EATS- AKOKO, MAYFAIR
Innovation with a nod to tradition; I do love when chefs take risks with tastes and harness it into something daring and well… innovative. Akoko is such a place. Ten courses or so we had of the tasting menu, plate after plate of beautifully plated and splendidly delicious food. Located in Mayfair; check on that,…

AT HOME- SISÉ FOODS
In my house, rice is a religion, when I moved two years ago, I ate rice and stew for the first six months and nothing else. I am not a fan of cooking; my palette is strictly Nigerian and very partial to Italian but cooking, is a ball ache, so imagine my absolute joy when…

Brunch- Double D’s & Pastries
My one rule in fashion is NEVER DOUBLE DENIM. For a long time, too long possibly, I have hated, seriously hated this combination. There is something terribly heavy about the look, and I’ve simply never been endeared by it, until one morning I was faced with that old dilemma; I had nothing to wear. At least nothing…

The Kitchen Table: Jollof Rice and Chicken. Amen.
When it comes to food, I’m relatively easy- give me rice any day. I love rice, I eat rice every single day of my life. No lie. The day I don’t eat rice is the day something is wrong with me. As a child I couldn’t wait to grow up and not abide by my…

Eat- Le Relais de Venise
I’m not a big lover of steak, red meat and I have a rather weird and somewhat stormy relationship. I’ve sometimes found it much too heavy and most steak houses struggle to get the rare-medium-well done balance just right. Medium rare? oh dear. That being said, Le Relais de Venise is in a class of…
