Warning: picture heavy post! I have a love affair with Indian food. I grew up in a multicultural part of London, and almost all of my friends were Indian, but from very different areas, and so I grew up eating the most wonderful foods. Amazing Gujarati vegetable dishes, zingy Punjabi stews and keema with peas, …

Hush Brasserie, Holborn.
A spur of the moment dinner decision this week, when my friend Liese was visiting from Athens, led us to a very good meal indeed. I work in Holborn, and used to go past French Kitchen every day and think how nice it looked. This is probably more due to a slight girl-crush on Rachel …
A Mango Masterclass at Suda Thai, Covent Garden.
My lovely friend Kavey gets invited to a fair few things and, I’m very happy to say, sometimes I get to go along too! Recently we were lucky to be able to attend a Mango Masterclass at Suda Thai, a chic – but not too chi-chi – restaurant in Slingsby Place, just off St Martin’s …

A Greedy Italian Lunch
Last month I was awoken early by Miss Cat. By early I mean around 5am. Unable to go back to sleep I came downstairs and made a cup of tea and then logged on to Twitter to see what the rest of the world was up to. There it was. A Tweet from Antonio Carluccio’s …
Stir Wars
…there was a Twitter exchange. Out of this Twitter exchange arose a misunderstanding, and from that misunderstanding there came the mighty, unstoppable force that is… Four heroes worked long and hard to make this dream a reality. They talked, they cooked, they baked, they experimented and they fought off weariness and illness until finally, overcoming …
Oxtail Pie.
British Pie week was a long while ago, it seems, but I have been very lax in writing up this recipe. Actually I’ve been very lax in doing anything to do with blogging as I’m back at work now, and by the time I get home my brain is bleeding out of my ears. I …
David Oliver Fine Foods
A few weeks ago I was incredibly lucky to attend a foodie event with my lovely Kavita, from over at Kavey Eats. Frankly, just spending time with Kavey is enough, but this time, we got to eat some extremely good food as well. We met up as I was wandering along Regent’s Street, map in …
Bread and olive oil, the staff and stuff of life.
A few weeks ago, I was sent some lovely olive oil by the very nice people at Olive Branch. Now it is fair to say that possibly olive oil, not blood, runs in my veins, though any good phlebotomist who has had a fight with my veins may disagree. I love the smell, the taste, …

Dessert in a hurry!
Did you ever have one of those days where you started off with the greatest of intentions, and planned out what you were going to bake, only to oversleep and have to do it all in a rush? Well, that was my Saturday. It was my own fault, I went out clubbing and we got …
I expect I will regret this but…
...there's been a few things in the media this week that have really touched some nerves, and I'd better get it out there before I explode. I'm going to make a pot of tea first, because frankly, that's only proper. Of course, to satisfy the fat haters out there, I would have to make it …
