My chap isn’t feeling too well tonight so, as we’re staying in his Bexhill flat, and thus have more room, he’s tucked up on the sofa in the living room, and I’m sat at the kitchen table – OH the joy of that – reading cookery books and listening to the sound of the sea. …

The Merry Monk–Isleham
I have failed in my blogging duties. Yes, I know. And I’m sorry. We first ate at The Merry Monk in February of 2013. I was deep in the throes of job hunting at the time, and not really concentrating on anything else because PANIC, so the blog post didn’t get written up. Nothing but …
An Italian Flavoured Foodie Day Out
There are times when one finds oneself at a loose end, but can’t actually find the energy to go out and DO something. This was the case this past Saturday. I could have spent the whole day at home, just relaxing and being slept on by the cat but, much as I needed the rest, …
Talking Turkey with Cyrus Todiwala
Yes. Cyrus. He of The Incredible Spice Men fame that’s sweeping the nation. The one without the kilt and who sings Calypso. Of course, he has been around for a lot longer than just this series. He’s been in this country 20 years now, is a chef of great renown and even has an MBE …

Mixed, Spiced Nuts for Thane
I’m going to the lovely Thane Prince’s Cookbook Club tomorrow. This month it’s on a Tuesday, which is my ‘free’ night, and the theme is Spices. I wanted to take some nibbles along, but I had no idea what to do, until I remembered that not only do I have a cupboard full of spices; …
The Turkish Deli
I have a romantic ideal of living in a country that treats going food shopping every day, for what’s good, as the normal thing to do. I know that this country isn’t really geared to that, and it’s just not practical here, because we are not geared up for it, and then there’s the rush …
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 …
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, …
