How exquisite is this? Morel, sweetbreads & fava b How exquisite is this? Morel, sweetbreads & fava beans with a flourish of @Kate&Kon caviar superbly matched with Fleur de Savagnin @domainedelatournelle at bucolic restaurant-hotel @taubenkobel deep in Burgenland yet a mere hour from #Vienna. Stupendous creative yet naturalistic food utterly of the season & place.  #catfish is my new discovery.  See stories for more highlights from smoked elk with orange & lemon caviar, venison, elder & asparagus with its tartare popping with sea buckthorn & paired with their own 2020 atanasius @gutaggau Neusledlersee & dessert of bitter salads, rhubarb woodruff & rose Pet Nat ‘I hope every day, Anders Frederick Steen, Ardeche.

Tremendously enjoyable, properly Andalusian long l Tremendously enjoyable, properly Andalusian long lunch with the lovely @DaniGarcia7 @Bibo_Shoreditch.  What a superb feast & loved Dani’s insight into what makes the perfect #tortilla #gazpacho #anchovy and much much more.  Best of all was a salad of Heirloom tomatoes with olive jus & orange, this fried squid & red mullet with aioli, red tuna stew with onion & smoked paprika, #flamenquincordobes & #rabodetoro so unctuous and just sliding off the bone. Special mention to for caramelised #torrija & a simple & so so delectable salad of mango malagueña with orange granita & mint.  So good to have a proper catch up with @barney_desmazery @breakfastatcarolines @henrysouthern @katrinakatchinsky & in mere passing @beatricealdin & @jemimasissons .

Superb meals esp this eve with the sunset @porthmeorcafe & hake stew with mussels & clams; the most succulent & sweet lobster hours from the sea & sensational whispers St Ives squid with citrus miso dressing @porthmerioncafe.

My ode to tinned fish which borders on obsession and is my absolute prada for the larder especially anchovies (book proposal in gleeful motion, copyright taken by moi). Not only do I adore @conservasnardin smoked anchovies as a treat besides my go to @conservasortiz, I love searching out anchovies wherever I travel from Sicilian @testa_conserve recommended by @cicciosultano1 to the adorable museum & anchovy bar of @anchoisdesclaux in #collioure.

I’m often told I have the best job in the world I’m often told I have the best job in the world and maybe I have.  After more than 25 years I still love being a food & travel writer & am often told my enthusiasm & creativity shines in my writing.

Late Easter Day roast lamb lunch superbly cooked f Late Easter Day roast lamb lunch superbly cooked for my Dad @bvpainter & I by @suffolkandscones.

A lovely way to finish a great weekend of good friends, family & equally satisfying food.  #roast #lamb #yorkshirepudding #cookedforme #mydad #eastermonday
Delectable, intense & just squidgy enough chocolat Delectable, intense & just squidgy enough chocolate tart @sessionsartsclub made for the perfect Easter weekend treat. 
Plus a slightly early celebration of six months with the equally delectable, fun, always stimulating, kind & often surprising @suffolkandscones. We loved the restaurant I had been longing to visit from the elegantly bitter rhubarb bellini & panisse with cod's roe to the sublimely tender squid with its deeply umami unctuous sauce and almond cake with lemon curd and blood orange sorbet that almost transported me to Sicily. What makes it extra special is the extraordinarily beautiful space with its stunning architecture & decadent palazzo decor and the captivating staff who clearly enjoy working in such a desirable dining room. #londonrestaurant #londondining #restaurant #fashionable diningrooms #diningroom #hot ticket #foodie #foodcentric #italianfood #diningroomdecor #chocolate #romance #easter #anniversary

Thanks @pauleden07 for sharing such a fun party with so many lovely guests with us. @suffolkandscones enjoyed very much too.

Never have local elections - 5th May - been more i Never have local elections - 5th May - been more important to send the message loud & clear to the Tories that we won’t take any more of their #oneruleforus craven self aggrandisement and lies upon lies.  Use your vote wisely & if you’re in Wandsworth Trinity Ward vote for Paul & Jon & if in Furzedown vote for me, yes I am actually standing as a Councillor too.  Vote for caring, honesty, realism & community & for people in touch with the real needs & hopes of their locality.

I love a man who loves his food. I’ve clearly br I love a man who loves his food. I’ve clearly brought @theopigott up well. He’s truly relishing these superlative cinnamon & caramel doughnuts served with a little pot of house made custard @stuart_gillies1 @numbereightrestaurant in Sevenoaks. There’s clear dessert talent here as the chocolate truffles have fabulous texture & intensity too (I've a couple for lucky you @suffolkandscones which the charming Parisian #CeciliaGillies kindly gave me to take home). Perfectly cooked Rye scallops with brioche crumbs & courgette pesto on burrata all added up to the neighbourhood restaurant we’d all like on our doorstep. A lovely evening of good conversation with my gorgeous, talented, thoughtful son. Such a precious treat. #doughnuts #cinnamon #caramel #chocolatetruffles #treat#neighbourhoodrestaurant #sevenoaks #goodfood #myson #motherandson #motherandsons
