Trying Michelin Star Award Winning Pasta at Bancone

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I went with our friends Ryan and Tom to try some pasta dishes at Bancone! Bancone is a fancy feeling, yet quite affordable, award winning pasta restaurant that has a small menu of starters, mains and a few deserts to choose from, as well as a wine and cocktail menu. The place itself had a bit of a strange vibe. The outside, featuring a big white fabric awning didn’t seem to match the interior and felt a little dated. Inside, the place was very well decorated, but the music didn’t really match the feeling that you’d get when being at such a fancy place. This was something Dann commented on a lot since – that he’d change the music to match the venue instead of playing Smash Mouth and the like. But, let’s get onto the real star, the food.

Roll Your Own Dragon Roll and Bottomless Brunch at Inamo Soho

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I are both a big fan of both eating and making food. When we heard about Inamo doing classes in their Soho branch, we were very interested in the idea of learning how to make something new! The Roll Your Own Dragon Roll class can be booked as a one off class or can be paired with a Bottomless Brunch inside the venue, so that you can eat the roll you just made and then sample some of their unlimited menu.

Eating at the Rollercoaster Restaurant

While staying at Alton Towers, we wanted to check out the Rollercoaster Restaurant – a place where you can eat, but your food is delivered on a rollercoaster. This is a pretty unique gimmick, listing it as being the only place that does this, so we didn’t want to miss out on the chance to eat there. It is worth noting that you do need to book well in advance, and a lot of people are actually there celebrating their Birthday, which involves the entire restaurant having Happy Birthday play over the speakers during the meal. This happened like 7 times while we were there, which was wild.

Mini Egg Cookie Recipe

Our house has been big on cookies lately! Robin is going through a phase where all she wants for dessert is cookies and milk, so we have been making butterscotch cookies, chocolate chip cookies and more. As Easter is just around the corner, I wanted to make some that felt like it matched the holidays. Mini Eggs are one of Dann’s favourite treats, though we haven’t been able to find many in big bags in the shops this year! This cookie recipe, though, can totally work with any sort of mix-ins you want to do. You just need to mix in the same weight as in the recipe.

Hazelnut Melting Moments Cookie Recipe

When it comes to wintertime, one of the fondest memories I have from when I was a child was creating cookie trays with my grandmother. Though there were tons of gingerbread cookies and sugar cookies that you can decorate, my favorite to eat was always these Hazelnut Melting Moments cookies, which are crumbly, hazelnut cookies with chocolate! They are a bit less moist than other cookies, and feel like they go great with hot chocolate or other warm drinks. This recipe was actually written by my grandmother herself!
