The thing I really love is food. I wasn’t a fan of cooking when I lived with my parents. It changed few years ago when I started to live with my love of my life – let’s call him J. I had some slips like cake-mix-muffins or pasta sauce made with ketchup, tomato puree, and real tomatoes. Don’t ask me why I did these things. I found cooking as my passion, something I can do almost all day. First, I didn’t like baking so much – I always say that when it’s in an oven, you just can’t do anything about that anymore. But I love sweets (although I really DON’T like those ickie sugary cupcakes sold in the UK). Now I love baking too. I love even making cupcakes (but not so sweet)! And another thing I love in my life is writing. I’m kinda graphomaniac. I write my diary, I write my Czech food blog (it was its second birthday in March), and I “correspond” with my best friend every day (actually it’s more some kind of written chit chat). Now I want to try blogging in English (for so many reasons). And that’s my story.

Alexandra Palace – Farmers Market, Trafalgar Square, a double-decker bus, The British Museum

Old Spitalfields Market (Cafe Caribbean)

Homemade bread with poppy seed, ham, olives with feta cheese, smoked salmon spread, and side dish salad
- Marks&Spencer (it’s literally everywhere and the offer is huge – you can get there some really good stuff for a picnic)
- Salisbury’s (or another local shop/supermarket)
- Boot’s (they have Jamie Oliver’s sandwiches and you can also buy some make-up in there)
- Pret A Manger (they also serve soups and coffee)
- The British Museum (I’m not kidding, they really sell good food there)

Alexandra Palace – Farmers Market
- Fish&Chipper, 47 Cranbour Street near Leicester Square (take it away to the park, it’s cheaper; the portions are huge, mayo’s for free – I really don’t like vinegar with my chips)
- Golden Union, 38 Poland Street near Oxford Circus (a real satisfaction after the all-day-cycling)
- Black Lion, 123 Bayswater Road near Queensway / Hyde Park (the beer was pretty good, yolk in a Scotch egg was creamy and yummy)

Camden Lock Market
- Old Spitalfields Market, Shoreditch (you can try some exotic food like Caribbean, Japanese, Latin, Indian, Arabian, but also British or Mediterranean, even macarons, muffins or cakes)
- Brick Lane, Shoreditch (Indian, Indian, and more Indian food)
- China Town (Well – did you expect anything else than Chinese?)
- Farmers Market, Alexandra Palace (Indian curries, British Pies, lemonade, vegan food, tea, sweets, cheeses, meat – anything you can think about)
- Camden Lock Market (So much food! Everywhere! Little bit like in Shoreditch. And the view is just lovely.)

It’s not in a red-light district, believe me
