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. December 18th, 2011  Sushi of Shiori
I actually wanted to publish this list as a celebratory 200th post on Hungry in London, but I absent-mindedly missed this special occasion – as a consequence this will now be the 201st post (still very celebratory of course). December 11th, 2011  Tagliolini al Tartufo Nero (19.50)
Category: Brasserie £££
Dear Sale e Pepe,Congratulations! You won the prestigious HungryinLondon Award for the worst and most overpriced meal of the year 2011. It was a close one between you and Osteria Basilico in Notthing Hill, (the Italians going strong!) but you managed to pull it off, well done! December 4th, 2011  Baked Pumpkin, Raschera Cheese, Mushrooms and Chard (13) @Elliot's
Category: Bistro  Elliot’s conveniently located South of Borough Market is exactly what had been missing from this part of London.  Launched in summer 2011 it has steadily increased in popularity, and this rightly so. Elliot’s is a typical London 2011 restaurant: easy going, no reservations, small plates to share, inventive seasonal food, friendly young personnel, and very affordable. (for other restaurants with similar concepts that opened in 2011 look no further than for example Spuntino, Da Polpo, Duck Soup Soho, Riding House Cafe, …). December 2nd, 2011  Raspberry Liquor Truffle or Chili Praline? Invited Product Review I usually don’t particularly like doing product reviews;  I do however make an exception for good chocolate (and truffles and champagne for that matter, if anyone fancies sending me some?) My good friend (this is what I call people who give me chocolate) from the Hotel Chocolate PR department sent me a box of their Seriously Dark Fix (£22 in retail) to review. He knows my taste – the darker the better! November 27th, 2011  St. Emilion St Emilion, located about half an hour outside of the city of Bordeaux, must be one of the prettiest and most enchanting little towns in France, if not Europe. If you manage to ignore the fact that it doesn’t feel ‘real’ but a bit like a Wine Disney World for national and international tourists, you will very likely have a highly enjoyable time there.  very dangerous in high heels!  Place du Marche in St. Emilion November 21st, 2011
 fragrant fruit in paper wrap Category: Haute Cuisine ££££ To finally dine at to Mugaritz was a foodie dream of mine coming true and on the big day I was excited like a little child on Christmas Eve. You have never heard of Mugaritz? Let me share some key facts with you first before proceeding to THE meal. Location:Mugaritz is located in the little village of Errenteria, a 15 minutes scenic drive away from Europe’s culinary capital San Sebastian in the Spanish Basque Country. |
