If you've read this blog before, you'll already know about Eat with Ellen's love of all things meat. If you haven't, then let me warn you. This blog isn't always ideal reading material if you're vegetarian. We've had steak at Miller & Carter,...

I’ve written about curry before, but since you can never have enough curry, I’m going to write a bit more. You’ve heard about my previous Indian outings to Masala Lounge in Rugby, and there are a few others in the town that Mr M and I have...
