Category: My Week In Food

My Week in Food is a diary of my food shopping, cooking and eating out. I mention favourite websites, food shops, restaurants and food and drink related people and sometimes give related recipes. Most often, though, the recipe comes in a note form rather than a formulated recipe although there is always enough detail to get you cooking. Actual recipes are in the Recipes section of the website.

My Week in Food started Sunday 23 June 2019 and despite the occasional omission, usually caused by my useless grasp of WordPress, I’ve kept it up every week, although I have been late posting. Some weeks are more interesting than others but there is always something worth reading about and it’s a backlog worth dipping in and out of, often with mini-essays on various aspects of food.

8 SEPT 19

The lovely Indian summer weather is holding out, hot like summer during the day but chilly in the evening, so comfort food and lighting the fire, is starting to change the way we think about what we want to eat. I’m thinking sausages, writing notes to myself and popping into Macken’s (www.mackenbrothers.co.uk) to get more…

1 SEPT 19

It’s worse than back to school in my house, it’s Diet Week; no booze, no potatoes, no pasta, no rice, no bread, no cheese and Small Portions. I decide to give up breakfast, having read Anna Murphy, the Times fashion supremo, claiming she lost a stubborn half stone by doing just that. My breakfast is…

A TICKET TO RYE: 23 AUG 19

I haven’t been to Rye since I was a small girl. During the long summer holidays my parents would often get my brothers, sister and me up early for a day out to the coast, usually the Kent or Sussex coast and we’d pack into the car with a humungous pic-nic, usually with a couple…

27 July 19 Eygalieres, Provence: Part 1

 So begins two weeks in Provence. We’ve come to the same house for the second year running, a splendid mas, as they call the traditional farmhouses round here, on the outskirts of Eygalieres, a delightful village close to St Remy de Provence. Lavender grows in profusion next to lawns in front of the house, fruit…

21 July 19

Sunday All the work for the family bbq done, all I have to do is lay the table in the garden and thread the chicken onto kebab sticks. Now this should be a quick, painless episode but although I’d thought ahead and soaked wooden sticks, decided to use my ancient metal skewers, now tarnished with…

14 July 19

Sunday Lunch at Harry’s (aka Giannakaros Traditional Fish Tavern) on the beach at Thanos, Lemnos, is as good as ever. Harry jumped ship to the family’s other restaurant at Kontias (more later) some years ago and younger brother Peter keeps the same high standards. While Harry’s son and daughter run Kontias, Peter’s daughter is a…

7 July 19

Sunday All week I’ve been segueing left at the car park entrance to Chiswick House to visit the horses and hens at Giffords Circus (www.GIFFORDSCIRCUS.COM for latest location details), recently arrived and set up in two huge meadows adjacent to Chiswick House. I love this charming old-fashioned circus run by Nell Gifford and this morning…

30 June 19

Sunday The wonderful sunny weather holds out, so it’s lunch in the garden and thoughts of super-easy, minimal cook meals. Made a batch of what I call River Café chillies, which is something my son Zach learnt when he worked there; red chillies are finely chopped then immersed in olive oil, ready for action. As…

23 June 19

Sunday For the first time in ages, the fish kettle came down from its perch above the kitchen window, it’s layer of grime scrubbed clean, ready to balance over two burners half filled with herby, acidulated water. There it simmered gently, poaching a splendid Cornish sea trout, its eyes sparkling brightly before they turned cloudy…
