  2. When Crowd of Favours mentioned they were launching a new small plates menu, we didn’t need much convincing to head back in. We’ve always had a soft spot for this place (mostly thanks to the warm pork scratchings, which I can’t ever resist!) but this new menu? Wow! We ordered a bit of everything and there wasn’t a thing left. The duck fat hash browns ridiculously good, with layer after layer of golden, crunchy potato and jalapeño mayo on the side. Crispy, salty, totally addictive. I could just order these again and again! The grilled calamari was beautifully done, tender and smoky with a lemony sauce. So rare to see calamari not deep fried, and when it’s cooked this well, it really shines. Gave me serious Greek taverna flashbacks. The ’nduja scotch egg had a gooey yolk and a proper fiery kick. The mezze board was stacked with all the bits you’d hope for, pomegranate-studded hummus, chunky wedges of blue cheese, pickles, olives, cured meats, toasted sourdough. All solid picky bits to graze over with drinks. The belly pork bites were another hit. Tender meat, crispy crackling, what’s not to love! I also tried a couple of their fruit ciders. The rhubarb one tasted exactly like those rhubarb and custard sweets, and the pina colada flavour was basically a holiday in a glass. Both really refreshing. They’ve got a cracking pint lineup too, with loads on tap from Kirkstall and other local breweries. We finished with sticky toffee pudding and did that perfect Saturday thing… took our time, people-watched through the window, and didn’t want to leave. Crowd of Favours keeps getting it right. Cosy, unpretentious, and quietly brilliant. @crowdoffavours #LeedsFoodie #LeedsEats #CrowdOfFavours #LeedsPubs #SmallPlatesLeeds #LeedsFoodBlog #YorkshireEats #LeedsCityCentre #LeedsLunch #LeedsDrinks #PubGrub #LeedsFoodieReview #FoodieLeeds #LeedsRestaurants #EatLeeds #HashBrowns #ScotchEgg #CalamariLovers #ToffeePudding #PorkScratchings #LeedsBlogger #MezzeBoard #NorthernFood #KirkstallBrewery #LeedsLife #FruitCider #FoodInLeeds #InstaFoodUK

  3. I know this is my food page but I feel I have a bigger reach here and if I can get some of you to check your moles and take more care in the sun I’ll be happy! I just want to raise some awareness, we all know so much about other cancers and how deadly they are but moles kill and not enough of us know this. Back in January I had a mole removed. It had been there for years. Didn't look bad, didn't look dodgy (swipe for photos) I'd been told in 2018 and 2019 it was fine! Fast forward to 2023 and it's a different story, it had to be removed and fast! The operation in January was quite big which told me how serious they were taking this (13 stitches for one mole). I had to wait 11 weeks for results due to it being tricky to diagnose... but there it was, malignant melanoma!! (It's a nevoid melanoma, who knew there were so many types of melanoma) I was, and still am, terrified. Melanoma kills. It isn't "just a mole" it isn't "only skin cancer". Melanoma spreads to your organs and kills. I've joined support groups and seen so many awful stories. After the diagnosis, I was told I needed a wide local excision around the already big scar on my calf and also three lymph nodes removing and biopsied from the top of my leg due to there being around a 20% chance it had spread to my lymph nodes/organs (the pain from this is excruciating, losing lymph nodes isn’t easy and I’m left struggling to walk at the moment !) along with 3 other moles removing. I had the operation (and a huge bleed after surgery where I thought I was going to bleed out and die, the crash button being pressed in hospital isn't a fun experience!) It's been a long wait but yesterday got the news both the skin in the surrounding area and my 3 lymph nodes are clear. I'm "at risk" that it could still have spread in my body (melanoma is sneaky!) and of future melanomas so will be monitored at the hospital for 5 years but today this is the best news I could hope for. It's terrifying and I can only ask you, wear suncream, never let yourself get pink in the sun, take photos now of your moles so you can see changes and NEVER EVER use sunbeds! #melanoma #melanomaawareness #cancer #cancerawareness #fuckyoucancer

  2. Top 11 because I can never seem to make it 10. From the first week back in Spain, Estepona. A shorter trip this time of the year with work and things we need to get back to the UK for - but a much needed switch to a slower pace of life out here (something which I always struggle with and still find patios to clean 👀) 2. Italian restaurant - @latarantellaristorante Pizzas, steaks, pasta wine … it’s just gorgeous. No complaints - they always look after us when we’re here 🥰. 3&4. Estepona to Puerto Banus, you can now cycle nearly the entire boardwalk (without using the motorway) to get into Banus! They’ve made so much progress on this! @costa.bike the go to bike rental 🫶🏽 5, 6, 7 - When in Banus - brunch at @rosascafemarbella it’s super pretty, the food is stunning and the service 10/10. Favourite from the menu is probably the ‘love of avo’ or the French toast 🤤. The coffees are cute too you can get them personalised (have an earlier post somewhere). 8. Me and my morning coffee (nootropics) against the world. @london.nootropics always bring them away with me! (Af code - YOGAWITHELLE 20% off) 9. @casafina_restaurante - cutest place on the square for drinks. But the food for a meal on the evening here is also 10/10. 10 . @j4acks 🫶🏽 obvs. Favourite. Beautiful human 🫶🏽 The person behind most of the photos, and entertaining my busy days and brunch dates. (‘Brunch’ was a whole new cuisine for Jack 😂 - now it’s his obsession too). The person I can be my weird crazy self with 🤍 11. Yoga, lots of it. All the 20 minute flows (these will be next to be added to my online platform) #estepona #spain #uktospain #esteponaeats #esteponalifestyle #yogateacher

  3. There’s typically 3 genres of neighbourhood restaurant: - Sublime ones which inflate property prices and make locals puff out their chest whenever answering “so where’d you live?” - Ones called “the olive tree” or “the olive branch” which churn out entirely acceptable edible holiday postcards with such ubiquity and consistency that you’d think they were a nationalised industry. - Ones so bad they set the local community ablaze with rumours and theories of what type of criminal operation the “restaurant” is a front for. @bavettebistro, a new French neighbourhood bistro and Horsforth’s latest reason to act smug, falls comfortably into category 1. The story is pure national reviewer-bait (bet you all a tenner Jay Rayner gives it 800 glowing words before June). It’s the old “reverse Billy Elliott”. London couple with CVs that read like a Topjaw recap (Brawn, Fera, etc) flee the big city to cook London-quality food in a Hovis advert looking suburb (and politely have the inevitable “yes houses are less expensive up here” convo with every single table until they retire) The food is no-messing French provincial business a “natural successor to The Reliance” (credit: @matterialist) with little glimmers of Rochelle Canteen and St John in the approach too. There’s HUGE dynamic range to the flavours, from plates of fresh leafy radish crudités or white crab meat - served with endive to be folded into an Eddie Abbew-friendly taco - up to Cote de Boeuf ribboned with milky yellow fat an inch thick in places, totally covered in pucks of Roquefort and port butter. Hihglight was a Tamworth pork chop a la Grenobloise; its juices and sauce and pomme puree marbling and emulsifying into “plate flavours” which sounds like exactly the sort of thing there ought to be a French word for. Outstanding place, if we could get one of these into every Leeds postcode the city would be a much better place.
