Sometimes you just want something sweet, easy and naughty… You don’t want to be slaving over a hot stove for hours on a Sunday afternoon, in fact, you don’t want to be baking or spending much time away from the sofa of a lazy weekend at all. With a Game of Thrones-A-Thon in the pipeline and the only reasons to get up being for food, a loo stop or to walk the dog (ahem) then you want something quick and simple to satisfy that s

A cuppa is the one thing that brightens up my day… A brew first thing in the morning before I get up and out for the day is a new tradition I’m enjoying, tea and buttery toast with a good film, a dainty teacup with a loose leaf infusion and of course my favourite way to enjoy this very “British” tradition… with a good afternoon tea. But, do you ever think about the other countries around the world

Sometimes I crave a burger. Not just any old burger mind you… it’s got to have flavour, it needs to be big and mighty meaty, sometimes it just needs to be epic. When I say epic, it needs to be EPIC. I’m talking about big juicy, meaty burgers dripping with juices (yes, sometimes doubling up and melting cheese inbetween helps), a good quality (ever so slightly toasted) brioche bun that will hold it together and not forgetting th

It has been a while since I updated on my weight loss, mainly because between May and September 2014 I really lost focus (just look at my latest food reviews – ahem!). Yep, that “break” was a heck of a long time – wanna know why? I’ll be completely honest with you. If you don’t know, I was totally “on it” with my personal training sessions and I was losing stones worth of weight at a rate of knots… This was a

Cambridge is my hometown, full of fantastic new offerings when it comes to food & drink, but over the last few months I’ve seriously cheated on it with Norwich…. Shhh don’t tell anybody! So, when I was invited through one of my favourite social media platforms (Instagram) to enjoy the new afternoon tea menu at the Doubletree by Hilton in the City centre, I was first in line to sample their new tasty treats beside a peacefu

I have to say it… God Bless Twitter! There, I said it. Twitter is just one of the best ways to take you out of everyday life and put you in a room surrounded by doughnut-loving food bloggers and social media addicts one chilly Friday lunchtime. This is exactly what happened whilst towards the end of last week I was Twittering away with Vladimir Hromek, the Head Chef at Smokeworks in Cambridge. Vlad had Tweeted the follow

It’s February already, how did that happen?! After the success of my first video blog titled “Ask Miss Sue Flay Anything” back at the start of January, I’ve decided to keep it up and answer your burning questions in the flesh, it’s been great fun. Thank you to everyone who got involved to ask me something, you’re all awesome! Here’s a quick recap of the questions asked and the points d

There are many eateries and drinking holes that I pass on a day to day basis in Cambridge and the surrounding area, some of which I am guilty of knowing plenty about from word of mouth, but haven’t yet popped in and sampled for myself. The Cambridge Chop House is one of those such venues, it’s in one of the most iconic locations in Cambridge, overlooking the stunning Kings College on Kings Parade, it has THE view t

I’ve decided to share some blog post love here, as I do this regularly over at my other blog (if you haven’t checked out Stir Up Media yet, then why ever not?!…) and seeing as I am addicted to the creativity of my fellow bloggers, it seems right to share some of my favourites with you my dear reader. If like me, you have many unfinished books sat on your bedside table, but you simply can’t put your iPad
