There was an article on the Kitchn website about the way that food bloggers are often at polar opposites – they’re either coming up with super fatty, indulgent, massive junk food creations or they’re competitively “healthy” (are they really that healthy?) AKA who can eat the least amount of carbs. It seems right – there … Continue reading
This week we continued to try other people’s dishes – it’s a good way to try out different techniques and slightly different flavour combinations. And you can adapt their recipes to suit you, which is the fun part! The first recipe we tried came out of the Thug Kitchen cookbook – it caught our eye … Continue reading
After the heatwave of last week, another dreary and cold weekend! It is really disconcerting to have to try to prepare for all of the seasons in one month – today for example, we realised (when it was too late) we were definitely underdressed for the biting wind. Luckily – this is GREAT baking weather. … Continue reading
As we mentioned in our previous post, we recently returned from Italy. The next day, Easter Sunday, our neighbour handed us a plate of roast dinner and said cheerily, “Enjoy!” (thank God for good neighbours!) which meant no cooking on our part which was just as well as most of the shops around us were … Continue reading
This is our first post for 2.5 years. It’s been 2.5 years of promises to get back to it, losing inspiration, preferring to cook the things we always cook or not bothering about food (shocking I know!). The thing is, writing about your love of food is easy and wonderful when you aren’t stressed about … Continue reading
London is so trendy. A few years ago, it was all about Americana. In fact, we’re still kind of into Americana but when Eat is doing daily pulled pork, we know it’s now mainstream. So mainstream that Londoners need something else, something more obscure. So then we were onto Korean food (which we love!)…and then … Continue reading

So we start with the best of intentions. We’re going to make madeleines the way they’re supposed to be made and they’re going to be wonderful. We’re not going to add any unconventional mix-ins or essences. We’re going to make classic French madeleines. So we start browning the butter to make beurre noisette just like … Continue reading
September is takeaway weather. Yes, we know, you’re suppose to cook everything from scratch. If you don’t, you’re wasting your money and you’re eating your way to imminent obesity. But honestly, sometimes you want a bit of a treat. Something different, something you wouldn’t ordinarily cook for yourself. Like beautiful Iranian food with their beautiful … Continue reading
Don’t you love September? Something happens to the light – it cools slightly from the golden sunshine to bluey light, the clouds become more prominent and there’s a sudden nip in the air. Perfect coat weather. And yes, you have to contend with the sudden rain and the wind, but that seems to spur us … Continue reading
