I so needed a treat this evening with many of us f I so needed a treat this evening with many of us face another three months of solitary dining . Seeing as I have been so missing my visits to France and am thinking wistfully of the customary Galette de Rois celebrations @helenedarroze @helenedarrozeattheconnaught @paulafitzherbert have so often hosted, I needed to go full Gallic. Ordered from SW France French stalwart @gazettebrasserie & so impressed by the depth of flavour, presentation and beer bloody deliciousness. I’m very keen to support local restaurant businesses as much as I can and hope you will all do the same. We really want them to be there when we finally re-emerge. @milkcoffeeldn now offer a shop delivery too with the fab @breadbreadbakery loaves, impeccable dry cure bacon & their own brew kombucha.

Rocking the Christmas tree look, what do you think Rocking the Christmas tree look, what do you think? More eco than buying a tree. Having spent most of Boxing Day in bed, just because I could doing Xmas alone, decided to start on a new book proposal - very exciting - think I’ve found a subject that hasn’t owned a book yet is highly zeitgeist and global.

Christmas dinner for one. For first time in 30 yea Christmas dinner for one. For first time in 30 years not cooking an elaborate meal for family and found it surprisingly relaxing and enjoyable even though I was dreading it and now the tele has conked out. Lovely zoom present opening with Dad @bvpainter & @theopigott, properly distanced walk brother & family. Feeling mellow & gently sozzled as been drinking champagne since 10am tho still on first bottle. A huge hug and thanks to all my friends who’ve been in touch today and helped me get through it & especially my cousin @jllucks in Tenerife. #friendship #solochristmas #family #xmaslunch #makethemostofit

Poignant. How this year has felt for me & I am sur Poignant. How this year has felt for me & I am sure many of you. Today I broke this tile that was given to me long ago in a happier life in the early years of marriage. This year has been full of disappointment, instability, missed opportunities, shattered hopes and every time I pick myself up something or someone else just takes too much or offers too little or shows me no respect or courtesy. I know I am not the only one to feel like this & others may have experienced more tragedy & fragility but I am dreading this Shitmas and New Year mostly alone & then inevitably another lockdown. Ever the pro, I will attempt some jollity & bloody good questions and foodcentric banter at my festive food quiz this Sunday 20 Dec eve 19.30pm. Come & raise spirits preferably in a well made cocktail. Details in bio. #shitmas #missedopportunity #cocktails #foodquiz #foodloversofinstagram #respect #resilience #hope

Remembering the best Mum on her birthday who lived Remembering the best Mum on her birthday who lived for her family and her food. I trust I am keeping her values strongly. Feeling thankful I have my wonderful Dad @bvpainter as my bubble who is ever supportive & the best company even though he heckled at my Hanukkah workshop (two thirds non Jewish & hugely enjoyable & as near to real entertaining as I can get at the moment sadly). Though sadly glad she hasn’t had to live through this most distressing & destructive year. #rememberingmymum #missmymum #lovemymum #feelinggrateful #family #lovefood #lovemyfoodtoomuch
