From the Banks of the Ganges to Berkeley Square: The Story Behind Benares Restaurant
There are restaurants named after places, and then there are restaurants that carry the soul of a place within every dish they serve. Benares Restaurant in London falls firmly into the latter category, and understanding why starts with a city thousands of miles away.

Takeaway vs Home Cooking
Introduction I was just thinking about how takeaways are generally seen as bad, whereas home cooking is good. I do find the home delivery services sort of annoying. I was recently in my corner shop, and someone had ordered a delivery of frozen mashed potato. The cost of the frozen mashed potato was £1.20, but the bill for delivery was six pounds.

Banana, Coconut and Ginger
Okay so I have to admit that I took a couple of days to process this one because I had no idea how to work in the banana. It seemed really foreign to me when it came to getting fresh banana into my biscuit. For the cake, it was quite simple to mash the fruit up and put it into the mixture. So let's just say I wasn't expecting too much out of the biscuits...

Why Phuket’s Food Scene Appeals to International Travellers
Phuket’s food scene isn’t built around a single cuisine or a fixed dining style. It operates through constant movement – seafood arriving through coastal areas such as Rawai and Chalong, fresh produce circulating through markets like Banzaan Market, and prepared dishes appearing across streets, cafés, and restaurants at different times of the day. Travellers often move between familiar dishes and lesser-known local options within the same area. One turn might lead to pad thai, while another leads to kanom jeen, served with regional curries. This variety makes the food scene easier to explore without detailed planning.

Orange, Tarragon and Honey
Welcome back to another episode of cake vs cookie and today the flavour profile is orange, tarragon and honey. I have to admit that I've never actually had tarragon before and so, I had no idea what it was going to taste/smell like. When I bought the herbs, I found that they smelt like liquorice and had quite a strange flavour when I popped all the elements into my mouth together. The orange and tarragon together was refreshing and the honey brought a sweetness to it. Of course, I don't actually eat cakes and cookies and so this whole thing is judged by my mother who, every couple of days, I force-feed dessert items to.

Buck’s Bar — Glasgow, Scotland
After living in Glasgow for 10 years now I’ve come realise that a Scottish winter is like an angry dog scratching at your door, barking and salivating and waiting for you to come outside so it can gnaw on your leg, leaving you writhing in agony and suffering and questioning why you ever left the comfort of your slightly less damp and chilly flat. It’s been raining for weeks here in Glasgow, which is typical for January/February, and the flooding on some streets (while fun to drive through) are getting a bit out of control, and starting to feel a bit apocalyptic. In spite of the torrential weather, or perhaps as a result of it, I found myself once again bowing to the demands of my empty stomach, so I donned my layers, grabbed my umbrella, and left for a walk into the city centre of Glasgow to get some dinner (aka dat gravy).

Researchers investigating sea slugs find the most effective method for enhancing human memory.
Sea slug neurons best enhance long-term memory when a second learning experience takes place 24 hours following the first; shorter or longer intervals do not have the same effect, according to research. This little window implies that cells have an internal clock that determines when fresh data may be reinforced and stored.
