region has become a veritable foodie mecca (click here for my review of Martin … Continue reading →

“Gorrotxategi” egg resting on a herb liquid salad and dewlap carpaccio. The boyfriend and I spent a foodie few days in San Sebastian at the end of June, intent on smothering ourselves in pintxos and lolling about between meals, digesting in the sun like greedy reptiles. We had promised ourselves a blow-out meal at one of the … Continue reading →

pip & little blue

My name is Jamila and I am a passionate cook, amateur photographer and food writer based in London. I have recently quit the day job and gone back to school to train in the art of cookery at Le Cordon Bleu! My recipes feature fresh, simple, seasonal ingredients (mainly fruit & veggies). I draw a lot of inspiration from my travels to different countries and cultures so you’ll find a real melting pot of flavours rubbing up against the more familiar classics. As I suffer from CFS/ME, many of my recipes also have a nutritional focus as I try to navigate the minefield of chronic illness and heal myself one bite at a time. Bon appetit!
