At the launch of the new Saf Restaurant
11 May, 2010
I recently attended the launch of the new Saf Restaurant in High Street Kensington – serving only natural vegan raw foods. The original Saf restaurant in London is in Shoreditch, but this new branch can be found on the top floor of Wholefoods in the area of the Food Hall previously taken up by the ‘home’ store […]
Happy Freedom Day!
27 April, 2010
Today is Freedom Day – South Africa’s National Holiday. So, tonight I’m inviting a few of my South African friends over for dinner to celebrate – really just an excuse to impress them and cook up some recipes from our new release The South African Illustrated Cookbook, by Lehla Eldridge. On tonight’s menu: Darling Evita’s […]
Volcanoes, The Digital Future, and good ideas
22 April, 2010
The last day of the London Book Fair is always the quieter of the three days, but as I walked through the hall at Earl’s Court it was obvious that the travel mayhem caused by Iceland’s volcano had hit the fair more than I had expected. There were empty stands – still unpacked where foreign […]
Ready for the London Book Fair
16 April, 2010
The London Book Fair is upon us – kicking off this Monday for three days. Unlike the editorial and sales/rights team who will be busy with back-to-back meetings with literary agents, rights managers, foreign publishers etc., I get an easy ride at this event. I’ll just popping along on Wednesday, attending the Publisher’s Publicity Circle […]
Richard Jay Parker v Paulho Coelho…
9 April, 2010
What a result! Richard Jay Parker has been shortlisted for the Author Blog Awards, in light of his popular microblogging on Twitter @bookwalter! If you didn’t know this already – read our News. If you did know this already – well, it would be remiss of me to not mention it here too – it […]
Easter cheer and all that
1 April, 2010
It’s Good Friday tomorrow. At least I’m hoping so, because it ain’t such a Good Thursday here in London. We’re seeing the first of the April showers (Spring, oh Spring! Where art thou Spring?!) and a recent fire at the BT Exchange in Paddington (where was the blessed rain then, I ask?) is creating havoc […]
Long live the independent bookshop!
26 March, 2010
These days we are sadly more accustomed to hearing the news of yet another independent bookshop closing, so it’s always heartening to hear news of ones that are thriving, relaunching or opening! This month saw the launch of the Slightly Foxed bookshop on Gloucester Road (formerly known as The Gloucester Road Bookshop). Like the quarterly […]
Recommending War Horse
18 March, 2010
Last night I went to see War Horse. If you enjoy the theatre and haven’t seen it yet, all I can say is: Go see it. It is so wonderfully original, so very moving, and of course, there are the wonderful horses. These beasts, made of wire, paper and wood, are brought to life on […]
Eat like the Irish on St Patrick’s Day
17 March, 2010
Being the resident foodie at Allison & Busby, it may not suprise you to know that I am on Delicious Magazine‘s mailing list. Today, they sent me an email highlighting various Irish recipes with which to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. Aptly entitled: Enjoy the tuck of the Irish… You have to love copywriters and their […]
A little bit of what you fancy does you good
15 March, 2010
Calling all sweet-toothed individuals – have you reached the point in the day (mid-morning or afternoon slump) when you’re not sure you’ll be able to keep your head off your desk without an injection of sugar? Well, I have the answer, having fallen head over heels for Peyton and Burne. Our nearest emporium of sugary […]

Drink to get more children reading!
5 March, 2010
Who doesn’t enjoy curling up on the couch with a good book and a glass of good wine? The two go together nicely and make for a relaxing evening. But now I’ve discovered how wine and books can pair up for a much more worthy cause. The Fledgling initiative aims to produce and sell delicious […]
Mindfulness and the Big Poster Challenge
4 March, 2010
For some reason, my name seems to have found its way onto an online database under Creative Director. Now that’s a fine title to possess, but sadly I can’t claim to hold such official creative prowess. (Would the A* in my Art IGCSE count?…) So whilst I have to disappoint the illustrators, photographers and creative […]
