FOOD writer and cycling gourmet Nell Nelson is back in the saddle tonight - sampling food from Glasgow's top restaurants.

The presenter is back on STV tonight at 7pm for a second series of The Woman Who Ate Scotland.

Nell's first stop for the new series is Glasgow, where she finds food from all over the world.

She begins her journey in the East End at the Tapa Coffee and Bakehouse in Dennistoun.

Virginia Winters, 38, who owns the business with husband Robert, was thrilled Nell chose their cafe as a stop on her tour.

Nell said: "It's a great place. Robert sells fantastic bread which is all organic and he roasts and grinds his own coffee."

Next stop is The Sisters Kelvingrove, where vivacious Scottish chefs Jacqueline and Pauline O'Donnell let Nell in on the secret of their best-selling dessert of puff candy meringue ice-cream with butterscotch sauce.

After an exhausting day, the presenter arrives at Hotel du Vin at One Devonshire Garden for a night of opulence. She enjoys a wine-tasting lesson with sommelier Bruce Wallner.

The next day she cycles along to the West End to meet Bartosz and Krzysztof Korzeniowski, owners of Polish Taste, a deli in Hyndland which specialises in Polish food.

Her final stop is Aziza Cafe Bazaar in Great Western Road, where diners can try cuisine from around the world, courtesy of owner Azmina Scott-Ali.

Nell rounds off her trip with a tall glass of lassi, a drink from India made with yogurt, honey, milk and saffron.
