What a brilliant discovery thanks to Dad @bvpainte What a brilliant discovery thanks to Dad @bvpainter: the brand new @worldheartbeat #EmbassyGardens London’s new music education centre making accessibility to music truly inclusive & opening new pathways into music & the creative industries. This eve @Tonykofi performed an exhilarating evening of #TheoloniusMonk with a superb quartet. My favourite composer/musician whom @theopigott named after. #jazz #music #musiceducation #accessibility #theoloniusmonk #worldheartbeat #tonykofi #jazzmusic #outwithmyDad #tonykofiquartet

Thrilled to properly celebrate the Year of the Rab Thrilled to properly celebrate the Year of the Rabbit @3dumplings with an exquisite multi course menu including the most ambrosial chicken broth & divine dumplings all handmade by Judy as well as wickedly decadent slow cooked pork & noodles and picture perfect yuzu mousse. Really an incredible, dedicated feat. Her husband Edmund had put up an auspicious 88 lanterns and almost everyone dressed in red and orange. We had the best company & drunk some exceptional wines. Happier New Year All.
What a feast this evening @enish_restaurant & one What a feast this evening @enish_restaurant & one of those rare & thrilling occasions when I am tasting flavours, ingredients and dishes new to me yet a taste of home for @kafayat_olaleye & increasingly for @theopigott too. Standout dishes for me were egusi stew I'd been eager to try for so long (see next picture) made from a special kind of white melon seeds with an unfamiliar tart & sour taste cooked with tomatoes, broth, pepper, paprika some crayfish for deep savouryness and the freshness of greens - rather than the more usual pounded yam - we opted to eat it with jollof, there has to be jollof. Theo's vegetarian black bean stew with plantain was about the most warming, comforting food you could wish for right now in chilly January together with moinmoin: an earthy bean pudding made with peeled & cooked black eye beans, onions & ground red peppers & plantain. This is the kind of family food Kaf's Grandma cooks so well and Aunties in Lagos serve as street food. New to me too was grilled croaker fish with pounded yam & a fruity, peppery Yassa like sauce & refreshing coleslaw to cut through the richness. Kaf dared me to try the calves foot too: a lot more gelatanious than @pierre.koffmann justly famed trotter & texturally not to my taste. A great evening of family chat, research for an @ftglobetrotter feature & just a little bit of wedding outfit planning! Lovely. #westafricanfood #westafricaningredients #curiousaboutfood #worldfood #exploring #foodie #foodwriter #Londonrestaurants #londonrestaurantscene #egusi #egusisoup #jollof #jollofrice #plantain #scotchbonnet #africana #moinmoin #yam #lewisham #enish #family #familytime #weddingplanning #feast #familyfood #lovemyson #fiance
Fabulous Friday at pinxtos Friday lates launch @jo Fabulous Friday at pinxtos Friday lates launch @jose_pizarro @josepizarrorestaurants Poster Bar @royalacademyarts to coincide with new Spanish exhibition "Spain & the Hispanic World". The best gilda you may even taste (better even than I remember in San Sebastian), tasty spinach tortilla, & all manner of deliciousness on sticks. What fun to catch up with @markcflaharty @eamesandrew @jo.m.taylor & even a rare sighting of @thetimes #TonyTurnbull. Thank you @hannahmnorris for such a lovely evening. Don't miss Sorolla's wonderful colourful, large-scale study for his monumental series of 14 paintings, Vision of Spain. the famous World Map of 1526 by Giovanni Vespucci, and some fabulous Goya and Valasquez paintings. Art & food, one of my favourite combinations. #Spain #spanish #spanishfood #spanishfoodporn #pintxos #pintxosbar #josepizarro #royalacademyofarts #foodie #foodiewriting #restaurants #londonrestaurants #culture #fridaynight #foodwriter #spanishwine #spanishwinelover
Loving my vibrant, punchy, utterly scrumptious Sun Loving my vibrant, punchy, utterly scrumptious Sunday lunch @Cinder_London @chefjakefinn #StJohnsWood with @stephen_cottage. Here grilled mackerel with burnished skin, pomegranates & freekah with triple-cooked new potatoes mingles with shallots & sprinkled with crisp shallots. Superb charred bread for dipping in roast garlic tahini and tomato salsa. Charred leek is spread on a plate, scattered with pecorino and roast hazelnuts. A first for me is Greek cheese mastelo with black olive molasses. Generous & delicious vanilla cheesecake like my late Mum made & a warm chocolate sponge, another childhood favourite, given grown up sophistication with a praline tuile & vanilla creme anglais. The kind of restaurant I’d love to have in my neighbourhood. #sundaylunch, #cinderlondon #londonrestaurants #stjohnswood #healthy #neighbourhood #jewishlondon #cosy #foodie #foodwriter #somepeoplearelucky #grilled #nuts #praline #homemadebread #happy

