I returned home on Sunday from a weekend in Paris with my friend Liv, to celebrate finishing our final year of uni - it still hasn't quite sunk in yet... We stayed in a gorgeous apartment which we found through Airbnb, in Oberkampf. It was perfect -the surrounding streets were lined with bars, restaurants and boulangeries. We felt like real ...
Sindhu by Atul Kochhar, Marlow
Atul Kocchar was the first Indian chef to win a Michelin star - he now has two to his name and it's easy to see why.

There are twelve cats in total ...
