The Joint, SW9

Let me take you to a little place I know: Brixton Village. Okay... so in reality it's not that little and definitely not a secret. It is, however a buzzing hub of the most incredible street food I've ever seen. Cheese and champagne, crispy pizzas and juicy Chinese dumplings are just some of the delights you can find but my personal favourite is this tiny pop-up outlet called The Joint.

After navigating our way through the market maze, Rich & I squeezed onto the end of a table and tucked into the menu. First up was the sweetcorn with a delicious BBQ butter...

Then we dived into pork ribs, covered with a sticky, sweet sauce. Incredible...

Next Rich ordered the hot wings which is where things got a little dicey. They even look scary don't they? I tried one and had to do an emergency dash to the cafe next door to get some sugar (trust me, it works).

Tastebuds cooled down, we finally we shared the BBQ 16-hour pulled pork in a homemade sourdough bun...

Do I even need to say anything else? This burger changed my life.

New Beginnings

Why hello! Long time no speak. I am writing this from the comfort of my new bed (complete with duck feather duvet and pillows, thank you mum) because I have moved! Finally! Into London and everything like a proper grown-up. I moved about a month ago, having found the perfect flat and perfect flatmates on spareroom.co.uk and have been wanting to share these photos for ages but it took Sky this long to install the internet. I tried to be scrupulous about what I brought with me but as I excitedly unpacked boxes that had been in the attic since uni that sort of went out the window. Come take a look around...

With the 3 hour round commute to work finally behind me hopefully this is the start of lots of brand new adventures. I'll keep you posted!

Healthy Lunchtime Pizza

This is a little recipe I made up at uni when the cupboards were pretty bare and it's become a firm favourite when I feel like something a little naughty but still want to be healthy(ish). It's almost as good as a real pizza, I promise.

What you'll need:

• 1 wrap
• 1 tbsp of tomato pasta sauce
• A handful of rocket
• 1 tbsp creme fraiche
• A sprinkle of paprika
• Whatver toppings you have to hand (don't forget the cheese)

(Serves one)

If you're feeling fancy you can grill this for 5-10 minutes but it works just as well in the microwave. Lay your wrap on a place and spoon over the tomato sauce. Pile on your toppings and sprinkle with cheese then microwave for 30 seconds or so. Squish a handful of rocket on the top, dollop on the creme fraiche, sprinkle with paprike and voilà!