WANTED The search is on: over a weekend sort out I WANTED The search is on: over a weekend sort out I rediscovered this photo of my first and only Jewish love called Jakob from Munich whom I met on a Jewish long weekend study/holiday camp @carmelcollege around mid 1970s. This was six months or so later after corresponding by post and he surprised me by turning up at a German residential course I was doing with my school @Jags in Austrian As he had traipsed Dr Zhavigo like through the snow to see me, he was allowed to stay a few days. Our romance continued for well over a year & he came to stay with our family in London. Eventually it petered out as we met new people closer to her home. Inexplicably my Mum threw out his letters so I have no way of tracing him. I’ve always wondered what became of him- his childhood was difficult as his mother was very traumatised from time spent in a concentration camp - can anyone help? As many of you know, I am exceptionally happy with my Suffolk beau @stephen_cottage whom I met just over a year ago, so I am merely curious and hoping his life has turned out well. Any thoughts or leads most welcome. Perhaps this is the beginning of a novel? One of several book projects, the other ideas, food related naturally, I am considering for 2023. Happy New Year everyone and may you find new hopes, happiness & romance. #romance #whereareyounow #searching #missingperson #jewish #firstlove #beau #detective #oldflame #thepoweroflove #jewishchronicle #whereareyounow #jewishboyfriend #happy2023 #happynewyear #bookproposals #writinganovel #bookideas #highromance #burgenland
SUDI SCOFFS: Suffolk is blazing not only superb p SUDI SCOFFS: Suffolk is blazing not only superb proper log fires - an absolute requisite for me synonymous with Suffolk hygge - but excellent, thoughtful food even in the most tucked away, idyllic locations. @peacockinnchelsworth was a surprise Xmas treat from @stephen_cottage , new to us, and an absolute gem of a 14th century inn with all the timbers and beams yet new owners & chef @smudge_clover_ I always welcome a small menu as it suggests a good deal of care & seasonality. Duck confit made into a terrine full of flavour & finesse with a luscious candied Clementine & a slick of chestnut purée on celeriac - what a great combination . Two good sized tranches of Megrim sole embellished with shrimps & chanterelle are complemented with a champagne sauce and curls of kale. Again a lovely combination of ingredients and technique. There’s also a delicate chicken pie served with smoky potato purée. Desserts are excellent: @pumpstreet chocolate mousse with good chunks of honeycomb & salted caramel ice cream and Tarte Tatin with proper caramelised apples though I would have liked crisper pastry and delectable calvados ice cream. A truly snug riverside gastro pub with huge potential under its new owners. #suffolk #gastropub #riverside #poshpub #chickenpie #duck #tartetatin #icecream #festivetreat #gourmet #foodwriter #restaurantcritic #treat

Practising what I preach, my tree is all about bag Practising what I preach, my tree is all about bagels, anchovies, bacon, chocolate not bling. & I am so thrilled with how beautiful the tree looks against my newly #VareseLeaf @designersguild painted walls in my living room with shelves, cupboards & double doors in #Dianthuspink Thanks @souschef @GrahamandGreen @giselagraham @fortnums @findingkeeping who had stock when went to press. Huge thanks to @Stephencottage for finding & carrying home this last minute special tree & @theopigott for being my gorgeous, accidental model.

