Not Very Local, Again
Vienna has been at the forefront of my mind over the last few weeks. Ahead of our trip there I was occupied with finding recommendations for sights to see, arts to appreciate and walks to walk. But, unsurprisingly perhaps, it … Continue reading
Eat 17, Walthamstow
Service. It’s the buzz word in the food blogosphere, thanks to Michel Roux’s new BBC programme, and it’s got me thinking too. As much as peoples’ opinions can differ about good food, they can also differ about good service: one … Continue reading

La Rugoletta, East Finchley
Olive oil and garlic are the predominant flavours of the food at La Rugoletta, and that’s no bad thing. The right sort of oil is used in the right place: a lighter one for the fried wild mushrooms, a more … Continue reading
Noel et le Nouvel An
I’ve been in the South of France for the last couple of weeks eating lots of food which, even by my lax definition, cannot be described as local to London and its surrounds. Still – it’s where I’ve been imbibing … Continue reading

Farm:Shop
Oh you lucky Dalston-ites: not only do you have your own market, Chinese-restaurant-in-a-former-eel-pie-and-mash-shop AND a fruit and veg shop that just sells mobile phones – seriously, it’s on Bradbury Street – now you have Farm:Shop too. OK, maybe they’re not … Continue reading
