@GregoryPorter loves his food as much as I love hi

@GregoryPorter loves his food as much as I love his music, he even cooked in his late brother’s New York cafe-restaurant and has a food channel. It was thrilling to interview him in advance of his October Uk tour and with more news of his latest album this week. In yesterday’s @TelegraphTravel . It’s online too. Back to work early this am & missing my pre breakfast swim with my feature on the resurgence of Beziers due in today with news/review of the thrilling new gastronomic restaurant there @lalternative_restaurant whose chef -proprietor @gilles_goujon trained with the legendary Roger Verge @moulindemougis & head chef @quentin_pellestor is an @alainducasse alumni running this superb kitchen alongside the Goujon sons trained by their father. #gregoryporter #hero #modernjazz #chef #restaurant #cook #culinarytravel #foodlover #foodie #foodandtravel #beziers #newrestaurants #foodandfrance #gillesgoujon #lalternativerestaurant #bezierstourisme #occitanie

& bliss. Today I’ve swam, dozed, read, brilliant @shafakelif latest novel, chatted, drunk fine rose and ate plentifully without having to prepare anything myself. After so so long of eating on my own, living alone, it is so brilliant to be spending a spoiling week close to Beziers with my brilliant friend @helenmangham & @stephenmangham & extra bonus time with Natalie too. Here’s to the power of friendship, blue skies and slow days. #france #languedoc #beziers #bezierstourisme #holiday #lovefrance #house in France #friendship #sun #rosé #mauraussan #randr #frenchholidays #slowtravel #foodwriter #foodwriting #foodwritintlgworkshop

Immensely pleasing to see my article first researched with many hours of @englishheritage #mrscrocombe viewing during lockdown in #Inspire @femail today & @nigellalawson to take my cheeky reference to her with such good grace! Fittingly, I’ve spent the morning busy cooking a special lunch for dear friends: fresh broad bean & pea salad with burrata, sardines with roasted tomatoes and crisp pitta & summer pudding with my favourite #gigondas #gigondaswine from @waitrose to drink. #cooking #foodwriter #cookbooks #foodporn #foodwriting #foodwritingworkshop (next date mid Sept @obbyuk) #foodie #cooking #entertaining #cookingforfriends #caponata #broadbeans #freshpeas #burrata #sardines #summerpudding #summerentertaining #bankholiday #food #recipes #lovefood #waitrosefood #waitrosefoodmagazine #femail #nigella #mrscrocombe #englishheritage #ckbk

SUDI SCOFFS: Dad & I share a voracious appetite fo

SUDI SCOFFS: Dad & I share a voracious appetite for both art & food. What better than to combine the two @royalacademyarts with thrilling opening @jose_pizarro civilised restaurant in the ornate yet not intimidating Senate room with a more informal tapas bar below. All @josepizarrorestaurants favourites are here - cooked to vibrant perfection - plus a few new to me. Jamon bellota iberico croquetas are perfect, delicate & crisp yet lusciously filled. Pickled aubergine anointed with finely grated manchego cheese & capers sounds unlikely yet the earthy umami flavours suit each other. Chorizo cooked in red wine with membrillo (quince) is as gorgeous, spicy and full bodied as a great Rioja. My top dish: confit of leeks adorned with some of the finest deeply savoury & plump Cantabrian anchovies - cured in salt for two years - a must for AODs like myself (anchovy obsessive devotees). Desserts are exceptional too: the lightest of barely burnt Basque cheesecake and an ambrosial saffron custard with raspberries. Choose Jose’s own label wines for excellent quality at good prices. It is sedately humming, so do reserve ahead to enjoy the Med in Mayfair. #spain #spanishfood #spanishrestaurant #tapas #croquetas #jamoniberico #aubergine #manchego #chorizo #anchovy #anchovies #dad #lovemydad #dinewithdad #royalacademy #royalacademyofarts #josepizzaro #nourishpr #mediterraneandiet #mediterranean #mayfair #mayfairlondon #foodandart #restaurantsinlondon #newrestaurant #lovelondon#foodie #londonfoodie #japancentre

