Cover with fresh custard available from and good supermarket.
Whip some cream and put ontop of custard.
Optional Flaked Almonds as requested by Joel or grated chocolate.
Back in London and ready for a bit of British Fayre. Fryers Delight is one of those jewels in London that you breathe a sigh of relief on arrival that it still exists. The decor is fantastic and people watching is a top tip in this establishment. Next time i shall not feel guilty and have a chip butty. Well they do say a little bit of what you fancy does no harm.

Let me tell you about Honey and Heart organic market. It happens every Saturday at 3pm sharp. The market is held in the Palm Forest on the beach at Playa Carmen. It started from the back of there truck selling organic treasures that they had sourced which were snapped up in 5 minutes that is how long the market lasted now things have changed and through their hard work and strong belief in eating only the most wonderful foods the produce selection is quite unbelievable. Thank you Honey and Heart for the treats that you bestow upon us.

A bakery is not normally such an interesting subject but this one is. On the Santa Teresa strip where not long ago there were roughly 6 places to stop and eat there are now choices. Now honestly i am not a huge fan of choice especially when you are somewhere like the tropics but it is my job i feel to cover all aspects of eateries in areas that i have visited. This bakery offers delicious cakes coffees juices and snacks and is open from 7 in the morning till 8 at night.

Here is another top 5 my best restaurants in the world. Playa Des Artistas on the beach of Montezuma Cost Rica. Mediterranean cooking at its best in a setting of absolute Paradise. Dig your feet into the fine white sand...order a fresh passion Fruit Caipirinha and choose off a blackboard of delights.

Now this post is all about the magnificent talented amazing Mr James Kelly. Most probably the most talented chef in Central America and if he did travel further afield would rank up there with the best of them. Jim puts so much love and passion into his food you can taste it with every mouthful. Now he is going to be angry with me because this meal that i have recorded was a meal made in 10 minutes on our arrival into Costa Rica he will be wishing that i had photographed his dishes beautifully presented he is an absolute perfectionist. Sadly the next day Jim went away as he was booked solidly to private chef for a lucky family down the coast.
May I present to you tomato and onion salad like no other tomato and onion salad with a salsa verde see following post for completion of quick meal!!!!

You know that way when you arrive in a city and you feel like you should try new places but you have favourites and its hard to resist....well here is my mine. Omen. I love the restaurant, i love the people and i love the food. Due to verging on rudeness by constantly taking pictures of my food i did not manage to get the avocado salad or the omen noodles but i did manage to get this delectable plate of mixed sashimi. Please forgive the flash photography but has answered my problem of blogging in dark restaurants.

Hello Followers and random bloggers i am back from my travels. I have not forgotten you and have made it my upmost duty to collect some delicious information for you from my journey to Costa Rica stopping off in New York. I will start with a Mango Lassi ??? Yes a strange choice i know but this Mango Lassi can be found in the Hampton Chutney Co which is my first food stop on every trip to NYC. It is a Take Away and eat in if you are lucky enough to find space. A Zen haven for those of us who like clean healthy food made with a whole lot of love.
