Sassy’s Jamaican Kitchen on St George’s Rd, North Fitzroy, serves a short menu of home-style Jamaican cooking. On the night I was there with a fellow blogger we enjoyed the complimentary vegetable soup, and had roti and jerk chicken each. The soup is rich, nutty and delicious.

The food is simple, so when the menu says roti it means just roti, with no sauce to dip it in. We received the complimentary soup before we had ordered, so by the time the roti arrived we had finished the soup. They would be nice together, so the trick is to order before you get your soup.

Having had jerk chicken in ... read more

Tell us about a little about you and what inspires your work?

Through my art work, images rich in layers and textures, I explore all that is intrinsically human and in particular feminine. I think the quote “the present is just a moment passed” sums up our fragile existence and gives a glimpse into the world of what my art work explores.

My influences are first and foremost everything I see, feel and experience, but I’ve always had a great love of the Decorative Arts and Crafts; the Art Nouveau and Art Deco period; the great 20th Century Artists; and I have a great admiration for the artists of the Renaissance ... read more


SED Dinner at Charcoal Lane

Sometimes I wish I were a DJ so I could say, “No requests!”

But, I’m not.  The reason for this is, sometimes, you meet people in the food industry that say, “Don’t say that, don’t write this, don’t put that picture on your blog,” or, inversely ask you to specifically state (sometimes irrelevant) information.

This post, on the other hand has been taken under consideration, marred (or beneficial to you who will experience the dinners) by conversation.  Of course, one could argue that most of my posts have been marred by conversation, as most of the time, there will be a meeting with someone from the venue, if not an already existing relationship or, god ... read more


2010 newlyweds, The Lights, finally find a place to settle down this month! The blushing passion-popsters take residence at The Workers Club on Wednesdays September 1, 8 and 15. This residency also sees The Lights carry over the threshold their brand new bass player: Richard Payne brings a handsome dowry of Britpop cred, as both The Bluetones’ and Dodgy’s keys player. So do pay them a visit. The Lights have got more than enough fruitcake and bubbly to go round.