SUDI SCOFFS: Joy and generosity are palpably as important as the beguiling, homely and utterly delicious food @darjeelingldn. This was an absolute feast and entirely appropriate for a giddy rare catch up with old friends @chefbrunobreillet (visiting from France: check out & book his pop-up Casa Madre Hackney this weekend Mexican mash up with French cooking 🥘 with @fairytalefoodie @bohemiaplacemarkets ) @cookwithcorinne @caroline__aherne @freefrombakehse . Rare is the place where a chicken dish comes with two magnificently juicy and fleshy chicken legs in a wondrous sauce imbued with saffron, mace and nutmeg, a flavour combination completely new to me and cooked with such alchemy that all the spices stood out distinctively. Every last drop of sauce demanded to be eaten with excellent paratha. The set £35 dinner menu starts with zingy, high crunch lentil fritter bites and all the big hitters are offered as starters from the plump juicy prawns sizzled liberally with dried chilli and garlic to puchka with tamarind water. Both Hunza apricots and carrot halwa, my favourite dessert that I first tasted many, many years ago @chutneymary.london come adorned with pistachio and a beautiful little ceramic pot of cream. Everything feels and is generous here, amplified by @asmakhanlondon making a little impromptu speech about all the challenges hospitality has faced and the unstinting loyalty of her fellow home taught all female cook kitchen and utterly charming front of house team (whom significantly all returned post lockdown). Diners actually clapped and cheered. If you’re still wondering what all the fuss is about @asmakhanlondon & why she is the first UK chef to star in @chefstablenetflix just go. #hospitality #hospitalityindustry #indianfood #spices #indianspices #restaurant #londonrestaurants #londonrestaurantguide #londonfood #londonlife #londonisopen #oldfriends #catchupwithfriends #spreadlove #joy #generosity #goodservice #greedy #foodie #foodlovers #indianrecipes #greatstaff #fortheloveoffood #spicelovers #foodies #foodiesofinstagram

Very tempted to try just a few more of my #parmigianoreggiano shortbread with truffle salt (I’ve already made double quantiles). Resisting with difficult as they are for our family get together with my cousin who lives in Tenerife and her partner which we’ve been planning and rearranging for the past two years. Very much looking forward to it happening early next week. #family #familytogether #familyparty #reunion #gettingtogether #familyparty #baking #parmesan #parmesanshortbread #trufflesalt #truffle #nibbles #foodie

SUDI SCOFFS: Tonight at #Sachi @_pantechnicon I

SUDI SCOFFS: Tonight at #Sachi @_pantechnicon I experienced the nadir of sashimi & sushi with @nikskitchenldn & I truly understood & rapturously tasted how important the way the fish is caught, cut & the highest grade sushi rice cooked to pearlescent semi-firm perfection (no room for mushiness here). It is truly an art form at this level: utterly sublime. It was also a thrilling education in appreciating good sake from the earthy & mellow to delicate & floral and how important even the receptacles are. Everything about this restaurant has grace and style as well as quite possibly the most caring, gentle yet authoritative in their knowledge service I’ve experienced in a very long time. A huge bravo to @chrisgolding80 for bringing together such an exceptional & ambitious gastro-temple. Ps there’s a kiosk around the back of the building should you fancy a Japanese brew & lounge in a deckchair mid-afternoon. #japanesefood #japanesedining #japanesestyle #sashimi #sushi #tataki #sake #newrestaurant #londonrestaurants #belgravia #pantechniconlondon #bestjapanese #bestsushi #luxurydining #dininginstyle #treatrestaurant #sushimistress

SUDi SCOFFS: The fragility & purity made me gasp. I hadn’t eaten Japanese food throughout the dark ages & had almost forgotten quite how how sublime the experience is. @sumilondon is the little cousin to @rotundalondon & a more informal, approachable & affordable way to experience the artistry. The temaki are a must. I loved the contrast between the supreme fatty tuna & the fermented & marinated daikon finishes with the deep fragrance of sansho leaves. The diced Loch Fyne scallop temaki was equally ravishing finished with shiso blossoms & yuzu. I loved too fish of the day: impeccably cooked sea bream with lightly crisp skin adorned with broad beans and served with a warm seaweed & yuzu dressing. I enjoyed too a glass of exceptionally dry sake with pleasing minerality. I’d forgotten too the very particular joy of eating out alone & being able to focus wholly on the food plus a little discreet eavesdropping/people-watching. And, it is only 19.30pm & I’m on the way home. Who else likes eating earlier now? #japan #japanesefood #japaneserestaurant #japanesedining #sushi #temaki #seaweed #wasabi #yuzu #sake #londonrestaurants #londonfood #londondining #londonisopen #culinary #foodwriting #restaurantreview #restaurantcritic #westbournegrove #nottinghill #nottinghillmovie

