Mum you would be proud...

When I was in OZ my beautiful mum gave me some Asian cooking lessons, I can make some of my favourite dishes in the UK. Here is my first attempt at Kong Foo Chow, it's Malaysian and something I can eat anytime. I need to practice making this one again, before I can say I'm a pro...

Hello Grandma shoes...

Yes these remind me of old people, but with a modern twist! I wasn't a fan of loafers or slippers when they first hit the catwalk, but working as a photographer on my feet all day has meant I have had to swap my heels for comfortable flat shoes, so call me grandma with style he he he...

abstraction, graffiti and raw energy...

My new favourite artist at the moment is David Walker with his multi-layered style. I'm totally drawn to the fluidity, weave of clashing colours, translucent drips and decaying letter forms of his work...

Happy Friday

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Clock Opera with Christa Vi, it was definitely the highlight of my week! Unfortunately they couldn't do the planned photo shoot, but hopefully they can in the future (fingers & toes crossed). After a hectic week I feel like I need to pamper myself, so I'm off to have a Moroccan mud treatment and spa day. I hope you enjoy your weekend too...

Tasty delights...

If you have been following me on Twitter you will notice I have been posting photos of almost everything I'm eating (yes it's a bit of an obsession), well with the disappearance of our muffin tray the other week, I had to make Apple & Blackberry mini cakes instead

I now have a muffin tray and have finally made this awesome recipe again using Raspberries this time, from you guessed it my The Blue Bird Vegetarian Cafe cookbook...

5min break with Bo at The Book Club...

Last Thursday I went to the launch of Raarr, which will be on at The Book Club until 25th Feburary. It was a great night and I also managed to squeeze in a quick interview with Art Curator and Illustrator Jason Kerley.

What do you like best about being an Art Curator at The Book Club? Being a problem solver, as a bar environment has certain limitations, but at the same time the shows are also multidisciplinary, so I get to work with a wide range of different mediums and the crowds are more fun.

With your own illustration what would you say your style is? I have an automatic style of drawing which is fluid and based around structures.

If you were a biscuit what would you be? A pink wafer, as they are hard to come by, but when you do it's like meeting an old friend at a party.

 

Keep creating the super structure illustrations Jason, can't wait to see what your next project is and thanks for doing an interview with me.

Happy Chinese New Year people! May the year of the Dragon bring you success and much happiness (cheesie I know, but it had to be said). Even though Chinese New Year actually takes place on Monday 23rd January there are various events happening around London the this month and next, so whatever you do bring it in with style...

Happy Friday...

This weekend I'm off to Brighton with Christa Vi, who is playing a set as part of The Dark Lights showcase, everything is going down at 'The Hope' in Brighton, come along if you can! On Sunday I'll be coming back to London and heading to Rich Mix to check out the Redundancy the Musical showcase. Exciting times ahead...

Looks like I have a night of entertainment to look forward too...

Well tonight is shaping up to be an interesting mix of art and dancing, as I'm also attending a press night at The Brickhouse for the 'Sinner Saint Burlesque'. The show 'The Sacred and Profane' channels the aesthetic of old world beauty and glamour, whilst fusing modern theatre and culture to create titillating and uplifting cabaret entertainment...
