Wednesday, 18th September/Thursday, 19th September 2019 – Restaurant a l’Echevin, Colmar As part of the deal at the Hostellerie Le Maréchal we had two night’s dinners included (not three, no matter what the young man on reception when we checked in insisted) and although you never know what you might get when it comes to…

Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 7, Voegtlinshoffen, Colmar
Thursday, 19th September 2019 – Voegtlinshoffen, Colmar Voegtlinshoffen is a tiny village which is not one of the half-timbered confections that so many Alsace villages are, because most of those were destroyed in the course of the Thirty Years’ War and rebuilt afterwards in a more simple style. What is does have is a site…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 5, Strasbourg, Obernai, Dambach-la-ville, Ribeauvillé, Bergheim
Tuesday, 17th September 2019 – Alsace Wine Tour (Strasbourg, Obernai, Dambach-la-ville, Ribeauvillé, Bergheim) We made an early start because we needed to meet the tour guide from Ophorus Tours at 09:00 outside the Tourist Information office in Strasbourg. We’d booked a full day tour of Alsace, stopping off at three different wine growers on the…
Food 2019 – Umami, Day 4, Strasbourg
Monday, 16th September 2019 – Umami, Strasbourg I’d mis-recorded the booking for Tuesday not Monday and didn’t realise until quite late on Monday, so it was all a bit of a panic to get out of the door and back into town on the efficient and prompt tram system. We then managed to get off…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 4, Strasbourg
Monday, 16th September 2019 – Strasbourg We had a relatively early start because we’d booked, through AirBnB, to go on a food tour of Strasbourg. I got up even earlier than that though, because I wanted to go for a run. My running schedule has fallen apart recently and I was keen to get back…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 3, Boppard, Schloss Rheinfels, Illkirch
Sunday 15th September 2019 – Boppard, Schloss Rheinfels, Illkirch After an excellent, and beautifully presented, breakfast at the Landgasthof Eiserner Ritter, which made us regret what we’d had for dinner the night before even more, we packed up ready to move on. It was a glorious day, and we had a plan to start by…
Events 2019 – Sauce Supper Club at House Restaurant, London
Monday, 19th August 2019 – Sauce Supper Club at House Restaurant, The National Theatre, London This had been hovering on our radar for some time, after a number of events elsewhere in the country on dates we couldn’t do, but finally we managed to find a date we could do, and we duly booked in…
2019 Food – The Hovingham Inn, Hovingham
Saturday, 3rd August 2019 – The Hovingham Inn, Hovingham Right. I’m going to declare an interest here. I love The Hovingham Inn and want it to succeed so much that I’ve actually invested money in it. That investment was based on the past record of the team running it, Richard and Lindsey Johns. We’ve eaten…
Food 2019 – The Clarendon, Hebden
Friday, 2nd August 2019 – The Clarendon, Hebden I’m not sure how long Lionel Strub has been up in Hebden without us getting there to try the food, but it’s definitely too long (and research suggests he’s been there 5 years!). In fact the last time I ate food prepared by him, it was at…
Food 2019 – Blo Deady at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston
Friday, 19th July 2019 – Blo Deady After the disappointment of the previous supper club event (Aldo Zilli) it was good to be back at West Hall with no mention of the Daily Telegraph, and a chef on fine form in the kitchen. That chef was the slightly oddly named Blo Deady, a private chef…
