Food 2019 – Mont Bar, Barcelona
Wednesday, 12th June 2019 – Mont Bar, Barcelona While Tuesday night had been very touristy, Wednesday was at the other end of the scale, with some brilliantly inventive takes on pintxos, and some very good wines, in a much more elegant dining room. I’d rounded up a group of stragglers at the hotel and walked…
Food 2019 – Los Caracoles, Barcelona
Tuesday, 11th June 2019 – Los Caracoles, Barcelona Tasked with finding restaurants to suit the colleagues with whom I was in Barcelona, I consulted the hive mind known as my Facebook friends and of the seven responses I got, all bar one of them suggested the historic hostelry known as Los Caracoles (or The Snails),…
Food 2018/2019 – Guildhall Lunch Market, London
Thursday 6th December 2018/Thursday, 10th January/Thursday, 25th April/Thursday, 23rd May 2019 – Food (Jollof Mama, Simply Paella, Nikskitchen, Parson’s Nose) The Guild Hall Lunch Market is a fine thing as far as I’m concerned, as it brings a variety of street food traders all together in one place, and unlike say the weekly Kerb market…
Food 2019 – The Chinese Cricket Club, London
Wednesday, 22nd May 2019 – The Chinese Cricket Club, London This one was not of my choosing – it was a work-related dinner – but turned out to be much better than you might expect of a restaurant in an hotel (the Crowne Plaza Blackfriars). With a group of 13 of us booked to dine…
Food 2019 – Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston
Friday, 17th May 2019 – Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants A couple more Weston Supper Club events came and went in May and July, with mixed results, the July event being far more successful than this one, which was disappointing in a number of ways. The Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants event was…
Food 2019 – Recipes (Carla’s Potato and Mushroom Bake)
Friday, 3rd May 2019 – Recipes (Carla’s Potato and Mushroom Bake) I was stuck with an unplanned vegetable box from Abel & Cole (I left it too late to say I didn’t want one this week) and thus needed to find ways of using what I had. This recipe came up in the Guardian the…
Food 2019 – Sunday Lunch at the Muddy Duck, Hethe
Sunday, 5th May 2019 – The Muddy Duck, Hethe Having tested the “normal” small plates menu at the Muddy Duck a couple of weekends back, we headed that way again over the recent bank holiday weekend to try out Sunday lunch as a birthday celebration for one of our closest friends. Would they measure up?…
Food 2019 – Recipes (Caribbean Pineapple)
Sunday, 28th April 2019 – Recipes (Caribbean Pineapple) A recipe of my very own, though it’s not exactly difficult or complicated (it does, however, require you to feel confident about caramelisation). It came about when a pineapple went slightly over and was about to become unusable… Caribbean Pineapple Serves: 2 Time: 20-30 minutes Ingredients: 1…
