What do you do when you’re craving hearty wholesome food, but the weather is so bad, you just can’t be bothered to venture out? I have a suggestion for you. Get your coat on, and head off to Riva at Rose Cottage in Matlock Bath. With Storm Abigail threatening to make an appearance this weekend in Derby, I very nearly…
Italian food is one of the most popular cuisines in the world, frequently appearing on top ten lists over the years. It also happens to be one of my favourite types of food, which is why this Derby foodie couldn’t wait to check out Zizzi on Friargate, Derby. We had a booking for Saturday lunch-time and were promptly shown to…
Hello all, how are you doing? It’s mid-week and despite being given the moniker of “Hump Day”, this Derby foodie has a spring in her step and smile on her face. Why?

Of course being out on the road meant that I got zero (fictional) writing done. Juggling a day job, the food blogging and writing books is great fun,…
Hi All, How are you doing? So this is my second post in as many days. I just had to jump online because I had a reminder in my diary that the deadline for nominations for the Derby Food & Drink Awards is less than 2 weeks away. And we all know that time will whizz by oh so quick,…
Hello All, How have you been? I hope you’ve had a great weekend. What has this Derby foodie been up to? Quite a lot, actually.
