My FOOD & DRINK QUIZ launches this Sunday 5 April 8pm on Zoom and every subsequent Sunday eve. Questions will be a mix of the arcane, the silly, the suggestive, the “I ought to know that” and “how did I get so far without knowing..”. There is a PRIZE this week a 30g jar Aquitaine caviar with mother of pearl spoon courtesy @kingsfinefood1. Please book in advance so I can ascertain how easy/hard to make it!!

Instagram post 2277230262760716779_1789064555 My new social life. Aperitif with uni friends @helenmangham & @lisamjthefaut and same starter made for Cora, daughter of a neighbour celebrating her 14th birthday in lockdown. Fresh tagliatelle with pesto dropped at doorstep by Cora’s Mum and yummy, creamy, fluffy @nigellalawson NY cheesecake dropped at doorstep later by Jem, Cora’s younger brother. This is the neighbourly way we roll in Balham and certainly makes being solo self isolated more ok. Plenty of time to plan this, my first food quiz in a long while, this Sunday 5 April 8pm https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/food-drink-quiz-tickets-9744108259. #neighbours #theneighbourhood #lovethyneighborhood #lockdownliving #lockdownactivities #lockdown #foodie #foodiesofinstagram #foodquiz #foodquizzes #quizmistress #foodgeek #pubquiz #pubquiznight #sundayevening #sundayvibes #sundaynightquiz #eventbrite #pivot #reinventyourself #learnsomethingnew #competitive

Instagram post 2274673434151430625_1789064555 What culinary object I am using as a weight? Do you know who said “after a good dinner you can forgive anyone, even your relations”? Where in Italy is the home of hurrays? I am relaunching my Sudi foodie quizzes virtually on Zoom. First quiz this Monday 30 March 8pm. DM me to reserve a place. As numbers will be limited. More details www.sudifoodie.com . I plan to run the quizzes twice weekly (more on demand) and there will be prizes, and maybe a league of winners for a friendly fiendish quiz off. £10 per household entry (think of it as a modest round of drinks) as I can’t wait until June to claim my likely to be paltry self-employed “package”. #foodiequiz #foodieactivity #foodiegeek #quizmistress #lovefood #beafoodie #foodie #foodlover #gastronomy #restaurants #pradaforyourlarder #bestfoodingredients #storecupboardessentials #scratchcooking #cookingshow #cookalong #recipe #recipeoftheday #helphospitality #hospitalityaction #saverestaurants #helphospitality #chefs #quiz #pubquiz #helpselfemployed #helpfreelancers #eveningentertainment

Instagram post 2271016237429178586_1789064555 I felt a very lucky Mum yesterday which is what I so needed. @theopigott cycled over solo from Peckham which I understand is acceptable having sent me these gorgeous @bloomandwild flowers. Also framed picture taken by @kafayat_olaleye which I adore of Theo celebrating receiving his Masters at Queens’ College, Cambridge only a few weeks ago. We feasted on a classic @shaunhill2200 classic I remember having Gidleigh Park a very long time ago even before I was a food writer plus fresh herrings crusted in lime and pepper, char roast cauliflower with capers & pine nuts and these yummy chocolate and pecan cookies adapted from a @honeyandco recipe with @jeffersonsicecream vanilla & honeycomb ice cream (they’re still open in Balham for deliveries & collection of their fab organic house made ice cream & looked after me so well when I had the escalator accident). Being with Theo and talking on FaceTime with my Dad 87 being very sensible and upbeat After a week of self isolation (writing music lists for his jazz appreciation U3A classes which they then discuss on email and painting) really brought home how family and their safety matter more than anything and how much better it would be if this bumbling govt brought in compulsory lockdown otherwise we will see same tragic, scary loss of life as in Spain where my cousin @jllucks is in lockdown already. Ffs groups of teenagers are reportedly having lockdown gatherings on Wandsworth Common - what is wrong with their expensive education and parents? Keep safe and well and keep in touch. #lovemyson #mothersday #motherslove #motherson #mothersonlove #lovemydad #missmymum #lovemyfamily #priorities #stayinghome #stayinghealthy #scallops #soleofdiscretion #abelandcole #shaunhill #bringingrestaurantshome #scallops #herring #cauliflower #cookies #icecream #jeffersonsicecream
Instagram post 2268187059348607440_1789064555 Self isolation & working from home not at all bad when it involves staying in bed and reading and reviewing some of the latest new cookbooks including this wondrous book by the amazing Slovenian @anaros40 (@theworlds50best female chef winner) of @hisafranko with @kajasajovic (memories of our great times @madefor in Krakow). Also in the stack @mistereatgalway awesome Book of Irish Food and Silver Spoon Green. Thank you @phaidonfood @fiona_c_smith and @culturewhisper for commissioning such a gorgeous feature. Promise you’ll have it later today though I could draw out the research a very long enjoyable time. Thinking about setting up a virtual food book club/virtual dinner party group via @Zoom. Who’s interested?! Perhaps with a few guests from @thegfw, even chefs with downtime too? #gfw #culturewhisper #virtualcookbookclub #virtualdinner #virtualcookingclass #virtualcookingclub foodbook #foodie #cookbook #cookbookclub #cookbook #cooking #cookbooksmakemehappy #bookrecommendations #bookreview #bookstagram #readinginbed #food #foodwriter #foodwriting #foodwritingworkshop #anaros #jpmcmanus #foodontheedge #phaidonbooks #phaidonfood #commissionme #besocial #stayconnected #mybedroom

