Brown Bread is a family run artisan bakery stall which features at Ely Market. It is a stall which I have been visiting for years now and I find almost impossible to walk past without spending a fortune. The team at Brown Bread pride themselves on using traditional methods and shuns what they call ‘industrially … Continue reading My love affair with Brown Bread – Ely Market
While mooching around Ely market the other day, my family and I were feeling a bit peckish and were looking for something to eat. All of a sudden I spotted that glorious flag! 🇩🇪 I love German food.

I went out for an amazing meal last year with a Chef friend of mine and as we left he said something which hit me hard. “It’s all about how you feel when you walk out”.
