Starter Crispy fried Polenta with strong goats cheese and gooseberry relish Main Course Courgette and lemon baked risotto with side salad Dessert Honeycomb chocolate mousse and koeksisters Small fail on the koeksister front but they tasted nice. I used loads of cinnamon so they were pretty danishy rather than syrupy. The syrup itself, decided…
It’s looking like a good one. Starter Crispy fried Polenta with strong goats cheese and gooseberry relish Main Course Courgette and lemon baked risotto with side salad Dessert Churros and chocolate sauce. How good does that sound? Brilliant if you’re a vegetarian I bet. It’s supposed to be a vegetarian challenge!
It’s pretty dismal round here. The internet is more frustrating than helpful at the moment and it’s very very tiresome. Unfortunately, I am also too busy to blog at work so I must apologise to you all. It’s shit and there is no excusing it – Virgin! So helpful earlier and yet so useless now.…
It was good. Friday was a pub meet up with loads of lovely people. We got fairly drunk, caught up with loads of lovelies and then got back to the hotel and Simon tried out Facebook Places by checking into Spar, Iceland and the Baby Show. Too many comments. Saturday dawned bright and hazy and…
I have been growing my list. It’s a bit ridiculous. Dishoom – we’re planning on a visit on sunday. Last visit was totally awesome, so I have high expectations of this one. The Drunken Monkey – this is the plan for saturday, where we shall chill out and gossip with some friends. Friday – I…
I have discovered celeriac. This is really quite cool. It’s slightly turnipy and when baked as a gratin / dauphinoise, it tastes as good as potato. Quite excellent. We had it with salad and cajun cod. Celeriac is very low in carbs so is a good potato replacement. Fondant potatoes are one of those things…

I can’t upload images, I can’t post, I can’t read anything other than really really slowly. It’s ridiculous. Virgin claim that it…

Geneva is, as described by my mother, very Swissy. It’s a bit prim and proper, like the archetypal maiden aunt. I did a little bit of staring at it. It was very very hazy. The city is dominated by the fountain thing. It’s basically one big jet of hair into the air. About 10 meters…
Raclette is a French mountain cheese. It’s heated at the table and you scrape the melted cheese off the plate at the bottom and pour it over boiled potatoes and eat it with charcuterie meats, pickled gerkins/onions and salad. It’s so so delicious.
