Second week of feeling lousy and in constant pain Second week of feeling lousy and in constant pain from cellulitis and it is the little things that count. Kay’s coconut jam from @honeysommelierlondon travels (where to? I ask in quiz mistress mode), herbal drops from @wilder.botanics from @thesmallhome, Happiness @neomorganics candle as recommended by the ever wise, supportive & stylish @prgirl65 an unexpected lovely note from @zestmid & regular check in calls from long loyal friends especially @helenmangham @lisamjthefaut @paulafitzherbert @madame_foiegras @nikskitchenldn . Best news is my lovely son @theopigott is going to come home to stay for a few days to help me properly rest even though it is his 25th birthday tmrw and my niece @alexvictorr who rightly insisted I take myself to A & E for lots of reassurance. Realise I am fortunate it is not even more serious, still I’m just not good at being unwell. #lookingafterme #lookingaftermyself #gettingbetter #rest #cellulitis #lovemyson #lovemyfriends❤️ #takingiteasy
Pelican style cooking on one leg seems the only op Pelican style cooking on one leg seems the only option for me presently, and, only for very short bursts of time as right leg still woefully painful with cellulitis. Still managed to make salad inspired by @angelacooking recipe for @belazu_co #belazubanquet with addition of masses of asparagus plus @nadine_abensur tahini & orange dressing from her new ebook Nadine’s Feasts available through her website. Plus rest of @ottolenghi supra silky hummus & sourdough from Surbiton’s @frankoniathebreadhouse. Lunch perfection with @theopigott in my garden haven.#sunday #sundaylunch #sundayvibes #summersalad #summer2020 #asparagus #tahini #hummus
I used not to “get” gardening atall. Now, when I used not to “get” gardening atall. Now, when I have my weekly catch up with my closest friends from uni @helenmangham @lisamjthefaut we laugh at ourselves talking gardens. I may have got this dreadfully painful cellulitis through some rather drastic talckling of an old honeysuckle, yet it has become my haven during my long solitary self isolation. Can’t wait to have my Dad @bvpainter to lunch and would love him to paint the garden too. I am pleased to say it is looking the best it has ever looked, even better than when the ex, massively into plants, claimed it as his domain to my exclusion. No food quiz this evening whilst I recover, though please join next SUN 7 June, I’d like to make my 10th SUDI FOODIE QUIZ my biggest and best quiz. And I’ve found some very interesting, possibly provocative, new culinary implements. Happy Sunday. #sunday #sundaymornings #sunshine #sunshinestateofmind #foodie #foodquiz #quizmistress #foodlover #foodwriter #newcookbooks #cookbooksmakemehappy #gardening #gardenlife #transformingmygarden #lovemygarden
I’ve always wanted to be sent peonies, thank you I’ve always wanted to be sent peonies, thank you @theopigott if only we could have proper Get Well Hugs. Imagine how it feels to not hug or be hugged by my beautiful son or anyone else in 10 weeks. & especially when I am feeling so unwell so unfortunately no Sudi Foodie quiz this Sunday, tho will be back for my 10th Quiz next Sunday 7 June 7pm on zoom. Pls book on eventbrite. & this more obscure piece of batterie de cuisine will feature. What is it? #flowers #peonies #lovemyson #foodquiz #foodies #foodiesofinstagram #foodgeek #foodknowledge #eatingaroundtheworld #cellulitisinfection #foodlovers
Setting a new brunch trend? @ottolenghi ambrosial Setting a new brunch trend? @ottolenghi ambrosial silky hummus from @belazu_co #belazubanquet virtual supper club @chefsinschools_uk fundraiser with bacon!!! Very definitely not kosher yet the salty top quality bacon worked beautifully against the creamy savoury richness of hummus made from jarred chickpeas, no oil but iced water and whizzed to perfection. The exceptional crusted sourdough from @frankoniathebreadhouse (who deliver) nailed it. And I highly recommend the Kitchen novellas too by @_banana_yoshimoto_ #virtualsupperclub #foodtrends #restauranttrends #thenew sandwich #foodlover
What a day it is has been. 6hrs of incredible care What a day it is has been. 6hrs of incredible care A & E @kingscollegehospitallondon thanks to my beautiful niece @alexvictorr urging me to come in after a sleepless night of 111 and 999 passing me back & forth despite displaying all symptoms of a blood clot. Plus massive early morning support from @nikskitchenldn & @suewixley Turns out to be cellulitis - I’d never heard of it but I have a throbbing leg like a jamon, dizziness & other delights. And probably all because I started tearing down a dead honeysuckle on the fence adjoining with my neighbours who made me so mad telling me to talk to friends on phone in my garden. Thankfully back in time for my Dad @bvpainter 88th birthday family Zoom & exquisite @fenellafoodie trout en croute which my Dad & @theopigott loved too . Now need plenty of rest . No sick pay no furlough, no exceptional circumstances, just the gritty reality of back to coping with it all on my solitary, though at least I am home again. I really wasn’t sure I would be this morning. #lockdown #birthday #lovemydad #lookaftermyself

