Adventures in Piccadilly: new London street food market – with Michael Fassbender*
The thing about street food, for me, is that I always know that finding and then eating it takes me on some sort of an adventure. I’ve talked about this before, of course (see post on travelling around the world without leaving London here), but part of the reason for starting this blog was to […]

Interview: Dominic Cools-Lartigue, founder of StreetFeast London street food parties
Happy new year all. I hope you’ve all been enjoying Dry Gin-uary as much as I have… Now for this post, I thought I’d do something a bit different. I don’t know how many of you are familiar with Courier Mag, which celebrates independent businesses all over London… anyway it’s a great publication. And it […]

Round the world through London street food: memories of 2015
‘When we eat, we travel,’ wrote fellow food writer and friend Mina Holland in her book The Edible Atlas. I’ve thought about that a lot since then, and especially in relation to this blog, because in London we are so lucky to be able to eat food from countries as close by as France or Spain, […]

British Street Food Awards 2015 – what we ate
It was a smasher of a weekend. The British street food traders came, they cooked, they conquered. Meanwhile people like me went, ate, were part of the winning team in Lisa Markwell’s ‘Have I Got Foods For You?’ quiz (yes, this actually happened), and then waddled home again. Not bad going for a grey Sunday. […]

When to hit the London street food markets*
The great thing about London street food markets is that mostly they suit both those who like to plan and those who like to be spontaneous. I’m a bit of both, so I’m probably the ideal customer (but then we knew that anyway, because I blog about street food). Sometimes, I’ll pick a day and […]

London Street Foodie on tour: visiting Peugeot’s new food truck in Paris
It is early April and I am in Paris, standing inside Carreau de Temple, a colossal mid-nineteenth century steel and glass structure that used to be one of the city’s largest traditional covered markets and what is now used to host cultural events. In front […]
