Spiced Pear at Hepworth

My sister and her boyfriend love fine food and a good glass of wine, and as such they eat out quite a bit. This results a steady stream of live reviews on where and where not to go for every possible dining occasion.

Last week was her birthday so when the family arrange to go out for Sunday lunch I knew we wouldn't be heading to local Toby Carvery. Instead she suggested the Spiced Pear at Hepworth which is about half way between Manchester where I live and Wakefield near where she lives.

Fazenda Manchester

A new restaurant opening in Manchester, that's new! This city is awash with places to eat especially in Spinningfields, an area which is slowly transforming itself into the culinary hub of the city centre. It's possible to travel the world without actually stepping more than a few metres. You can experience anything from high end fine dining to street food for that fast snack on the go.

Healthy Chicken Linguine

I know what you’re thinking, how can a creamy pasta sauce possibly be healthy? Well this sauce has no cream and no cheese but is still packed with flavour. With none of that fat it’s a much healthier option for those looking to still enjoy their usual favourite dishes.

Eat, sleep, work, repeat.

Dinner - feta, beetroot and walnut salad with balsamic dressing

Have you ever written down everything you've eaten in a day, or even a whole week?  I mean everything, every Haribo ring and every stolen crisp; that cheeky chocolate bar and that one little crumpet. A dietician friend of mine said that taking a note of very thing you consume is one of the most successful tool for managing food intake and subsequently, managing weight.

Sunday Lunch

I found this picture on Pintrest

Forgive me, I know it's Tuesday. I've been on the hunt for the best Sunday lunch but keep stumbling over the same watery gravy, shop bought Yorkshire pub, over cooked beef monstrosities leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
