34 windsor st, burbage, leicestershire.

Found in the lovely West Leicestershire village of Burbage is quite the little gem. Mixing elegant dining with innovative flair is 34 Windsor St restaurant and cocktail bar. Here you'll find an inspiring British menu, knowledgable and friendly staff and a few naughty signature cocktails. I started my Friday evening with a Windsor Bakewell, whilst I glanced over the menu and anticipated live music delights from soul singer Mellow Baku. 

pesto salmon and kale wholemeal spaghetti.

A super simple dish which makes for a great evening meal. Packed with veggies, delicious pesto salmon and wholemeal spaghetti, this kale pasta dish is three of your five a day. Summer comfort food, if you will.

crafty st. martin's, leicester.

Serving up flavoursome burgers, tasty sides and local craft beers, it can only be Crafty in Leicester. Fairly new to the city's foodie scene, this week they moved from pop up concept to permanent space in independent coffee shop St. Martin's. A place for extraordinary coffee and cakes by day, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings the quirky residence is converted into Crafty St. Martin's for local burger loving fiends.

bakewell tart pops.

No surprises here - it's another Bakewell tart recipe! From macarons to pancakes and Easter inspired creations to filo pastry, I've now happened upon Bakewell tart pops. Inspired by the classic cake pop, with a frangipane twist, a layer of thick icing sugar and a cherry on top.
