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…

Lasagne of Crab with Beurre Nantais

Lasagne of Crab with Beurre Nantais

inspired by Galvin La Chapelle It’s time for the fish course in my fantasy seven course menu. I had to think long and hard about this course. Part of me felt like a fish course, part of me thought I should just carry on with…

Spinach & Squash Ravioli with Sage Butter Sauce

Spinach & Squash Ravioli with Sage Butter Sauce

inspired by Pastaio Yesterday I sat down and started writing a post about how different the second lockdown would be. Pubs have closed again, meaning Aidan would be back at home, but at least this time I would be working. I think I managed about…

Potted Shrimp Crumpet

Potted Shrimp Crumpet

inspired by Cornerstone Sometimes things aren’t always as they seem. It’s amazing the power that a decent photo has to deceive or gloss over the truth. A basic principle that governs all social media. The photographs of our lives that we put out for the…

Day 48: Grilled Asparagus & Buttered Almonds

Day 48: Grilled Asparagus & Buttered Almonds

inspired by The Camberwell Arms I’m sure I’m not the only person who woke up feeling a bit flat today. With July now set as the earliest possible date that parts of hospitality industry can open, and with the likelihood of pubs being even later,…

Day 44: Gnocchi in Sage Butter

Day 44: Gnocchi in Sage Butter

inspired by Bancone I’ve never really got gnocchi. I’ve eaten it in restaurants a few times. But not often. The main issue is that they inevitably appear on menus that also have pasta. In the pasta vs. gnocchi contest, for me pasta will win. Every…

Day 35: Scallops in Seaweed Butter

Day 35: Scallops in Seaweed Butter

inspired by The Sportsman After such a sunny weekend I’ve been dreaming of the seaside again. Chances are last weekend we would have hopped on a train to somewhere on the South Coast for a day out. Getting on a packed train with half of…

Day 25: Buttermilk Pancakes

Day 25: Buttermilk Pancakes

inspired by Where The Pancakes Are I’ve never been fussed about making pancakes. Seriously I don’t even bother with Pancake Day. Pancakes are something I eat out, not make at home. Until lockdown that is. Now it’s become a weekly treat. I’ve already made ricotta…

Day 10: Potted Shrimps

Day 10: Potted Shrimps

inspired by Andrew Edmunds Does anyone else find all the days blurring into one by now? Usually as the weekend approaches there’s a sense of excitement. But now what makes Saturday different from a Monday? Not a whole lot…. It’s time for a date night.…

Day 1: Chicken Skin Butter

Day 1: Chicken Skin Butter

inspired by Copper & Ink So I’m starting small but also starting with one of my favourite bits of eating out. You know that moment when you’ve sat down at the table, you’re starving (not helped by the couple of G&Ts you’ve had before dinner)…
