A week with a bit of this and that. Although I won’t be writing about Mix by Alain Ducasse (mainly because it was not an experience I can say nice things about, AED420 for pasta, why?). Fortunately, the company (my new book club) was lovely. The […]
And no, this isn’t going to be one of those articles where it’s all ‘ha ha, when I said hate, I meant love.’ So, I’m starting 2019 out on a spectacularly negative note, and I hope you don’t mind. As much as I try and love […]
