Borough Market



I've formed a recent obsession with Borough Market and all of the endless goodies it has to offer. Fresh cheese, produce, and bread are my normal go to's but this week we had lunch, which only made me love Borough Market even more. 









We stocked up on the fresh focaccia 









after grabbing some veggies we were sipped some sangria and continued to browse, knowing we were headed toward the cheese stalls... lots and lots of cheese.






we fell in love with this vendor, Gastronomica, and bought spinach & ricotta ravioli, baby burrata, and mozzarella. 







wondering why her face looks like this?


because this turns into...



this amazing warm cheesy creation


i had some crispy samosas + focaccia 




and enjoyed some lovely company + views of Southwark Cathedral and The Shard

Grain Store Pt. 2


If you're hungry and in King's Cross, Grain Store is the place to feast. I recently posted about having dinner a few weeks back here, but I might have to say that this dinner was even better than the last.



the atmosphere is incredible and I love that you see the underpinnings of the kitchen and everything that goes on right before you (love the mix & match white chairs and adorable rustic bathroom–you know my rule, a good bathroom is a necessity)


we started off with fresh peach, salted watermelon, basil, and salmon salad (which sounds weird, I know, but tasted so divine) 



had delicious focaccia & olive oil with a few London lagers 


Kelsey had the kimchi & potato dumplings with Irish seaweed and chili oil lobster broth


I had grilled quail (that was cooked to perfection) with "young leaves, runner beans", and pistachio salad


For dessert we split the tart of the day which was pear and chocolate 



and white chocolate rice crispy, dark chocolate mousse, and almond ice cream, which is so tasty.
