There is something about the breaking of bread, and sharing a meal that you eat with your hands that brings a feeling of community that has been repeated throughout the ages. I must admit that I had no idea of the food of Eritrea. To be honest I have not had much to do with any of...

Loch Fyne review. It's all good

16/02/2013 20:33

Although a chain, and usually I don't review restaurant chains, Loch Fyne is at the upper end in terms of quality and presentation. The Hertford restaurant is warm, friendly and well decked with a good atmosphere. The food well balanced, and although I doubt that all the ingredients are...

Pomegranate review.

03/02/2013 21:56

It is not often that I have a meal where the kitchen and not the food is the problem. And also when it is not the first night. I decided to try the restaurant after a marketing drive, and a very good offer. The previous owners had a confused outlook on the premises although a many...

Lamb rump, braised vegetables and pomme fondant.

30/01/2013 19:01

So the wife is out enjoying herself tonight. My first thought is to lamb, and the second is to lots of fat. As both of these are usually of limits when she is around. So here is my lamb rump steaks with pomme fondant (posh cheffy name) and braised vegetables. So first thing is...

Quick lunch, Chorizo, Broad beans and flat bread

24/01/2013 07:59

Here is a quick lunchtime recipe that helps remind me of warmer climates and times. You need just a few ingredients, and it takes about 10 minutes. As always I will give you the ingredients list. You decide the amounts on how many to serve. Chorizo either the cooked one or the uncooked type, Spring...

Pigs

Pigs. I love them. There isn't a part of them that cannot be made into the most glorious and tasty meal known to mankind. And as for the wonderful products that have come from them. Sausages, chorizo, bacon, the finest Iberico hams. The list really does go on and on. Thankfully so too in...

Pot roast pheasant with veg.

03/12/2012 20:19

So this is the first recipe. Now, when I say recipe I want you to understand what that means. Recipes are not set in stone nor are they laws that must be adhered to under pain of death. If you want to make something like sole veronique that is to be judged then yes you must stick to the...

Poorly sick

Sorry for the lack of updates so soon after creation of this site. I am sick. Man flu. The wife made me a fishfinger sandwich. That is all. Back when I have the energy to cook, type etc

The first review

26/11/2012 12:47

So, my wife and I decided to pop out for a brief lunch yesterday at the Vine gastropub. It has long been a favourite haunt of ours, many an afternoon, evening, all weekend has been spent there quaffing and eating. Although not recently as we try to go to as many different venues as possible. It...

first one

26/11/2012 11:27

So here is the first one. Not quite sure what will go into this but lets see. Don't expect pages of text, just gonna keep it short but to the point. I love food. I love talking about it and eating it, watching it being made and making it myself. But I try to make sure as best as I can to source...
