If you, like me, love all things Greek, then I imagine you wonder Why are food blogs so popular? Well it of course has something to do with the first person point of view. When reading a review or a recipe on a blog you are doing so because you often have more faith in…
Summer has come to East London (well, almost!) and as we head towards July, with the hope of sunnier days, there’s only one thing the people of East London are looking for – a sunny terrace! On the corner of Old Castle Street and Wentworth Street you’ll find my brand new outside area enclosed by…
For restaurants in Spitalfields it’s easy to take for granted the market itself and the history of the area, and not fully appreciate it. Coming over the the UK only last year from Greece, I’m the first to admit that I don’t know nearly as much as I should do! I thought I’d do a little research…

David Harfield brings his cloak and wand to the Aldgate East Greek street food restaurant, Hungry Donkey. I’ve smashed a few plates in my time, but it’s usually been due to a drunken accident and followed by the hasty dropping of banknotes into a waitress’s hands and a solemn promise never to try and perform…
