Happy colourful birthday to moi. I may not be hav Happy colourful birthday to moi. I may not be having the big celebration I might have liked tho am cherishing spending really special time with some of my family & friends closest to me & celebrating many, many years of nourishing, fun & sustaining friendship. Very happy to be seeing my best woman @lisamjthefaut from my wedding back in 89 whom I’ve known for 40 years & connecting remotely with @helenmangham of the same @uniofyork vintage. We will have our IRL celebration of reaching our 60th year more feisty & fabulous than ever soonest (may need your help on this @ben.tish). The delphinium card is by esteemed painter @bvpainter aka my beloved Dad (thanks for the beautiful flowers & much more too), pink chapeau Picasso from my adored @theopigott in my colours. Note the fabulously wrapped present in my colours from @laportageraldine whose been a brilliant friend for 20 years met at the school gates. And I know chocolate orange is the flavour combo of the season tho surely the only way to enjoy is in pure form with @original_beans chocolate (thank you @prgirl65 & for the glorious sunny walk). Finally, opening my pressies, huge thanks & hugs bruv David Victor. #birthday #birthdaygirl #celebrate #turning60 #turning60instyle #60isthenew40 #partylater #family #friends #friendship #chocolate #originalbeans #coffeelover #coffeetime☕
Birthday celebrations: 2 (tho not actually until t Birthday celebrations: 2 (tho not actually until tmrw) magnificent lunch thanks to @ubchef @chefrobertthompson . We started with superb intensely savoury pithivier of slow cooked @dingleydellpork with squash pureee & apple/cider jus. Mains which I forgot to photograph in my excitement: an unusual & thoughtfully conceived celeriac, lovage & cep lasagne which I adored plus lemon sole with croquette abs crab sauce which was less successful in transit. Incredible merlot wine from @openinggambit - just the thing for a @the.queensgambitnetflix fan. Beautiful choice of dessert: pineapple upside down with pineapple with coconut crusted parfait & tiramisu millefeuille. What a total treat for my bubble Dad @bvpainter & I. Huge thanks & ready now for a Sunday siesta #birthdaylunch #sundaylunch #feast #makeaway #ubchef #chefrobertthompson #lasagne #celeriac #cepes #coulibac #lemonsole #crabbisque #crabcroquettes #mygorgeousson #pineappleupsidedowncake #tiramisu
Happy early weirdest ever birthday to me. My ever Happy early weirdest ever birthday to me. My ever wonderful @theopigott & kafayat_olaleye surprised me by sending me these gorgeous letterbox cakes made by Kaf’s sister aka @zeeliciouscakes. Very impressed by the lightness & texture & as Theo knows well that I am, like my Mum was too, very very particular about cakes. Lovely to be able to light candles & share on zoom with my friends from when Theo started @bellevilleschool3 back in 1999. We’ve been meeting for bookclub ever since our children left primary school, now have added weekly @ninapilatesuk & our own cultural club since lockdown interspersed with individual walks on Wandsworth Common. For me, my friendships have become more important than ever during the pandemic 😷 & have sustained me & given so much pleasure & support. So lovely to see @foodie_monaco earlier for a Belgravia garden walk and great putting the world to rights session, move over Boris & your inept pals or listen to us. #birthday #mybirthday #myvirtualbirthdayparty #birthdaygirl #birthdaycake #friends #friendship #zeeliciouscakes #poweroffriendship💗

Wonderful surprise to return from a rainy walk wit Wonderful surprise to return from a rainy walk with, appropriately, my florist friend @lesleyibsenflowers to find these spectacular flowers, an early & most unexpected birthday gift to celebrate the big 60 from my (I guess former) sister-in-law. Looking forward to an indulgent weekend of reviewing cookbooks and walks with close friends. It really has been the year for celebrating and appreciating great friendships which make all the difference. #flowers #flowersofinstagram #birthdaygirl #birthdaysurprise #rainywalks #walkswithfriends #poweroffriendship #friendship

A rosy reminder that booking for my coffee food qu A rosy reminder that booking for my coffee food quiz ends in approx 36 hrs ie midnight Wed 18 Nov. Who knows what this reusable cup is made out of (closely related to coffee)? Questions on how coffee is drunk around the world, what that first cup of the day is eaten with, ace questions on coffee & film, literature, music and, of course, cooking & cocktails. Https://tinyurl.com/SudiQuizCoffeeEdition. Tickets £5, tho I know only too well how precarious finances are. DM me before midnight tmrw if you’d like to socialise with a very food-minded, friendly crowd, & times are especially tough & I can send you the link on the day. Being around others makes such a difference & largely why I am doing the events.

My Dad @bvpainter going home with some kitchen boo My Dad @bvpainter going home with some kitchen booty after lunch. @belazu_co Pickled lemons to try one of your recipes D @dianahenryfood. So proud that he has become an adventurous solo cook at 88 yrs old after a lifetime of my Mum, a superb cook, being very much in charge in the kitchen. He’s a huge devotee of @deliaonline esp her Cooking for One tho I’m encouraging him to branch out a little. A pleasure to cook for him most Sunday’s (he’s my bubble). #mydad #foodie #foodiefamily #nevertoolatetostart #cooking #mykitchen #lovemydad #pickledlemons #dianahenry #deliasmith #cookingforone #solocooking
Do you cook with coffee? Seeing as I am currently Do you cook with coffee? Seeing as I am currently obsessed with coffee with my COFFEE FOOD QUIZ coming up this Thursday 19 Nov https://tinyurl.com/SudiCoffeeQuiz it seemed a good time to experiment. Crushed coffee beans (just a couple); plus a cardamom seed, star anise & some peppercorns plus oloroso Sherry made a beautiful marinade for venison cooked with shallots, mushrooms & a tin of chestnuts discovered in my larder. Very pleased with my improvisation. A scattering of @koppertcressuk (@franckpontais can you confirm which this is?) black & red quinoa & sprouts sautéed with clementine zest made for a bloody good, even slightly festive Sunday lunch with Dad @bvpainter https://tinyurl.com/SudiCoffeeQuiz #sundayvibes #sundaylunch #venison #venisonrecipes #chestnut #mushroom #sherry #sherryweek #brusselsprouts #festive #christmascooking #christmasready #christmasrecipes #lovemydaddy❤️

Ridiculously thrilled by my @barbarylondon Barbary Ridiculously thrilled by my @barbarylondon Barbary Next Door & Deli delivery in their first week. The chollah is so fabulous with chunky Ashkenazi chopped liver which takes me right back to my paternal grandma’s dining table plus great, garlicky earthy Muhammera. About to tuck into cauliflower Jaffa and Malabi dessert too. Bliss especially whilst listening to @guardianlive on Booker shortlist authors reading & talking about their books.
