I’m getting ready to visit my friends in Spain next week and so my posts while there will be a bit different and no more ‘My Week in Food’ until I’m back home. However, my half week since I last wrote a My Week in Food post four days ago has been full of lovely […]
Read MoreI’m reblogging this post as last night Massimo Bottura’s restaurant, Osteria Francescana, won the prestigious World’s 50 Best Restaurants Award and was voted No.1 restaurant in the world. Richly deserved, this meal from 2 years ago remains possibly my best gastronomic experience ever. If you can ever get to Modena go there, make a special […]
Read MoreI’ve done a lot of cooking this week and there’s been a bit of a fishy theme. The sunny summer weather that we began the week with has given way to heavy rain and I even sought solace in making a wintery lentil soup! Here’s the week: Tuesday – A Green Theme A simple supper using […]
Read MoreWell just the title tells you all about the weather in London! Summer has gone back into hiding and we have rain and a chill in the air. I took the Tube to South Kensington this morning; an umbrella to hand. I wanted to buy some coffee pods from the Nespresso shop in Knightsbridge; supermarket […]

Read MoreWhat a week of contrasting weather – from a wet, cold and windy first day of summer on 1 June when I actually put my central heating on, to a glorious couple of sunny days on Sunday and Monday. I do think the weather affects what we want to eat. Dull, grey and cold days […]
Read MoreSummer officially began on 1 June. It was a day of cold, rain and wind and only 15C. It was not summer. Summer arrived yesterday, which made my trip to Worcestershire and the pub lunch in the pub’s garden all the more enjoyable. And today, summer is still here. However, tomorrow, apparently, we shall have rain […]
Read MoreThe weather forecast was right. Which isn’t something you can always trust in UK. The weather all week has been bleak in London, more akin to autumn than summer. When I arranged to visit Nicola and Rachael this weekend I opted for Sunday as that looked like the only sunny day in sight. And luckily […]
Read MoreI lost a week in this series and am trying to catch up. It involves a couple of cheats – not about what I ate but because I didn’t take photos so have to use some from earlier posts, but definitely from the same place or same recipes as in the last week! The photo […]
