#nutsabouthealth with healthy hangout Squirrel

There are many reasons that I feel truly blessed to live in London – to me one of the most vibrant cities in the world. One such reason is that you are never far away from somewhere to eat healthily and eat well – from raw to vegan to paleo and everything in between, us Londoners are lucky to have so many choices to fit any dietary need on our doorsteps. So I was thrilled to get an invite to South Kensington’s newest healthy hotspot Squirrel to try out their new Winter dishes and of course to dine in the Treehouse!

So other than the opportunity to tuck in amongst the tree tops, what else does Squirrel have to offer?

Healthy, beautiful, delicious: my favourite new London Brunch spot!

I’m not really sure when the custom of Brunch (quite literally a cross between Breakfast and Lunch) became a “thing” here in London…. but safe to say it’s a pretty massive “thing” and the choice now for Brunch spots here in our lovely City is seemingly endless. So when I heard that “deliciously different” Soho restaurant Ethos Foods were now offering a weekend brunch menu I not only went to check it out…. but got to interview Ethos’ incredibly inspirational owner, Jessica Kruger at the same time to ask her a bit more about this beautiful restaurant and its meat-free menu.

Pictured here is just one of the delicious cooked-to-order Brunch items from the Sunday menu – Kale and Sweet Potato Hash sautéed in coconut oil with tofu and turmeric. Mouth watering yet?

A slice of foodie New York

My husband and I’s original plan for our honeymoon last year was a trip across America – starting in New York and ending up in San Diego, taking in several cities on our way across. Once we actually realised how long we would need to do this properly (and that it would cost several times more than our actual wedding) we settled on a beach honeymoon and that we would spend our first wedding anniversary in New York. So at the end of September this year we hopped on a plane to JFK Airport to begin six days of fun, fitness, fashion and of course plenty of food.

New York is one of the few places I have visited with a restaurant scene to rival London, and plenty of hidden gems from tiny juice bars to Michelin starred blowouts, and our trip took in both of these and plenty in between, so I wanted to share our New York nibbles with you, as in a city this size with quite so much choice it is almost impossible to know where to start, and as you’ll see, I also managed to hunt out some healthy options (and some not so healthy ones too, it was a holiday after all!)
