Please note: the photos on this post are not by me, (except the Tzatziki) they were provided very kindly by Total Greek and their fabulous photographer, Rick of http://www.satureyes.com/. There are things you don’t often get to see on a weeknight. One of those things is chef Eric Lanlard scrubbing down tables, and lugging …

Tzatziki
This is the ‘classic’ recipe, as given to me by Total Greek Yoghurt. 170g Total (I used 0% as that’s what I had but usually I’d use full fat) 1/2 cucumber, grated 1 fat clove garlic, crushed 3 springs mint, finely chopped (I used a mix of English and Moroccan mint leaves) sea salt to …
Pork Not-Souvlaki
You know when you have one of those ideas that seems great at the time, and then when it comes down to it, you can’t be bothered? Yes, today was one of those days. I was going to make this; http://greekfood.about.com/od/barbecuedgreekfoods/r/Souvlaki-Recipe-Recipe-For-Grilled-Pork-Souvlaki.htm but then the thought of cubing the meat, putting it on skewers, firing up …
Hush Brasserie–St Paul’s.
Last year, when I was working in Holborn, I went to the Hush Brasserie there, and enjoyed it very much. Very nice food, decent pricing, efficient and smiling staff plus a nice, relaxed atmosphere. I was hoping, when I saw that a new branch was opening in St Paul’s, for the same and I was …
Necessity is The Mother of Invention…Carrot Houmous and Cinnamon Honey Chicken

Sunday Staple: Featherblade and red wine stew
I make stew rather a lot. It’s a nice easy dinner, and if you make enough, you have some for the next day and some for the freezer. I also love the smell of it cooking merrily away while I potter about for the rest of the day. The vegetable amounts are approximate. I used …

Ikimiz–Kyrenia, Cyprus
I know this isn’t really fair of me to review a place that hardly anyone will get a chance to go to, but I was so impressed with this restaurant that I had to write about it. I also had to share some of my rather bad photos with you, in the vain hope that …
Smokey Split Pea and Bacon Soup
Two posts in one day! Gosh. The weather has turned, and with it my food cravings. All I wanted today was soup, so when I saw a big packet of split peas for 65 pennies, my mind was pretty much made up on the spot. I only had to buy an onion and I was …
Trinity Stores, Balham
I’ve been following the @TrinityStore Twitter account for a while now. I can’t remember how I found them, but their feed usually makes me laugh, and also makes me very hungry. I was waffling on about how I’d brought some beautiful lemons back from Cyprus, thin skinned and almost a cross between lemons and oranges, …
