Adventures in Vietnamese cooking. In London.
After wishing loudly on Twitter that someone would teach me how to make a good pho I realised nothing was going to happen unless I did it myself.

Non Solo Pizza (NSP), an Italian restaurant located in the heart of Parnell. We have visited this restaurant many times since the inception of amazingfoodadventures – Leanne, however, has avoided writing a review of it all this time because she feels that she cannot write an honest review because she used to work there.

It’s Friday. You’ve had one of those weeks at work. Nothing will quite fix it like a trip to Tanuki’s cave. Down in the depths of Auckland’s Queen St, just up from the town hall is a little Yakitori bar hidden behind a sliding door. At that end of Queen St to be honest it wouldn’t … Continue reading

There is a sign … Continue reading
Downtown! If you’ve not been to Auckland the “downtown” will always surprise you. It’s tiny. The tag line “The big little city” exactly sums it up! Anyway, this week I had the unlikely pleasure of being able to have a spot of breakfast in the downtown area of Auckland. I met my mum and sister … Continue reading
Way, way out west there are a number of wonderful vineyards, of which I particularly like Kumeu River (they have a fabulous pinot gris, which is on the drier side, and a chardonnay that is wonderfully buttery) and West Brook – this place is great for a picnic, and I’ve had a rather nice bottle of their … Continue reading
So we kicked off this weekend with a late start on Saturday, which meant we missed the market. All was not lost when we realised, that after two weeks off over Xmas, the folk at the Food Room in Ponsonby would be back in action. The Food Room On Ponsonby Rd just before Nosh. Conveniently there … Continue reading
So we’re starting the amazing food adventure in a humble place, it’s not flash, but you will tell your Mum about it: MURDER BURGER! Located on Ponsonby Rd in Auckland, nestled in a corner shop across the road from the unmissable mini garage. We were joining Rory’s sister and husband for the new year catch-up. We … Continue reading
