Welcome to Yumtini, a journal of my adventures across the foodscape of London and beyond. Covering cafés and restaurants (Eating out), coffee hot-spots (What’s brewing?), products that I love (Yummies) and food that I cook (Eating in), this blog is a creative outlet in which I can share the things I enjoy in life: food, photography, London and travel. As I work in the City, I also recommend grab-and-go lunch spots, as well as recipes for quick bites you can rustle up yourself. View all posts by About me
