I'm training for a 10k run with a team from my work for which I was shamelessly lured in by the promise of free running shoes tailored to my specific needs as identified following a free consultation that would analyse my gait and stride in the performance centre. I liked the sound of it - it sounded… Continue reading A Mathematical Cakethrough
No Pesto Thai Beef Salad
I've got this friend called Debs who keeps saying to me: "I tried that dish on your blog the other night but hmmmmm......well....... I didn't really like it". This always leads to me suspiciously interrogating how she went about said dish and so far has always revealed that what Debs has actually made is actually… Continue reading No Pesto Thai Beef Salad
Crumbs on The Table
Every year my favourite auntie bakes me a cake for Christmas as my present. It's my favourite present for many reasons - one of which being that it's the only gift I receive where I know I definitely won't require Leo Di'o's acting skills to hide my inner disappointment when I unwrap it (as I… Continue reading Crumbs on The Table
Happy New Year Food Junkies
The exile is over. I'd like to apologise for my very shabby/sporadic blogging behaviour but I have good reason. Not long after my last post I disappeared to New York to visit my pal Bash, have a look around (it was 10 years since I was last there), buy some stuff (mainly clothes from European… Continue reading Happy New Year Food Junkies
Super Salad for a Not So Super Tuesday
Today was a little bit rough. My sister suffers from depression and the last seven days have seen her feeling really low and struggling to cope with the everyday activities and chores that we all take for granted. One of those being taking the time to prepare and sitting down to eat a decent meal… Continue reading Super Salad for a Not So Super Tuesday
Curry Weekender
So yesterday whilst at some friends' house I had a Goan Salmon Curry from their North London take-away favourite The Tiffin Tin. As a new menu item described as the 'chef's speciality' it was highly recommended by the kitchen and true to its claim, it was damn tasty and so is now recommended by Bernie's… Continue reading Curry Weekender
Pastry & Everything is Good
Yes indeed, pastry and pretty much everything is good with me. Meat and pastry is the king (I'm known for scoffing M&S sausage rolls on the train ride home - if 2 of 6 make it to my fridge they are very lucky indeed), but generally you can't go wrong with anything and pastry -… Continue reading Pastry & Everything is Good
A Night to Rum-ember
Been a bit slack on updating the blog of recent so apologies to all 5 of you following. I was out with an old mate on Friday and he told me about an East London secret speakeasy under a bar on Broadway Market. Apparently you had to lock yourself in a cubicle, flush the toilet… Continue reading A Night to Rum-ember
Tri’s Salmon Pappardelle
So, I'm extending my blog to include a few other dishes that people cook for me as requested by said people and the first such post follows dinner at the Pulhams'. Tri made her classic salmon and asparagus pappardelle in a white wine sauce with lemon zest and parsley. Proper tasty.
Mackerel & Potatoes
I'm a big fan of smoked mackerel and for dinner tonight I just added some lemon zest and baked it in foil. It was accompanied by San Sebastien inspired potatoes which I am calling Patatas Sebastien (my mate Steve calls his version Paprika Potatoes). The potatoes were baked in foil for 45 mins, then sliced… Continue reading Mackerel & Potatoes
