Last week I was at One Pig, a aural trace of a pigs life from the comforts of the farm to my fork. The very same day I had just returned from Wales, where we celebrated by slicing up our first samples of our hams. Timely? You could say that. I have been a fan… [Read more…]
The Kings Walk Garden holds a collection of short one day courses over the summer, and I was lucky enough to snag a place in lieu of a friend at the last minute.
This weekend made it my third consecutive weekend in Soho. I would have normally sworn off sharing my weekends with tourists, but there have been too many things to do that it would have been criminal not to.
I took a trip this week, in search of the best….deli. My recent natural curiosity of what I have been missing out on South of the river meant my first day of hunting would be in East Dulwich.

The weekly trip to the Essex farms would be a perfect opportunity to do this, and also have… [Read more…]
I can count the number of Antipodean coffees I have left on one hand. And I’ve been spoilt by some of the best coffee in town. And for those that haven’t heard, here’s some info on the genius that is the Disloyalty Card, a kind of reverse loyalty scheme set up by a chap called… [Read more…]
She asked, kindly. One night, she said that is all she wanted before we went away. How could I not oblige? When I knew it would be so much pleasure for us all, and most of all…for me. Unlike the Lasagne evening we first shared, on my birthday in February, I only cooked one this… [Read more…]
