Interview with Danny McColl of McColl’s Brewery
Daniel aims to reach beyond the craft beer market. “We love the creative, seasonal, alternative aspect within that drinkable, palatable framework but we also want to appeal to people outside the craft beer bubble. We want to produce beers that are sessionable and drinkable, and appeal to anyone from a 24-year-old craft beer drinker up to my dad, who’s touching 70. We don’t want to be pigeon-holed as a one-hit wonder craft brewery,” he explains.
Coffee at Café A Brasileira in Lisbon

Spaghetti carbonara recipe with Parma ham
Spaghetti carbonara is a dish that I ate for the very first time in Rome years ago. It’s remained one of my favourite Italian dishes.

Food tour of London’s East End
In recent years, immigration to Britain and Europe has become a point of political discussion and proved a key issue in the Brexit debate. On entering Poppies Fish and Chips Emily suggests that British people might not have had their national dish without immigration. In 1860 Joseph Malin, a Jewish immigrant, came up with the idea of serving battered fish with fried potato chips — a snack which had been popularised by Belgians.
Delicious and easy espresso martini recipe
Espresso martinis are delicious. They’d taste lovely even if they were served in a jam jar. Ultimately, though, pouring the cocktail into a long-stemmed, cone-shaped espresso glass looks that little bit more special. Garnishing the drink with three roasted coffee beans really sets it off aesthetically.
