Streets lined with cafés and restaurants can be found at every turn - and good food is bountiful, with many eateries offering a complete range of cultural dishes and delights.

After slaying the dragons on Dragon's Den in 2012, the popularity of Sweet Mandarin Sauces has gone from strength to strength; with twins Helen and Lisa rustling up tantalising treats and fabulous dishes at the Allergy & Free from Show at Olympia (7-9 June 2013). We were delighted to meet both Helen and Lisa and finally taste their amazing sauces ourselves.
At the Allergy & Free From Show at Olympia last week we discovered Equinox Kombucha, and their delicious range of refreshing teas. But if you are expecting a traditional cup of tea then read on... because Equinox Kombucha have something far more exciting to offer. With four delicious flavours to choose from including their Original, plus Raspberry & Elderflower, Wildberry and Ginger they have created a light, refreshing, sparkling drink that is perfect with a good meal, after an intense work out, or simply when the time is right. Equinox Kombucha is a delicious and healthy alternative to regular sugar and caffeine based drinks.
Last week we were lucky enough to get an invitation to the YO! Burger launch party at YO! Sushi's premier restaurant in Poland Street where we sampled all five of the limited edition YO! Burgers and talked to Mike Lewis, YO! Sushi's award winning Executive Chef. The creation of the YO! Burger stems from Mike's many travels across Japan, to all the different regions. Mike wanted to capture all the flavours and experiences from his travels into the five new, exciting flavours of YO! Burger.
Lately we have found the trend towards 'natural & organic' skincare a little confusing and in light of the recent report from the Soil Association regarding the harmful chemicals found in organically labelled products, we decided to look a little closer at the synthetic market vs the natural choice. The International Institute of Anti-Aging (iiaa) are the official UK distributors of Environ Skincare, Jane Iredale natural mineral make-up and the Advanced Nutrition Programme (ANP) beauty supplements, so we visited their Skin3 salon in Swiss Cottage, London and began trialling their range.