As the wise & visionary @sirtimsmit co-founder of As the wise & visionary @sirtimsmit co-founder of @the_eden.project said on his brilliant talk on @charlestontrust festival YouTube talk (available to all) everyone needs their own Eden close to them. This is my sunny sanctuary & I am very fortunate to have it. It is also why I was and am LIVID that my next door neighbour asked me to refrain from talking to my friends on the phone in the garden FFS. I am isolating on my own, I’ve eaten on my own for 70 days now, I work 7 days a week trying to make up for the shit UC of £6 a MONTH the govt has “awarded” me whilst taking away what turned out to be other more meaningful benefits & saying they can’t be reinstated. I may have a lovely home but with less than £500 self employment “support” for the 3 month of shutdown whilst so many are bleating yet have furlough until October, I am struggling in many ways. So perhaps you can understand why I keep flogging my food writing workshops & food quiz every Sunday eve 7pm (check www.sudifoodie.com or my bio for full details). It is also why I feel hurt that barely any chefs or PRs whose businesses I have boosted for the past 25 years have bothered to help promote it or take part. Think of paying forward especially during #mentalhealthawarenessweek when a little more #kindness especial in your local community as @siobhanbenita @libdems London mayoral candidate & Sir Tim Smit advocate would make a difference & make for a better future. #foodlovers #myeden #mysanctuary #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #selfcare #selflovejourney #gardenlife #garden #greenspace #greenheadspace #foodie #foodnerd #foodstagram #curiousaboutfood #foodquotes #foodquiz #foodquizmistress #foodwriter #foodwritingworkshop #kindness #kindnessmatters #kindnessiscontagious #compassion #makingabetterfuture
Thrilled with my article on virtual supper clubs f Thrilled with my article on virtual supper clubs for @femail today and how quickly they turned it round. And interviewed this pm on @thedailyshow about the trend too and introduced as food writer/quiz mistress. Very much looking forward to @belazu_co Virtual Banquet for @chefsinschools_uk with @ottolenghi @angelacooking @thomasinamiers @jeremyleeqv @chefjoshkatz @pizzapilgrims Fri 27 plus definitely doing another @quarantine_supper_club as such fun as were @delicatandsons @leratofoods @carousel_ldn @67pall_mall all very different options too. Plus most intrigued by the pomegranate & rosemary vodka cocktails @jelleys_organic_vodka_ @burntlemonchef collaboration for Father’s Day. Being in lockdown on my own is challenging especially for someone like me who thrives on company & parties so these (plus my own Sun eve Zoom food quizzes) have made a huge difference to my staying positive. #virtualsupperclub #virtualsupperclubs #virtualdinnerparty #virtualcookingclass #virtualcooking #foodie #foodstagram #foodlover #chefsofinstagram #topchefs #femail #keepingbusy #mentalhealthawareness

Divine delivery from @brunswick_house huge thanks Divine delivery from @brunswick_house huge thanks @jackson_boxer & team for going beyond. Roast chicken is always special though this Springfield really had the sweet freshness of farmyard about it. And the sherry sauce so thoughtful in its complexity. I licked the saucepan clean! Served with Marinda tomatoes, grilled peppers, capers & properly chunky torn croutons. Overly roast potatoes and butter hard lettuce model’s own. The kind of meal you’d hope to rustle up staying in a gorgeous French farmhouse. Just whalI need after a fun yet intense evening of food writing workshops on @obbyuk #yummy roast #fiidmemoriewnwjh

Holiday on a plate. I’d hoped to explore Greek Holiday on a plate. I’d hoped to explore Greek cheeses with @odysea_ltd this Spring in situ. Strictly from Cyprus, what milk is halloumi traditionally made from ? Kefalotiri is the go to cheese for what yummy fried cheese dish popular in Greece beginning with s? Join my FOOD & DRINK QUIZ MON EVE 7pm this week as am taking this eve off. Details in bio or Eventbrite. Looks like I’ll be limiting myself to conjuring Greek tastes on my plate this year. As exploring new foods is one of my main reasons to travel, I’m going to be even more adventurous in my cooking this summer. Intense iced coffee from @milkcoffeeldn who’ve cleverly started selling their house favourites from Earlsfield smoked salmon to homemade kombucha as pre-order take outs or deliveries along with some of their brunch specials as meal kits. Iced coffee always makes me think longingly of many gorgeous holidays staying close to Beziers chatting by the pool with my great friend from uni & former flat sharer @helenmangham. #holidaycooking #lockdownlife #lockdown2020 #quarantinelife #greekfood #halloumi #food #foodquiz #travellingthroughfood #odyssey #greekcheese #watermelon #holidayfood
