Tasty morsels from home and abroad - a collection of recipes, restaurant reviews and random culinary musings
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)
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)
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)
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)
The London eating scene although constantly evolving, seldom brings something truly new into the fold. However when it comes to cornmeal crust pizza, I can safely say I did not know of its existence before Otto sprang up on Chepstow Road, three bus (read full article)
I was first lured to Dinings’ tiny Marylebone premises by the pedigree of Tomonari Chiba, an ex-Nobu chef. I remember being distinctly underwhelmed by the modern sushi interpretations and what they coined as “Japanese tapas” on my (read full article)
I hadn’t intended on kicking off the weekend at a department store restaurant, but a quick whizz around Selfridges late Friday afternoon had resulted in a few bulky purchases and rather than lugging them elsewhere we decided to keep things sim (read full article)
2010 has been a good year for Brett Graham. Not only did his restaurant The Ledbury gain another Michelin star – bringing the total to a highly respectable two, his other baby Harwood Arms (a joint venture with Mike Robinson of Berkshire pub T (read full article)
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that a new Leong’s Legend (there are two other branches of the Taiwanese eatery in London’s West End) had quietly sprung up next to Four Seasons on Queensway and I excitedly made a mental note to return fo (read full article)
A popular complaint from those living in London (especially expats), is that the British capital lacks decent sushi. Sure, there’s at least one of the major sushi chains (Itsu, Yo!, Feng etc.) on every high street but those hardly constitute as (read full article)
Ever since our first supper club experience at the Loft Project we had been wanting to try one of the more laid-back venues on the scene (i.e. didn’t cost £100 or have a professional chef at the helm). We set our sights on Fernandez and Leluu (read full article)
Our first experience of Nuno Mendes‘ brand of creative gastronomy was back in 2006. We had heard rumblings of a promising El-Bulli and Jean-Georges trained chef foaming and sous-viding up a storm in a Hoxton gastropub, and could not resist mos (read full article)
London has been hit with a barrage of new restaurants this month – there’s Daniel Boulud’s first UK venture (Bar Boulud) and the long awaited return of Nuno Mendes with Viajante, as well as second restaurants from established chefs (read full article)
There isn’t many a food lover who’s not familiar with the legendary Daniel Boulud, chef patron of a string of acclaimed restaurants, including the 3-Michelin starred Daniel in New York (recently crowned 8th in San Pellegrino’s Worl (read full article)
Considering that Bob Bob Ricard opened back at the end of 2008, when I was still working on nearby Great Marborough Street, it really is a wonder that I had not set foot in the eclectic all-day eatery sooner than three Sundays ago. The minute I step (read full article)