Instagram post 2266104904015657229_1789064555 Rejoicing at feeling well enough (those bruises are fading and the dizziness diminished) to have a coffee with laptop in the sun @applebluepatisserie . Do you think I had one of their mesmerising almond croissant? Wondering if I should still run my next food writing workshop at home this Saturday 21 March from 1030am-4.30 in my Balham @kitchensbyholloways impeccable kitchen. Who’s in? I will limit it to four participants to allow for social distancing whilst at the table. 20% of my usual price too. £100 including slap-up lunch.

Instagram post 2264609990777901353_1789064555 My first solo outing in 10 days after the escalator accident. It had to be the flakiest of in house made almond croissants & cappuccino @applebluepatisserie (busy as usual). Watch out for first of my new series of immune boosting recipes going up this weekend. www.sudifoodie.com and happy to still run my next Food Writing Workshop Sat 4 April at my Balham home with slap up lunch. Contact me for more details. Online workshops coming soon. I just want to emphasis, thankfully, I haven’t had the virus 🦠 only bruises and concussion. #upandabout #feelingmyself #feelinggood #recovering #keepcafesbusy #supporthospitality #food #foodwriter #food writing #foodwritingworkshop #explorecreativity #whattodoinselfisolation #beyourbestself
Instagram post 2262766966573829381_1789064555 My neighbours really are the best. This morning one who’s a renowned musician went shopping for lots of health boosting foods, others have offered to do errands or provide company (no 🦠 here thankfully just bruises & fragility). This evening newish neighbour @mallikabasu_ whom I met through @thegfw dropped by with the most thrillingly spiced butter chicken & dhal which did wonders for my mood. I sense my appetite is returning. I feel so fortunate to have so many #goodneighbors. We have an annual street party, a bookclub and there’s plenty of sharing meals too. Who else has such friendly, supportive (& it happens incredibly creative with the most diverse range of specialisms) neighbours? I’d love to know. #goodneighbours, #lovemyneighbours #balham #balhamfood #balhamlife #foodheals #sharingiscaring #sharingfood #bekind #bekindtooneanother #foodie #foodwriter #foodwriters #foodwriterlife #foodwritingworkshop #mallikabasu_
Instagram post 2261308096491958630_1789064555 So this evening instead of attending a belated International Women’s Day literary and culinary salon, I am home alone yet again. Spoken to doctor and seems I probably do have mild concussion and the odd glass of wine probably hasn’t helped as I feel worse if anything. Taking comfort from reclining on sofa eating pears roast with ground almonds, honey and naughty little glug of sherry and lots of Balham’s @jeffersonsicecream best ever chocolate ice cream with gorgeous mousse like mouthfeel (a lovely thoughtful get well soon gift from owner Celine). Revelling in reading rebellious and brilliant Charlotte Druckman “Women on Food”. Picture finally framed by @sophieherx in homage to a strong & adventurously foodie woman, my maternal grandma. Beautiful tulips in vase once belonging to my grandma from my beloved son @theopigott. #internationalwomensday2020 #internationalwomensday #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womeninhospitality #womenonfood #womeninfood #womenoffood #lesdamesdescoffier #womeninthefoodindustry #atthetable #jikoni #charlottedruckman #sophieherxheimer #mygranny #lovemyson #lovemyhome #jeffersonsicecream
