Tomato Vongole whilst in Dorset.

Fry garlic and fresh chili in a generous amount of olive oil. Add handfuls of fresh tomatoes and reduce.
Add a large glass of white wine add your clams. Cook until they open add a handful of fresh parsley and serve over a bowl of steaming spaghetti.

The Fountain restaurant at Fortnum and Mason

I resisted the Speciality dish of Welsh Rarebit and took the kedgeree. I was very happy. Light and faultlessly put took together I think it will be hard to go back.

Sweet Lord

Everyone falls in love with the Maids of Honour a typical English Tea House that has been in business for 120 years. Not much has changed. It is worth the journey to Kew and is positioned 5 minutes from the main entrance of the wonderful Kew Gardens. Here are a couple of pastries from a huge selection.
Also on offer are home baked meat pies and daily roasts.
