Food & Drink brings together our favourite recipes, restaurants and places to eat and drink, mostly in and around London. We approach food the way we approach interiors: with curiosity, an eye for good design and a weakness for things made with care. Here you'll find cakes we've baked at home, restaurants and bars we've enjoyed and the occasional look at beautifully designed spaces where eating out feels like an occasion. We're enthusiastic home cooks rather than professional critics, so expect honest impressions rather than star ratings. Pull up a chair and browse the posts below for ideas for your next meal.

We love hearing about independent designers, clever renovations and London spots worth the journey.