Just look at @stephen_cottage latke making prowess Just look at @stephen_cottage latke making prowess (fish cakes too). Not bad atall for a goy at his first ever Hanukkah 🕎 what a gem he is. Loved our blended Hanukkah & Christmas 🎄 evening & how dramatic our tree (carried home by S) looks against the @designersguild new Varese Leaf green paint. Food was resoundingly Jewish with my homemade chopped liver & chopped herring & baba ghanoush plus latkes with all accompaniments & @antonaandreas miso cauliflower salad again as so good. Especially thrilled with my rugelach pastries made with cream cheese pastry, raisins, walnuts & cinnamon sugar. Superb recipes from @anneshooter books. Only sorry Lizzie & Kaf were absent due to the lurgy. Chag Hanukkah. #hanukkah #jewishfestival @foodie #menorah #tradition #candles #choppedliver #choppedherring #latke #fishcakes #cauliflower #family #familygathering #lovemyfamiky
SUDI SCOFFS An unusual preparation for dinner @boh SUDI SCOFFS An unusual preparation for dinner @bohemiajersey perhaps? I certainly felt I had earned the exceptional pleasure after a private one on one and a hugely demanding box & cardio class in the fab luxe night club surroundings @boxinbusiness where the family run co are tough yet kind & immense foodies. All part of @theclubjersey new box & detox break including a marvellous massage in the spa and time in the serene pool. So to dinner. From the first mouthful of a clever Brie de Meaux & cranberry choux & sea bream tartare with lemon & seaweed I knew this was something very special & deserving of Jersey’s only @michelinguide ⭐️. @chefcallumgraham really truly knows his classic techniques & cooks for max flavour & finesse. Every course is so stunning & rarely have I asked for my bread - the rye roll with rich Jersey seaweed butter was divine. Favourite dish was a hot Jersey crab pannacotta UNDER white crab and apple, kohlrabi & horseradish “snow ” so clever@& a sensual eat & a little Nordic/Japanese. Sea-bass of exceptional sweet freshness with Cornish caviar & an artichoke, apple & hazelnut veloute paired adventurously with this new to me N Spanish red with its ripe nuttiness. An absolutely stinking treat of a cheeseboard of perfect ripeness especially the vacherin & epoisses with candied walnuts & quince (I think) chutney. To finish a perfect duck egg custard tart redolent with nutmeg & garnished with candied orange. Among my top 5 meals of 2022. I want to return to Jersey in the summer as love its Frenchness (less than an hr by boat to Brittany) its quirky character so removed from Brexit Britain & the promise of Caribbean like sandy beaches & more exceptional seafood. Oysters, scallops & seabass for dinner @themooringsjersey outstanding too as was lobster soup with excellent baguette at newcomer @colmar_jersey too. 😋 #jersey #sthelier #seafood #seafoodlover #seaside #boxing #detox #massage #oysters #goodfood #michelin #telegraphtravel #foodwriter #travelwriter #restaurantcritic #masterchefuk #chefcallumgraham #bohemiarestaurant #theclubhotelandspa #boxinbusiness #boxinbusinessjersey

Really there’s no where that compares to the fri Really there’s no where that compares to the frisson of excitement on entering @ronniescotts. Last night was truly exhilarating with @chinamoses whose wonderfully husky and vibrant voice I’ve long been familiar with from @JazzFM What a mesmerising & inclusive presence she has: funky, sassy, open & so appreciative of her brilliant musicians. Most pleasantly surprised to have superb well aged steak, definitive fluffy within & crisp exterior chips and tasty duck leg with gratin dauphinois. What fun @stephen_cottage & I had. Then stayed for brilliant, dancy, lively & packed late late show too and took the night bus home. Live & let live. #jazz #lovejazz #dinner #chinamoses #mybeau #soho #lovesoho #latenight #dancing #foodwriter #foodjournalist #bignight mourii
