Mumbai’s Food Logistics
Mumbai 2nd-5th April 2nd April – Midnight I’ve arrived in Mumbai for a 17 day food tour of Northern India and it’s the day before Good Friday. I’m staying three nights at The Taj Mahal Palace (as marvellously featured on the recent BBC documentary). Quite jet lagged when I wake up. Auto sight-seeing at breakfast […]
Food in Old Dehli
Delhi 5th – 7th April I am waiting for my luggage at Delhi airport and it’s not going to be hard to spot.

Agra and the Taj Mahal
Taj Mahal 9th April Another iPhone alarmed early start (this time well before dawn) wakes me in the ITC Mughal. The one hotel of the trip I wasn’t pleased to arrive at or stay in but was delighted to leave. Not helped by being the epicentre of Northern Indian tourism Agra is far from brimming […]

If I am going to be totally honest, I’ve been suffering […]
Bringing Home The Bacon
Benugo has been at the forefront of innovation and excellence ever since the first sandwich bar opened in 1998. Now a vast empire, turning over £82m this year and enjoying massive growth, particularly since merging with Baxter Story, it continues to uphold those founding values.

Pickle & Rye
The Eagle has landed I sometimes work from home in the little cranny, which acts as my office. Anyone who does this knows it throws up many plusses but a few minuses too. On the plus side it does drastically reduce the amount of mind-bogglingly boring trips I have to make to the local post […]
