Relaxed home cooking What would you define as: relaxed home cooking? For each of us the term will mean something different. For some of us, relaxed home cooking will literally just be simple home cooking, for others it may be the one pot meal, the tray-bake or bowl-food, however, for some it may be something…

El Capote – Chef Lede
This time round El Capote surprised us by holding its food and wine event on a Saturday! Children were sent to their grandparents’ houses and the old faithfuls treated their partners to a fantastic night at El Capote. Not being allowed in before 9pm opening time, we congregated on Market Lane wondering what delicacies were…
Panna Cotta
There’s always room for dessert! You sit down at your local trattoria to stay out of the lunchtime sun knowing exactly what you’re going to have for dessert – panna cotta. More grown up than ice-cream but just as cooling and light. You plan your antipasti and primo piatto with this in mind, making sure…
Gold
Over the past few days it has been impossible to go to sleep comfortably due to the searing heat and high temperatures. Sitting, sweltering in humid, airless evenings has been unbearable. The thought of having to turn an oven on and subsequently heat up the house is quite frankly the last thing I’d want to…

Be it the bleakest winter or the height of summer, there are always tomatoes. I’m not trying to be cloyingly obvious with the statement but surely if it’s in the sunnier months where the vegetable (or should I say fruit?) has had months of intense heat and sunshine to help it ripen and fill it…

And with all things Italian – eating…
Foodie Weekend
Licking my lips, I alighted from the Heathrow Express at Paddington and made my way to the Southbank Centre to check out the Cheese and Wine Festival. Having arrived late-afternoon (I had just flown in from Gib!) I had missed the ‘food theatre’ and even though there were not many people jostling around the food…
El Capote – Chef Lede
I can’t wait for Ian to either email me or send me a text message letting me know about the next food and wine matching event at El Capote. Talking to Ian about the direction the events are now going in, he admitted that they are no longer food and wine matching evenings where the wine flows from beginning…
Comforting Fish Pie
We leave Winter behind and step into Spring but sadly even though the temperatures have gone up the weather does not really seam to be reflecting this yet. So with the dreary weather hanging over us I still have penchant for comfort food. So what does comfort food really mean to me? If I were to…
