Tarte Tatin

Tarte Tatin

inspired by Wilsons For the dessert course we are leaving London and I am taking inspiration from further afield. I’m heading to Bristol, without leaving my kitchen. Lockdown friendly imaginary travel only at the moment. Do you ever get a sense that you will love…

Sourdough with Whipped Herb Noisette

Sourdough with Whipped Herb Noisette

It’s the start of January. For most people this is a time to dread. Back to work. Back to the gym. Dry January. Veganuary. Dark, dark days. If however, like me, you have your birthday in the first few days of the new year then…

Burnt Basque Cheesecake

Burnt Basque Cheesecake

inspired by Pizarro I’m back seeking inspiration from one of my favourite streets in London. Another restaurant on Bermondsey Street. This time Pizarro, a Spanish restaurant owned by José Pizarro (who also has a tapas bar called José on the same street). It’s only been…

Day 40: Bacon Scone, Maple Syrup & Cornish Clotted Cream

Day 40: Bacon Scone, Maple Syrup & Cornish Clotted Cream

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…

Day 30: Dark Chocolate & Almond Butter Cookies

Day 30: Dark Chocolate & Almond Butter Cookies

inspired by Pret A Manger OK, OK I realise that Pret might not count as a restaurant. Plus of all the places that need a shout out during closure, a chain with hundreds of outlets might not be the one in most need. But I…