Instagram post 2260230963950722785_1789064555 It doesn’t feel great that I am spending a sunny International Women’s Day resting in bed recovering from the thoughtless thuggery of a drunken man who fell on me on escalator going down to Kings x and I ended up head down being dragged from the escalator. What brute would do that and not even stop to see if I was injured. Just discovered more bruises on my head behind my ear which is not good. Anyway despite writing about women in food for years and years no one had offered me a platform today. So you’ll all need to wait for me to be recovered to discover what I am doing with @womenoffood to make more Cheffes visible. A shout out to some of those I most admire meanwhile @anaros40 (her book published next month) @annesophiepic @chefclaresmyth @selinkiazim @romygill @asmakhanlondon @marthaortiz @nieves_barragan1 @littlechefsally @chef_chantelle @skyegyngell & equally importantly among the many, many chefs who deserve to be more known @the_modernchef @tobiasanna @jane_alty @magschef @nokxmajozi @chef_thuy_pham @shuli_wimer @lucy_pedder @pamelaburkex @robertahallmx. Watch this space for more. #internationalwomensday2020 Thanks to Caroline Aherne @freefrombakehse for the brilliant chocolate cake, @prgirl65 for @original_beans Femmes Virunga chocolate, still the best and @eric_lanlard lemon tart, and Celine Thompson @jeffersonsicecream for the treats & @supersuse for the chicken soup & nutritional advice. #lookafteryourself #foodforsoul #internationalwomensday #changingtheworld #changingthenarrative #needlessviolence #bekind #bekindtoyourself #rest #womenofrestaurants #womenofhospitality #womensupportingwomen #women
Instagram post 2257988150701764557_1789064555 WANTED A DRUNK HIT & RUN at KINGS X TUBE LAST NIGHT Around 10pm on way to Northern line Southbound. On the way back after @jewishbookweek panel talk on how to combat anti Semitism with @hugorif Julia Neuberger, Simon Schama and a lovely drink with Jewish journalist friends I’d only met on Facebook before I was going home from Kings X on tube. Suddenly I found myself face down on the descending escalator. Someone stopped the escalator, someone else, with some difficulty, got me up. I was panicking and thought I’d lost my bag. It seemed a drunk man in blue with a beard had fallen on top of me and in turn I fell on another passenger, a professor of economics on his way to Norway to mark a PHD. He dislocated his shoulder. I have cuts and bruises all over, very shaken with swollen foot, painful hip and chest and can hardly walk. It has ruined my next few days as I can’t get to meetings, so will miss out on potential work and clearly no exercise having started a new regime. I thought I was being attacked for going to the discussion on anti Semitism . A very frightening experience. @londonundergroundofficial didn’t take a proper statement. I was too shocked to insist. A very kind Irish lady Irene took me to first aid and cleaned me up and later accompanied me down to the tube and arranged for me to met at Balham. Her sour-faced supervisor Cathy someone refused my request for a taxi and said if I needed an ambulance she’d call one as they had to do for the other man. But couldn’t help in any other way as it wasn’t their fault, it was another passenger who caused the injuries. Lawyers out there, should I have insisted, have any grounds to complain? After a really good and productive, positive week this feels a hard and painful blow. Staying in bed for the moment though, of course, had to make my own breakfast. #feelingsorryformyself #injured #londonundergroundofficial #undergroundaccident #evilstrangers #kindnessmatters #needlegalhelp #lookingafterme
