Sunday, 2nd February 2020 – Recipes (Ox Cheek and Vegetables) On my way home from one of the three WSET Level 2 in Wine training days I stopped off at the small market that has sprung up off Coal Drops Yard, in front of the Waitrose supermarket looking for supplies of raw or cultured butter…

Wine 2020 – WSET Level 2 in Wine, London
Saturday 18th and 25th January, 1st February 2020 – WSET Level 2 in Wine So as some people will know last year (2019) I turned 60 and a group of my friends clubbed together to pay for me to take at least one of the Wine and Spirit Education Trust wine courses, the WSET Level…
Food 2020 – Recipes (My Dad’s Goulash)
Food 2020 – Recipes (My Dad’s Goulash) Before anyone shouts at me, my Dad was from the former East Germany (admittedly before it was East Germany), way over towards what is now the Czech republic, and while I suspect this recipe may make a lot of Hungarians very cross, this was his version of goulash,…
Food 2020 – Lino, London
Wednesday 22nd January, 2020 – Lino, London It is quite possible that Lino, which only opened towards the end of 2018, may have crashed and burned in the Covid-19 lockdown of the City of London. If so, that would be a great pity. I went there with colleagues, one of whom was picking up the…
Food 2020 – The White Horse, Kings Sutton
Sunday 12th January, 2020 – The White Horse, Kings Sutton As it was my birthday, and I didn’t want to do any cooking (much as I enjoy it normally) we decided it would be good to head out for lunch somewhere not too far away. That meant I was looking at no more than 20…

Food 2019 – Vlet, Hamburg
Monday, 2nd December 2019 – Vlet, Hamburg Feeling altogether more human after Saturday’s illness, I have to say I was really looking forward to our final meal in Hamburg, lunch in a restaurant in the Speicherstadt, Vlet in der Speicherstadt. On their own website they wax lyrical about their location: “Among the red brick buildings,…
Food 2019 – Hamburg, Day 4, Heritage
Sunday, 1st December 2019 – Heritage, Hamburg After a Saturday to forget, by the end of Sunday afternoon I was starving, and dinner looked like a very welcome detail in our day. For Sunday evening I’d got us close to our hotel again, with a table reserved at Heritage, overlooking the Aussenalster. I hadn’t realised…
Food 2019 – Hamburg, Day 2, Wolfs Junge
Friday, 29th November 2019 – Wolfs Junge, Hamburg Friday night’s restaurant booking saw us again getting on the number 6 bus (I’m beginning to think there’s no other bus route worth bothering with in Hamburg – though I suspect I’m wrong) and this time getting off just three stops from the hotel as we headed…
Food 2019 – Hamburg, Day 1, Tyo Tyo
Thursday, 28th November 2019 – Tyo Tyo, Hamburg And so to our first dinner in Hamburg. We stopped off in the Crowne Plaza bar first, because they had given us a pair of welcome drink vouchers and it seemed churlish not to use them. The staff were friendly and fun, and we enjoyed a couple…
