Sublime.

Not wishing this to occur but Hereford Road is a restaurant that should be booked for two weeks in advance at least. The food is faultless not only because of the freshest ingredients but also the love and passion that goes into every dish. Yes this is just an artichoke but the vinegaigrette was no ordinary vinaigrette any left overs were spread onto the delicious bread.

Alberts Choice.

Once a year i seem to get a Pizza Craving and this time it happened to happen in Paris. Difficult as Paris is not the home of the Pizza. Fortunately i was with my friend Albert who insisted on taking me to La Pizzetta. So we settled into a bottle of delicious red wine from Puglia and a truffle with black crust Pizza (the secret ingredient was squid ink). I could not think of a more perfect way to spend a rainy sunday night.

Jamie and Annas Curry.

There has been a slight obsession over the summer with the Jamie Oliver 30 minute cookbook.
Do the recipes really take 30 minutes? No they do not more like 1 hour 30 minutes maybe it was a misprint. Here is the Thai Prawn Curry cooked by Miss Anna last Thursday. It was heaven and well worth the wait!!!