Do you wanna dance? @carnabylondon is thriving as ever & probably the most vibrant place I’ve been in London this summer, culinarily too. After a whirlwind gastro tour rather like San Sebastián bar hopping trying everything from sublime cod’s roe with bottarga & lemon to an extraordinary modernist Greek salad @inogastrobar to Korean tacos & perilla g & t @koreandinnerparty. After that I needed to shake my hips to rockabilly @blackkatboppers (often tho not this eve joined by the Clash’s Paul Simenon or @damonalbern of @blur a fine step is Philip Salon (creator of Mud Club who discovered Boy George) with @markpowellbespoke who dressed the likes of Bowie & Jagger walking through. There’s music & comedy #newburghstreet 6pm-8pm each Thursday eve throughout August. @carnabylondon is definitely still swinging & reinventing itself too. Ps new @bar_crispin is a delight with rose-orange wine, extremely moreish 12 spice roasted cabbage with cucumber (#vegan)mayo & extraordinary black garlic ice-cream. #carnabystreet #carnabylondon #londonisopen #foodielondon #foodie #foodlovers #food #livingitup #greekfood #gastrotour #gastrosoho #koreanfood #naturalwinebar #veganfood #naturalwine #livemusic #band #dancing #dancers #popupfestival #discoverlondon #londonfoodie

SUDI SCOFFS: Time travel Balham to Bangkok in fiv

SUDI SCOFFS: Time travel Balham to Bangkok in five minutes, well almost @burningrosethai . Having been fortunate enough to have experienced David Thompson’s outstanding food several times at Nahm & in a thrilling one-off @rouxwatersideinnbray hosted by the late Michel Roux, I knew that a restaurant with former Nahm Exec Chef Matthew Albert had to be brilliant news for Balham. The intense yet fragrant aromas of pounded lemon grass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves along with a lot of garlic, galangal, chilli & fish sauce that flirt with your tastebuds when you enter with a welcome assault of furious cooking going on in the open kitchen confirm that this is going to be vividly flavoured Thai cooking at its most moreish. Start with fine shards of chilli & lime piquant squid & delicate cloud ear mushroom spring rolls. The Pad Thai is a perfectly balanced complex mix of flavours: slightly acidic, spicy, bitter and sweet with palm sugar mixed with thin just slightly chewy noodles, luscious prawns and plenty of peanut crunch. What was left of my lemongrass Negroni made an excellent agrodolce partner. Equally pleasing is exuberant sea bass yellow curry with considerable heat tempered by exemplary coconut rice. Staff are notably conversant with the dishes and gently solicitous despite the restaurant veritably buzzing like a busy Bangkok Street when it is only a Tuesday evening . #thai #thairestaurant #thaicooking #lemongrass #galangal #londonrestaurants #balhamrestaurant #balham #cookthai #thaisauce #padthai #padthainoodles #lemongrass #galangal #chili #neighbourhoodrestaurant #support #foodie #balham #keepitlocal #foodporn #food #foodie

There had to be chocolate and only the best of the best to celebrate the life of the late @sarajaynestanes OBE @amedeituscany seen enjoyed here by @johnwilliamschef @hurlinghamvenue . It was a truly splendid yet pleasingly unconventional funeral with eloquent eulogy and much wit and admiration of her incredible achievements in furthering culinary education. Scroll on for photos of SJ including one of her looking like the wild and beautiful 60s girl she was.

Very chuffed to interview one of my favourite novelists whom I’ve followed since Chocolat @joannechocolat for @telegraphtravel on back page of today’s Weekend Travel. Joanne speaks as lyrically as she writes & was such a pleasure to talk with her. AND it seems timely that I have just booked my first travel since Autumn 2019 😁 flying to Beziers to stay Chez @helenmangham @stephenmangham . I can’t wait to be back on French soil for a whole week with dear friends, making the most of French markets & 😌 relaxing big time. #travel #travelislife #travelisback #holidaythatchangedeverything #mindfulness #mindful #joanneharris #novelist #chocolat #travelwriting #telegraphtravel #holiday #france #francophile #beziers #beziers #languedoc

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
