Welcome

After years of having a few too many glasses of wine and saying “I am going to write a blog about eating” my friends have finally had enough and bullied me into actually starting one. And so here we have the end result ‘The Gingerie’. It’s really difficult to write a first post for a blog without sounding like a complete tool. I didn’t realise this until I found myself staring at the computer somewhat manically for about three hours without having typed a single word. So, in order to keep my sanity (and refraining from polishing off the lovely bottle of Tanquery that I have in the cupboard hoping that some non knob like inspiration will be at the bottom) I am going to keep this intro post relatively simple.

I really like food. In fact I really, really love it. My favourite thing to do with it would definitely have to be eating it. I really enjoy cooking but am by no means going to be entering Masterchef anytime soon so for now I have decided that this blog is going to be mainly restaurant/café/bar review based with the odd post about what ever takes my fancy really (I could write a dissertation about the pure carnal joy of the Oyster I think). I eat out far more than I can actually afford to and finding new little bubble of joy in which to dine is one of my greatest pleasured in life. Living in London there are a million different places to discover and so, if I haven’t managed to put you off already, I hope that this blog will be a small step in recommending where to try and where to run away from very quickly.

So here we go. Wish me luck. All comments/tips/ginger abuse are greatly appreciated.

Happy eating!
