Sculpture or salad? This is one of the new culinar Sculpture or salad? This is one of the new culinary creations by @ages_obsession the delightful original new chef @queensofmayfair . It’s a quinoa salad like no other with masses of interesting spices and texture, hazelnuts, carrots & asparagus. Try the spiced halloumi too. Next time, I fancy the posh fish fingers, offered, decadently with the option of caviar! Glamorous & cosmopolitan, it is kind of becoming my new home office. #healthyfood #healthyeating #healthylunch #lunch #cafe #mayfair #mayfairlondon #spices #londoncafes #eatingout #eatingoutlondon

What I’d really like to find under my tree is this gorgeous decorative lamp in my favourite colour. So good to catch up with @rochie66 over tricolour buche de Noel in chestnut, yuzu or matcha flavours.

A good excuse for a bacon sandwich (without the ru A good excuse for a bacon sandwich (without the run I did yesterday to earn it). Tea tasting & food matching for @theeastindiacompany &, controversially perhaps, I really like their Bombay Chai with the bacon, the double earthiness works well & the spices cut through the rich savouriness of the bacon & the juices of some slow roast tomatoes. The Chai stands up to the tang of gherkin & @apresfoodco extraordinary multi veg tomato ketchup which is for sale alongside their brilliant nutrition boosting chef recipe flash frozen meals for brunch & dinner including kedgeree, which would also be an excellent pairing for the Chai. I confess I am not usually a drinker of Breakfast Black Tea though I think this one would well with some good sausages, pork pie or toad in the hole. What do Sri Lankan black tea drinkers favour? #teatasters #tea #chai #breakfasttea #breakfast #baconsandwich #tomatoketchup #gherkin #kedgeree #toast #teapairing #morningrituals #brunch #tasting #theeastindiacompany
The glorious wild cottage garden @charlestontrust The glorious wild cottage garden @charlestontrust originally designed by Roger Fry full of pink plant inspiration. Wonderful day out with my school friend Tessa taking in @annabelabbs Windswept Guided Walk discussing the lives of intrepid female walkers including Simone de Beauvoir & Gwen John. Great to finally try @cacciaandtails delicious food from fabulous almost-by-the-sea fritto misto & farinata with artichoke purée plus sweet rhubarb & custard farinata an inspired creation. And who should pop up among the gorgeous blooms? @traceymacmac @faymaschler.

SUDI SCOFFS: Yassa yeah, you heard it hear first. SUDI SCOFFS: Yassa yeah, you heard it hear first. I predict it will be the new miso must have flavour of the summer & beyond. I couldn’t get enough @akokorestaurant last night with @katrinakutchinsky. It’s an essential flavour in Senegalese cuisine: made with low & slow cooked onions, spring onions, Scotch bonnet, ginger, generous black pepper & salt, lemon & mustard. So sensational in butter served with a malty yet beautifully light Guinness roll, I had to order seconds. It reappeared as a sauce with barbecued quail, again sensational, smartly piquant with much savoury depth and tang. The tasting menu is served as a surprise to ensure diners are open minded to what is a truly thrilling culinary experience. Sensational & unusual wines too including a one-off Cotes de Dijon appellation & a Czech red. Loved the earthy tactile decor & ceramics as well as the Nigerian, mostly, music, the service and the London at its cosmopolitan best crowd of fellow diners. Congratulations @akokomi @cheftheoclench: previously head chef @portlandrestaurant @thecloveclub & late lamented fantastic @bonhams1793 restaurant : no wonder the cooking is so skilfully & thoughtfully calibrated #westafricanfood #senegalesetwists #westafricanfood #londonrestaurants #newrestaurants #diningroom #diningroomdecor #londonfood #londonrestaurants #newopenings #londonisopen #cosmopolitan #yassa #jollof #jollofrice #scotchbonnet #scotchbonnetpepper #supporthospitality #foodtrend #culinarytrends #culinarylife #westafricancuisine #westafricanfood
SUDI SCOFFS: Truly a rare treat: I seldom eat stea SUDI SCOFFS: Truly a rare treat: I seldom eat steak so when I do I want it to be truly drooling delicious & memorable. Daring new Charlotte St arrival @briccoebaccolondon the new outpost of the revered Sicilian restaurant of the same name in Monreale close to Palermo offers a thrilling choice of dry-aged beef from an altar like ageing chamber. Finnish “Sashi” beef? It was new to me too so just had to be tried & apparently is fed for a while on coconut milk. It has a mellow minerality & depth accentuated by its dramatic finishing on a searingly hot Himalayan salt block. Just imagine the still rare steak imbued with a salty crust. An exceptional experience & prefaced by superb hand cut beef tartare with orange, lemon & fennel & superb caponata resonate with agrodolce that tastes of slow devoted cooking . Owner Roberto is charmingly exuberant with his knowledge, pride & enthusiasm. This is an unexpected treat - provocatively opposite @norma_ldn (though who didn’t say competition is good for mutual business) and deserves to thrive . Ps the cassata is glorious, colourful & extravagantly draped with almond icing & glacé fruit like old times. & I had a wonderful catch up with @sarahwyndham.lewis too who shares my love of Sicily. #sicily #sicilyfood #sicilytourism #sicilianfood #sicilianrestaurant #londondining #londonrestaurants #newrestaurant #charlottestreet #fitzrovia #beef #beefribs #finnish #bedifferent #steak #himalyansaltblock #steaktartare #citrus #fennel #caponata #eatingwithfriends #eatingout #friendships

My halo 👼 is glowing as I’ve worked very hard My halo 👼 is glowing as I’ve worked very hard this week, supported friends in need, made a few amends & also been creative in using everything in my larder & fridge for meals whilst cash flow so difficult. Huge thanks to @londondelicatessen @hannahmnorris for coming to my rescue with a delectable selection of foods from small producers - almost all new & enticing to me & helpfully collected on one website. Standout so far is @capreolusff smoked mutton redolent with rosemary, pepper & port which made for a brilliant Sudi’s scrumptious 😋 salad with a sprinkle of feta, rocket, walnuts, lemon zest & exceptional balsamico tradizionale given to me at the museum dedicated to balsamic vinegar in Spilamberto next to Modena which @massimobottura & @laratgilmore took me to several years ago. It would be brilliant for a special picnic treat too. Impressed too by smoked cumin salt & British made heritage wholewheat pasta. #shopsmall #shopartisan #artisanproducts #delicatessen #foodonline #mutton #smokedfood #picnicfood #salad #saladsofinstagram #saladideas #britishcharcuterie #greattasteawards #foodie #foodiefinds

Vibrantly different with great textural combinations: beetroot yoghurt, giant couscous, poached egg, macerated onions, mint & crunch of sukkah. There’s a Colombian take on scrambled egg with spinach & chilli plus fabulous, utterly moreish seeded soda bread with yeasted butter & cinnamon & vanilla red lentil pancakes with a side of orange juice to maximise bioavailability. This is definitely the tasty future of food.
