If I could only eat one other food type for the rest of my life, then it’d have to be ice cream (seeing as this is a metaphorical question, I’m ignoring the very real health implications of this decision). It’s always been my favourite – the ultimate ‘treat food’. Whether gelato, frozen yoghurt, sorbet, shop-bought [...]

In my ongoing quest to find the best of the best curries, I’ve come across another worthy contender. Hazraj has just opened in Kentish Town, and delivers delicious, cheap Indian street food rather than the overpriced, Anglicized curry-sludge that Londoners are subjected to in so many other curry houses round the city. For £5.95 you [...]

Contrary to popular belief, I am not just posting this photograph because it looks a bit naughty. This really was one of the best sausages I’ve ever tasted. My lovely flatmate thought that she’d meander over to Broadway Market and visit the boys at the Wild Game Co (who happen to be EXCEEDINGLY dishy as [...]
Cocktails in Clapton
Posted in Uncategorized on July 31, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
When I worked at Class Magazine, I really did know several cocktail recipes off the top of my head –I most definitely knew the golden ratio of sugar to acid to spirit. It’s amazing how useful knowledge like this can just disappear though. On Friday evening, after a long, long week, I was visiting a [...]

Now that a week has passed, I’m about ready to write about the tragedy that was my pork pie. It was an ambitious project…and I could have pulled it off. But I didn’t. Don’t let this put you off though – I know exactly what went wrong, and I want you to learn from my [...]

Did you know that evidence of rain dances can be found in the history of people from the Ancient Egyptians to Native Americans? The ritual developed independently in tribes around the world who thought that if they had a good old jig then it might coax rain to come and water their harvests. Oh how [...]

Broad bean salad

If, like me, you like to try and eat your greens, but often find salad leaves going bad in the fridge, then this is actually quite a good idea - you can keep the beans in the freezer and dip in and out of the bag when you fancy – greens on tap. For this [...]

There are so many chicken dishes out there, but this one really is so easy. If you get back from work and need to turn around a quick supper for lots of people then this is always a great option. Or, if you’ve got loads of people coming round, and you can’t be bothered to [...]
