I am still doing the diet thing. Ayurvedic cleansing. It is going ok. Breakfast always consists of porridge with a few stewed fruits – linseed and pumpkin seed. It is actually quite tasty. At first I was sticking to the letter of the law and ha (read full article)
As is to be expected I am craving a ton of different foodstuffs. It has only been two weeks since the start of the Ayurvedic Diet, but today was definitely the day that I started to miss things. For some reason today I was craving Carrot Pickle. This (read full article)
If you have ever been walking down Leather Lane, around about the Lunching hour, I am sure you will have seen a few people (ok, quite a few people) in a very long queue. If it was your first time on Leather Lane you would be forgiven for thinking tha (read full article)
I have made a few decisions in my life that I can be proud of: Asking my wife to marry me. Diving off that sinking ship to save those orphan children. OK. So when I actually think about it there is only one. After yesterday had been and gone, I fel (read full article)

Jeffrey Steingarten does it the best. The French made him a Chevalier FFS. Total dedication to food. I reckon that if he were to appear on an episode of ‘Just A Minute’ should the subject on the cards be about food there would be no hesit (read full article)
The Mrs has a quarter Vietnamese in her. I have yet to spend a proper amount of time there, but oh how I do love the cuisine. There is something about it that just trumps all the other Far Eastern lands. Don’t misunderstand me, I adore all the (read full article)

Prior to me learning ‘Endowment Theory’ – I always know that hoarding stuff was beneficial to me and the rest of the human race. I used to collect an array of random items and some not so random. I had (ok, still have) a shoe fetish (read full article)
As a child of the Sub-Continent everything inevitably gets a bit of chilli thrown in for good measure. Some successfully and some not so. The holy trio in my book aint the Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost but Onion, Chilli and Coriander. The (read full article)
