Eating in, inspired by eating out
inspired by The Spread Eagle Think of pub food and you might think of fish and chips, burgers and pies. A Sunday roast or a scotch egg. What do all these things have in common? Definitely not vegan. But as more people want a plant…
inspired by Rustique Restaurant & Bistro Here we are again. Lockdown 2.0. However it all feels very different this time around, doesn’t it? The few days before the last national lockdown were stressful. Desperately trying to get an online supermarket delivery, dashing around shops trying…
inspired by 33 The Scullery Everyone who works in theatre, including myself, slept a little sounder last night. The government’s announcement of a £1.5bn support package for the Arts gave us all hope that there might be a future for our industry. Put simply, this…

inspired by Frenchie Definitely a Cornish theme emerging at the moment. As much as I can get excited by fresh Cornish fish, nothing will put a smile on my face like Cornish clotted cream. Strange then, that they should be on the menu at French…
inspired by The Palomar As well as my need for a supply of biscuits another consequence of being (gulp) busy this week is that I’ve got less time to cook. As I explained in yesterday’s post I’m making scrubs for the NHS. I love being…
