What’s the story?

Hey I’m Colin the stomach and brains (broadly speaking) behind this blog.

Whether it be hoovering up plates or cooking up a storm in the kitchen, I’m never far away from food.

From eatery reviews to recipes and food news to food fueled travel from North-east Scotland, you’ll find something for your taste here.

AD | Pizza from the oldest Italian in Aberdeen? Yes please! 🍕 . . Still dreaming of this beauty I devoured at at @la_lombardarestaurant last Sunday 🤤 Find out my thoughts on its Aberdeen Restaurant Week menu over on the blog and get yourself booked in for Aberdeen's food-fueled week (link in bio)🍴 . . #ARW2020 #comedinewithus #foodreview #review #restaurantweek #italian #pizzagram #blogpost #newblog #blog #restaurantweek #restaurants #newblogpost #seeninthedeen #foodblogger #scotbloggers #foodie #foodgram #feedthefeed #foodpicoftheday #foodporn #foodlovers #food4thought #foodgasm #forkyeah #scottishbloggers #aberdeenblogger #instagood #foodblogger #aberdeen #thefoodhoover @abdninspired
If only everyday a @triyituk box could be left on my doormat 📦 . . Or under my doormat if Hermes is involved 😂 If you're a creature of habit like myself it will be the same products that end up in your basket during every weekly shop accompanied by a little temptation to branch out and a new product 🛒 For me my temptation is met with purchase anxiety at the thought of buying a product that ends up being awful and burning my precious pennies 🙈 Enter the Tryit box, a free market research box packed with new products to try out and give your feedback - adiós purchase anxiety 👋🏼 I found some new favourites that will be going straight into my shopping basket 🤸🏻‍♂️ . . #triyit #producttrial #triyitbox #feedback #thefeedfeed #foodoftheday #foodpic #scottishfoodie #foodgram #instagood #foodblogger #foodiesofinsta #foodiesofinstagram #producttesting #newproduct #newproducts #foodies #scotbloggers #foodie #food4thought #foodgasm #forkyeah #foodlovers #foodspotting #scottishbloggers #instagood #thefoodhoover

When it's coffee o'clock ⏰ . . So I gave up caffeine at the start of the year but with an early start I had to cave for the @starbucksuk Doubleshot Espresso that came in my @triyituk box 📦 With two shots of espresso in every can and using ethically sourced fairtrade coffee it was hard to put down ☕ Had to stop at half a can though as otherwise I'd need peeled off the ceiling and be intolerable in the office 🤪 . . #starbucksdoubleshot #triyit #coffee #coffeegram #coffeelovers #coffeetime☕ #coffeelover #espresso #producttrial #clocks #wallclocks #thefeedfeed #foodoftheday #foodpic #scottishfoodie #foodgram #instagood #foodblogger #foodies #scotbloggers #foodie #food4thought #foodgasm #forkyeah #foodlovers #foodspotting #scottishbloggers #instagood #thefoodhoover

The visual representation of extra 💁🏻‍♂️ . . A big part of my job is working with journalists and influencers to promote Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire as a top travel destination 🗺️ And with that brings many trips that I sometimes get to join and without a doubt my favourite castle to visit is @fyviecastle 🏰 I've been in this castle over five times now and I learn something / see something different every time 🙌🏼 I love you Fyvie ❤️ . . #fyviecastle #fyvie #castlesofinstagram #castles #castleviews #piano #castlesofscotland #castleviews #scotland #scottishcastles #countryviews #outandabout #walkingspots #countrywalks #explore #scotbloggers #outandabout #myhappyviews #lovegreatbritain #instabritain #scottishbloggers #aberdeenblogger #instagood #icuscotland #igersaberdeenshire #igersaberdeenshire #aberdeenshire #scotlandisnow #scotlandisnow #visitscotland #discoverunder5k #visitABDN

No, those aren't my nails. My colour pallete's fauna 💁🏻‍♂️ . . I've previously posted that I've found the best sticky toffee in Aberdeen and now I've found the best one in London 🍮 Feast your eyes on this absolute dream from @humblegrape 😍 And aside from pudding goals, there's one hell of a wine selection that had Red Wine Colin (my alter ego) chomping at the bit 🕺🏻 . . #stickytoffeepudding #dessertshots #dessertsofinstagram #tbt #dinnerthrowback #londoneats #visitlondon #foodfinds #eatinglondon #london🇬🇧 #thefeedfeed #foodpicoftheday #londonfoodguide #eatingout #foodoftheday #scottishfoodie #foodgrams #outandabout #instagood #foodblogger #foodies #scotbloggers #foodie #food4thought #foodgasm #forkyeah #foodlovers #foodspotting #scottishbloggers #instagood #foodblogger #thefoodhoover
Look at that gravy glisten 😍 . . Now that's a proper helping of bangers and mash if I ever did see one 🙌🏼 When Musa closed a few years back I was gutted, not just because of losing amazing food but the awesome interior (that window and ceiling 👌🏼) ⛪ But thankfully @drafthouseuk came swooping in to set up @hopandanchor (its first location outside of London), bringing a menu loaded with small plates, sharers, pub classics and vegan options pairing perfectly with your pint 🍺 Plus it's dog friendly too 🙌🏼 . . #pubgrub #pubclassics #drafthouse #draft #beer #windowview #eatingout #foodstagram #outandabout #seeninthedeen #instagood #foodblogger #foodies #scotbloggers #foodie #foodgram #feedthefeed #foodpicoftheday #foodporn #food4thought #foodgasm #forkyeah #scottishbloggers #aberdeenblogger #aberdeenfood #ukblogger #instagood #foodblogger #blogger #bloggervibes #aberdeen #thefoodhoover @abdninspired
