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?…
Travel 2019 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 5, Walk from Euston to Borough Market, London
Friday, 3rd May 2019 – Walk from Euston Station to Borough Market via the City, London You see the oddest things when you walk through London, even just the small quarter that tends to represent my regular beat.

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…
Food 2019 – Recipes (Wild Garlic Pesto, Wild Garlic Pasta, Wild Garlic Veloute, Pickled Wild Garlic Buds)
Saturday, 27th April 2019 – Recipes (Wild Garlic Pesto, Wild Garlic Pasta, Wild Garlic Velouté, Pickled Wild Garlic Buds) I like wild garlic, possibly excessively… and I have a patch in my garden that is pretty much full of it at this time of year.

Friday, 26th April 2019 – Pied à Terre, Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston Friday night was another of the Weston Hall supper club events, this time with the cooking provided by Pied à Terre, a London restaurant I still haven’t got to (though I did eat at its now-departed sister restaurant, the rather brilliant L’Autre…
Food 2019 – Recipes (Plum Cake)
Tuesday, 9th April 2019 – Food/Recipes, London I have a confession to make. I suffer from an irresistible attraction to German cakes, particularly plum cakes. It goes back a long way. As a child in the 1960s we initially spent our holidays in the UK, but aged 6 I left the UK for the first…
Food 2019 – The White Hart, Preston Bissett
Saturday, 23rd March 2019 – The White Hart, Preston Bissett This was a bit of an unexpected one. The White Hart had popped up on my social media radar with a friend request, and while I didn’t know exactly who they were (or for that matter precisely where Preston Bissett was, though the postcode suggested…
