For this month’s Pick Six, we turned to Pudding Pantry co-owners Anthony and Emma Quinn, with Emma telling us about her favourite things…
Film - Pitch Perfect
Ooh this is a tricky one. I'm going to go with a film that I can watch over and over again, without paying too much attention. I feel like it lifts my spirits, the characters are old friends and it makes me laugh, and that is Pitch Perfect (all three of them, I couldn't possibly choose between them).
Book - Memoirs of a Geisha
I love reading, buying books, talking about books and most evenings you will find me curled up with a story. I have recently been on a total roman-tasy binge after reading A Court of Thorns and Roses (Cassian has my heart). But my all time favourite book is Memoirs of a Geisha. I love the way it's written, the storytelling is second to none, it feels like the lines of fact and fiction are blurred.
Song - Don’t Stop Believing by Journey
I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I love it so much. I have so many lovely memories of dancing with friends to this song, at uni, when we were travelling, at our wedding, the list goes on. For me, there's nothing better than belting it out on the dancefloor, whilst busting some moves.
Holiday Destination - Italy
I love to travel. There's so much world to explore and so little time when you're running a business, so we try to choose a new adventure each time. If I had to choose though, Italy would be high on my list. The food is always absolutely delicious - who doesn't love pizza and pasta? The old towns are beautiful. I love exploring the little streets and finding eateries off the beaten track, or enjoying a glass of wine and people watching.
Notts Spot - Sherwood Pines
It has got to be my favourite park in Nottingham, though it is a little drive out of the city centre, it's worth it. You step out of the car and you are surrounded by woodland - it makes you feel instantly relaxed and refreshed. Miles of walking or bike riding can be done or just a little play on the trail of parks is what my little ones love.
Meal - Bar Iberico
It just never gets old. The atmosphere is lovely, the food is the perfect combination of totally delicious, a little bit different and unpretentious. The team is also great - friendly but professional. The Jerez Chicken has my whole heart. We've been many, many times before and will go many, many times again.
We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
