| January 24th,2012  Menu @Mishkin Category: Bistro (££)
I absolutely love Spuntino,have enjoyed Da Polpo,feel rather indifferent towards Polpo and haven’t yet been to Polpetto. This,in one sentence,summarises my experience with the restaurants owned by Russell Norman and Richard Beatty,undoubtedly the most interesting and most influential restaurateurs to have appeared in the London gastronomic scene over the past few years. January 21st,2012
Jerusalem artichokes (or Topinambour) is an unbelievably ugly vegetable,wrinkly and dirty and reminiscent of a bad looking ginger root. On top of this,their name is misnomer as they have no relation with the conventional,handsome globe artichoke and don’t origin in Isreal but are native to North America (more about the history,season,nutrition and preparation here). When I saw Jerusalem artichokes at Waitrose I bravely put them into my shopping basket,immediately followed by an urgent request for help on Twitter. January 16th,2012  Tinello Category: Bistro –Brasserie (££-£££)
It is a hard job to be an amateur restaurant critic. Always rushing off to the newest openings,which means,thanks to the new non-booking trend,queuing for hours in the cold,eating mediocre food in places hyped for inapprehensible reasons and then there is the constant fight against personal bankruptcy,alcoholism and obesity. January 12th,2012  Scallops,Garlic,Chili (11) @Galoupet Category: Brasserie (£££) And another small plate restaurant. I remember when these restaurants started to pop up everywhere I was thrilled. Now I have reached a point of saturation where all I want once in a while is a normal menu! January 9th,2012  Amuse bouche @Petrus Category: Haute Cuisine (££££) About a year ago I participated at a competition posted by the lovely Greedy Diva and won the amazing prize of a £200 voucher to dine at any of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants. Initially I wanted to splash it at the 3 Michelin star Gordon Ramsay at Hospital Road,but as I am not organised enough to make a reservation in due time ahead,I decided to try Petrus in Knightsbridge instead (reservation on the day possible). January 5th,2012  Smoak at Malmaison Manchester
Category: Hotel (££) I was invited to visit Malmaison Manchester –this review therefore is NOT ANONYMOUS. After having lived in the UK for over 6 years and having seen almost nothing outside of London,the invitation to visit Malmaison Manchester and its new restaurant Smoak seemed like the perfect opportunity to explore some more of what England has to offer. So I packed my best friend and my suitcase and made my way up to the North. January 4th,2012  Perfect marriage of pomegranate and aubergine This is another recipe adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi’s book Plenty (I have recently posted the recipe for his deliciously addictive roasted pumpkin taken from the same vegetarian cookery book). I love aubergines and this recipe gives this handsome vegetable a perfect center stage. Together with the tangy pomegranate seeds and the fresh yoghurt,this is a dish that would convince the most dedicated carnivore that vegetables are not too bad after all. December 31st,2011 The last post of the year is another list. I am not terribly excited about New Year’s celebrations,fireworks and staying up until dawn,but the end of the old year just gives you another reason to do a list! (I just love lists!) Here now my most read posts of the year 2011… (just shows that you like to read my lists December 28th,2011
 the best pumpkin recipe ever
After all the Christmas gluttony with plenty of meat and alcohol,I was in dire need of some detox. Luckily,I bought my mum Plenty by the famous London restaurateur Yotam Ottolenghi for Christmas and so we tried some of his recipes to cleanse our bodies and enjoy the pleasures of vegetables,herbs and spices. December 21st,2011  my super delicious Moroccan carrot salad I love all kinds of vegetables (most in fact apart from celeriac,broccoli and peppers) and I admired the way vegetable and salad dishes were prepared in Morocco –colourful,immersed in aromatic spices and drowned in beautiful olive or argan oil it made it an utmost pleasure to get your five a day and more. |
