I had an incredible meal last night at @divinoenotecaedinburgh by Michelin starred @leandroluppi of @vecchiamalcesine to celebrate World Week of Italian Cuisine hosted by the Italian Consulate. A showcase of the food and drink from the Veneto region, it was a lovely, informative and delicious evening meeting new people (including @glasgow_gourmet 👋) Italian week is running until 24 November and Divino Enoteca are hosting another event tonight - tickets are still available and you can find out more on the food news section of my website 🖥️ The dishes we sampled were "fake tomato" - a rainbow trout tartare, a carbonara unlike any I've ever tried before with a luxurious egg sauce and pasta made with the water of the Dolomites, beef braised in amarone (a wine the region is famed for), a salad with salted caramel (!) and a panettone parfait made with a panettone from one of the region's premium panettone producers. It was an incredible evening and I learnt so much about this quietly reserved part of Italy which is making a name for itself in the food scene. I'd recommend trying to go along tonight if you can. Thank you to all for hosting us it was a wonderful evening #italiantaste2019 #theweefoodblogger2019eats [invited] . . . . .#foodie #foodiegram #instafood #tasting #foodlover #foodlife #foodphotography #foodphotographer #foodoftheday #foodporn #foodpornshare #foodpic #foodgasm #onthetable #foodintheair #tastingtable #foodjunkie #forkyeah #foodbloggers #edinburghfoodblogger #edinburghfoodies #edinburghfoodie #edinburghfood #biteintothis #edibleedinburgh #theweefoodblogger

The more I think about my "last supper" - that being the very last meal I'd like to have on earth, the more things I add to my list! I've always said a full breakfast would be my choice but I think the bacon and egg naan from @dishoom would have to feature in there somewhere. It's the question @jayrayner1 gets asked most, so he's written a book about his last supper and has a hit show to go along with it. I'm heading there this Saturday and I can't wait to hear Britain's favourite critic talk all about this subject which fascinates us so much - tickets are still available for Edinburgh and Glasgow. Check out the food news section of my website for links.

If there's one thing the 12g gals know how to do, it's eat well 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼💁🏻‍♀️ My energy cup might be extra empty after 500 miles / 8 hours of driving there and back but my Kim cup be brimmeth over 🥰 It was just what I needed to be me - and just me - for the weekend. And the best thing about going away? Coming back to my crazy lil whirlwind and appreciating him all the more 🤗 Pictured: just some of the delights we ate @mackiemayor where we whiled away a several hours #theweefoodblogger2019eats . . . . . .#foodie #foodiegram #instafood #tasting #foodlover #foodlife #foodphotography #foodphotographer #foodoftheday #foodporn #foodpornshare #foodpic #foodgasm #onthetable #foodintheair #tastingtable #foodjunkie #forkyeah #foodbloggers #edinburghfoodblogger #manchesterfood #manchesterfoodie #manchesterfoodies #biteintothis #manchester #theweefoodblogger #mackiemayor

F R E E E E D O M 💃 In an about an hour I'll be setting off on my first solo trip in over 16 months for a catch up with two of my besties in Manchester 🙌🏼 We're all pregnant so it's not quite the wild weekends we're used to, but I can't wait 🥰 (if anyone has any last min Manchester recs hit me up) P.S. I CANNAE WAIT TO HAVE A LIE IN

If in doubt, @thecafemilk it. Wish I was eating a Milk muffin rn but really I'm wondering how it's not even 9.30 yet and I've been awake for 4 hours already 🙃 AGAIN. #sendhelp . . . . . . . #foodie #foodiegram #instafood #tasting #foodlover #foodlife #foodphotography #foodphotographer #foodoftheday #foodporn #foodpornshare #foodpic #foodgasm #onthetable #foodintheair #tastingtable #foodjunkie #forkyeah #foodbloggers #edinburghfoodblogger #edinburghfoodies #edinburghfoodie #edinburghfood #biteintothis #edibleedinburgh #theweefoodblogger

From just jumpers to full blown snowsuits this week 🥶 Last winter was much easier with a compliant baby who would keep their gloves and hat on 🤔 [snap from when his cousin came up to visit ❤️]

Last night saw the launch party of @tatturestaurant in Edinburgh - a super slick, ultra cool Chinese with a modern twist that has opened on West Register Street. Everything we sampled was lovely and had no complaints (other than with such events the kitchen does need to pump out canapes faster than Usain Bolt can run, which they didn't seem to manage) but I have seen the menu and it is very pricey. London prices pricey. But this is Edinburgh. I'm not sure I tasted anything that could justify spending over £50 for a Chinese (based on taking about 5 items from the menu) so I'm not sure I can recommend it just yet. I'd need to go back and see what the portion sizes were like. I think the service will be flawless, the food will be flawless but will it be worth the cost? I'm not convinced just yet. So for now I'm on the fence but I will go back at some point (maybe when I'm feeling flush 😏) and report back accordingly!

@surfandturf_holyrood is now officially open! The latest offering in the @macdonaldhotelsandresorts arsenal - I think is really going to be one to watch! @rebeccacooks_ and I sampled all the surf and all the turf last night at their launch party [invited] and boyyyy did they put on a spread. Head chef @glenn__roach and his team laid out an array of meats, shellfish and canapes for us to try. A firm fan of local produce they'll be handling the meats and fish with care to serve up dishes such as Scottish brisket beef slow cooked, creamy mash and haggis bon bons. A little tip: they're currently on some of the deal websites, grab a bargain while you can! Oh and if you get a chance to sample their mini lemon meringue pies, DO IT. Absolutely delicious. #theweefoodblogger2019eats . . . . .#foodie #foodiegram #instafood #tasting #foodlover #foodlife #foodphotography #foodphotographer #foodoftheday #foodporn #foodpornshare #foodpic #foodgasm #onthetable #foodintheair #tastingtable #foodjunkie #forkyeah #foodbloggers #edinburghfoodblogger #edinburghfoodies #edinburghfoodie #edinburghfood #biteintothis #edibleedinburgh #theweefoodblogger
