Ever since discovering Gelupo‘s extensive range of frozen treats I’ve been a frequent visitor to the gelateria, especially on sweltering days when a scoop of gelato or slushy cup of granita provides a welcome respite. I’m hopelessl (read full article)
I’m a member of a fledgling book club. A book club where the food is as just important (if not more), than the literature being dissected. Inevitable really, seeing as I’ve taken on the self-designated role of venue seeker for each meeti (read full article)
Before you say anything – yes, I am possibly the last food blogger to eat at/blog about Mooli’s in Soho. I’ve passed its lime green shopfront on Frith Street countless times, but unable to resist the siren call of noodles at neighb (read full article)
Earlier this month new Italian restaurant Tempo, helmed by Japanese chef Yoshi Yamada (who trained in Michelin-starred restaurants in Sorrento, Sardinia and Florence), popped up along Curzon Street in swish Mayfair. Lured by the varied menu which in (read full article)
After months of chatting to Vintage Macaroon on twitter we decided it was high time we arranged a meet-up, and she picked the idyllic Bingham for our first lunch venue. The recently Michelin-starred restaurant, helmed by Shay Cooper, resides within (read full article)
I’m well aware that I’ve been opening every other post with some comment on the British weather, but seriously how schizophrenic has it been? After a blazing start to the week the sunny spells are now sporadically interrupted by sudden d (read full article)
A brief chat about the joys of Korean food last week led to a twitter pal’s first experience cooking (and eating) the Northeast Asian cuisine. After he mentioned that the next dish he would tackle was Jap Chae, it really got me craving the sav (read full article)
Vietnamese food was always something I enjoyed eating out, but never dabbled with in my own kitchen until I got hold of Secrets of The Red Lantern a couple of years ago. Although I still shy away from making large vats of beef broth for Pho, a lot o (read full article)
I’ve been eating and cooking a lot of cold food lately, and this Mexican-inspired chilled soup I concocted the other day is a real dazzler. A harmonious play on tastes and textures – smooth silky avocado, sweet crunchy corn kernels, smok (read full article)
Late this week after a slight delay, the long-awaited Koffmann’s finally opened its doors at the former site of Boxwood Cafe, in the same hotel where the legendary chef’s beloved La Tante Claire used to reside. B and I arrived at the res (read full article)
Judging from the enthusiastic response to my initial chirashi post (I received enough recommendations to last me till at least part 4), you lot are just as passionate about sushi as I am. As promised, here is the second installment where I check out (read full article)
This month’s Daring Cooks challenge set by Margie and Natashya, is an unusual one – making and cooking with nut butters. I tweaked the Asian Noodle Salad given, using peanut instead of cashew butter, and replaced the suggested prawns and (read full article)
Most Sundays we’ll find ourselves having a spot of dim sum at our local Royal China in Bayswater. Last weekend we decided to venture further afield, and hit up Yum Cha on Chalk Farm Road in Camden, conveniently situated near the Blumenthal-esq (read full article)
It’s not often that us Londoners complain about it being TOO hot, but the last few days have been pretty unbearable. The bright side to the spell of scorching heat? Perfect ice cream weather! I’ve been eating my fair share of the stuff ( (read full article)
I don’t know about you, but I always have a few hunks of cheese and rashers of bacon knocking about in the fridge. Last week, instead of just tossing them between two slices of bread or throwing them in some mysterious pasta bake as per usual, (read full article)
Today sees the launch of the Soho Foodlovers Market on Rupert Street, smack bang in the middle of Central London. Boasting a wealth of growers and artisanal food producers, the market is scheduled to pitch up on Rupert Street every Saturday from 9am (read full article)
Gourmet Traveller is ONE!! When I started the blog exactly a year ago I had no idea how it would totally take over my life. The past twelve months has been quite a journey – I’ve travelled across the world to Chicago, Copenhagen, Las Veg (read full article)
I only got hold of the brand-spanking new Hix Oyster & Chop House cookbook (reviewed yesterday) a few weeks back, but have already made the heavenly creamy Elderflower and Buttermilk Pudding with Summer Fruits thrice so thought it warranted its (read full article)
It’s been a blissful week off blogging (I felt a break was deserved after the back-to-back Paris posts), but with a teetering tower of cookbooks awaiting reviews and a fast-growing backlog, I can slack no longer. First up from the lengthy list (read full article)
