A birthday cake review of Licks Cake Design

June 19, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Dangerously easy. I think a custom birthday cake is a great way to celebrate the day, but it requires you to book well in advance and be happy to pay for the time and skill involved. Licks Cake Design is my one and only experience of the process, but it’s one that’s convinced me to do it again.

A review of WeeKett: The smart kettle

June 12, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A kettle that can be easily configured to heat water precisely, remotely and then stays warm is really handy. A “smart kettle” sounds like a luxury and perhaps pointless item, but it really isn’t! I’ve found the WeeKett to be a handy timesaver, and I’ve not even had it winter yet.

A review of the Urban Jungle Brunch Room by Seb’s Urban Jungle on Leith Walk

May 15, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A friendly cafe and plant shop, what a great combination, and an oasis of green near the urban throb of the foot of Leith Walk. It’s one I recommend.

A review of Chums, a takeaway in Leith

April 30, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Chums is a warm and friendly coffee and/or pie shop in Leith; it’s around the corner from the beaten track but worth exploring to find. It’s not had to see. Only a few minutes before that meeting? Chums will help.

Wagamama’s latest menu has two flavours; with and without calories

April 3, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s now a legal requirement for large businesses to show calorie information on menus.

A review of Passey’s, a cafe bar and bistro in Portobello

March 31, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A fantastic small restaurant on Portobello high street that’s reason enough to visit Edinburgh’s seaside town. The food is incredible, staff friendly and the venue warm and fun. And they do coffee.

Books 📚 and beer 🍺 Two of my MANY weaknesses together as @argonautbooks at @moonwakebeer #leith this weekend!
Aaaah! Imagine the delicious willpower of @tastybunsbakery being at the @moonwakebeer market this weekend. They are!
A bit of imagination on offer from @luna_edinburgh for the @moonwakebeer event. I'm not too much of a believer but using #tarot to guide your thoughts is an interesting technique.
Imagine how amazing Calton Hill's #GiraffeAboutTown will look in the right light!
Let's keep Edinburgh green!
Looking skyward! #GiraffeAboutTown
