SUDI SCOFF2 arrives: commissioned & written by me: SUDI SCOFF2 arrives: commissioned & written by me:: where to eat al fresco spur of the moment. Though I’d love a new paid restaurant reviewing column (all suggestions/recommendations most gratefully received) for now I enjoying writing what I like, when I like, without being undermined or told it is never good enough for a negligible fee & have just about enough other interesting & decently paid work thankfully. All places visited by me (though not all since lockdown lifted) & more next week.

My feature with ever lively & delightful @kenhomwo My feature with ever lively & delightful @kenhomwok in @dailymail Weekend. Most appropriately one of Ken’s most heartwarming anecdotes is about Prince Charles’ lovely sense of humour which he uses deftly to put people at ease, no doubt inspired by his late father’s often mischievous quips. Who do you think would make for another superb My Haven interviewee? Let me know, & especially if you have ready access to them. #kenhom #legendarychef #wok #wokcooking #chinesefood #chinesedish #princecharles #dukeofedinburgh #tinaturner #paris #cheflife #chef #topchefs #tvchefs #biography #dailymail #interview #myhaven
Pushing on as we must & hoping the rest of 2021 wi Pushing on as we must & hoping the rest of 2021 will be easier for many of us. As many of you know I’m in need of a challenging new restaurant gig that values integrity & my vast knowledge & other writing/consultancy work. I was probably first Uk journalist to sense & write about the creative culinary world changing genius of both @massimobottura & @reneredzepinoma , championed the talents of @haughser & @asmakhanlondon when they were starting out & remember the early glory days of Aubergine & huge talents like @_jasonatherton & @marcuswareing emerging. I’ve lost a lot of work during lockdown with no furlough & been effectively ghosted by the digital company CW whose restaurant content I completely overhauled and upgraded beyond lifestyle frippery. Surviving mentally on my own especially with my past and eating largely alone (except for post vaccine lunches with my wonderful, ever lively & optimistic Dad @bvpainter) has been very tough, so please look out for me as I will continually to do so for all of you I love to support. Looking forward to my perhaps unconventional Easter treat of @meimeilondon Hainanese chicken with @vivienneh28, a special garden coffee with @foodie_monaco & the best chocolates by @chocolatedetective & @davidcrichton27. Happy Easter all. #happy #eastergifts #pushingthrough #pushingmyself #newwriting #restaurantcritic #restaurantreview #cheftalk #saturdaykitchen #sundaybrunch #lookingforward #optimism #newopportunities #childhoodmemories #lovefood #restaurant #restaurantcritic #foodie #foodie #lovemyjob #lovemyfamily❤️ #lovemyfriends❤️ #lovemyself #determination #believeinyourself💯
I’m holidaying in my bathroom as I’ve been wor I’m holidaying in my bathroom as I’ve been working hard & need a rest, not easy as a freelancer with no paid holiday lockdown or not. Côte d’Azur candle @houseofbrissi as sadly holidaying with @helenmangham in Languedoc seems unlikely; magnesium salts as recommended by @apresfoodco to address mineral imbalance & make up for having to postpone Spring trip to Israel & Dead Sea a second time. Watched over by Ubud, my wooden sculpture from my honeymoon in Indonesia 30 years ago when Ubud really was a tiny one street village. Hoping at least to travel to see friends around the country and visit some culinary specialities. #holiday #dreamholidays #southoffrance #riveria #visitisrael #israel #jewisholidays #indonesia #bali #dreamvacation #holidayearrings #holidayfood #travelwithyourbathroom #travelwithyourkitchen #foodietribe #foodietravel #culinarytours
A rather different Seder this evening that was so A rather different Seder this evening that was so much fun & loved bringing so many friends & family together - I think 18 of us at peak with my Dad @bvpainter & I at mine for homemade matzah, baharat lamb meatballs with saffron, cinnamon, tomato & @apresfoodco chicken stock plus apricot & pistachio balls, coconut pyramids & macaroons. The message of Passover about escaping servitude & excessive policing & disease seems all the more pertinent this year. Happy Pesech to all who are marking this Liberty & those still suffering - have hope. #passover #passoverrecipes #passover2021 #seder #jew-ish #jewishcooking #lovemyfamily #lovemyfriends #freedom

Stupendous @robin.gill.cook @bermondseylarder from Stupendous @robin.gill.cook @bermondseylarder from @davidswann_does founder @Starchefs_uk . This truly brings the restaurant experience to your home with an incredibly well thought out prep plan & detailed instructions for finishing the dishes & presenting them with full delectable chef flourishes. As a frequent diner at The Dairy Clapham I know Robin’s food well & this truly reflected his delicate yet deeply flavourful cooking. From the soda bread with treacle served with seaweed butter in a shell through haddock & gubbeen gougeres (finished at home & tasting fantastic) to Gill’s London cured salmon on herby creme fraiche with samphire, pickled onion & celery and the absolute wow factor of the beef and bone marrow pie with croissant pastry assembled by me & served with delectable buttery potato purée & cabbage. It demanded a good wine & this Portuguese wine from the Setubal region recommended by @thewinetastingshop is superb, full of cherry & chocolate. Dessert of @pumpstreetchocolate mousse in a choux pastry with @redbreastirishwhiskey consumed earlier whilst it was fresh. This truly took the restaurant kit experience to another level & is a treat worth splurging on.

My Mum would have loved this gorgeous (mauve was h My Mum would have loved this gorgeous (mauve was her favourite colour) delectable box of her favourite Bakewell tart reimagined as a kind of brownie: very clever & beautiful light texture & properly almond-rich made by @kafsbakes, my son’s girlfriend. She runs this growing letterbox business besides being a very committed primary school teacher: most impressive. I wish my Mum could have met Kaf and also seen my stunning kitchen, the most generous & fitting tribute to her from my Dad @bvpainter as she loved her food and was an ever curious great cook and an especially superb baker of cakes & biscuits. Our last conversation was about recipes. I felt very fortunate and happy to see Theo bringing gifts & flowers & @honeyandco goodies for a walk and have lunch with my Dad when he shared the most adorable photos of my Mum as a child and teenager plus my Grandma Simmy as a young glamorous “flapper” in early 1920s. A very special day with the two best men in my life. #lovemyfamily❤️ #lovemymum #lovemydad #lovemyson #kitchendesign #bakewelltart #bakewellblondies #cookies #bakestagram #blondies #blondiesbrownies #flowers #bloomandwild #kitchensbyholloways #mothersday #mothersdaygift #tribute #feelingspoilt #feelingloved

Happy International Women’s Day. Here is my gra Happy International Women’s Day. Here is my grandma Simmy Laporte with her husband Cyril. Simmy was not only a chic flapper & an incredible, adventurous cook, she was exceptionally clever yet despite going to my school @jagsschool (& paying much of my fees) she didn’t go to university as wasn’t the done thing. She had various accounts related jobs, a stint riding in my Grandpa’s motorcycle sidecar with the fish from Billingsgate for their fishmongers in Tulse Hill.

This so thoughtfully considered and beautifully prepared cannelloni with spinach and ricotta, tomato and béchamel and superlative tiramisu (properly boozy) from @nikskitchenldn exactly what I needed.
