Happy New Year to you Dear Fran.

I will certainly be picking this book up. Some people find Silvena Rowe quite bossy, but I disagree and think she is quite charming.

Thanks for visiting food show glad you enjoyed it....

Hi so lovely to see you back blogging. I was wondering about you and have come by a number of times:D

Your meal at the Launceston Place, sounds grand.

Hi Grubworm - I think they do this on a Saturday. There's a special Sunday lunch menu when they do a roast with many trimmings. You're right, it's astonishing value.

2010-09-17T15:37:15.817+01:00

Ooo - £20 - for all that. Wow, seems like an absolute steal. Do they do this lunch on a weekend - it would make for a superb combo with a museum visit.

Oo - great news about Steve!
Agree, MiMi - it is the most wonderful place. I need to go back soon...

This is why Launceston Place is my favourite restaurant!

Steve has just left sadly (hopefully to open his own place), but the rest of the team continue to produce stellar work ;)

Fran has just very kindly brought some of this in for me and it was bl**dy gorgeous - easily as googd as Taqueria and worth the time and effort (especially when it was someone else's time and effort) But I shall be buying the Rick Bayless book and returning the favour shortly. Thank you xx

2010-07-09T15:11:30.691+01:00

Thanks Mango! It really is a great book, though quite a lot of meat in it. But the puds look good too. When you're in London, I'll treat you to a Wahaca lunch!

2010-07-07T17:57:34.258+01:00

I like the flavours of Mexican food and I live Tommi Miers, she is such an infectious character. I remember watching her on the very first masterchef and winning. Delighted that she has followed her love of Mexican food and shared it with a wider audience. This is one book I keep meaning to buy, but have not got round to. You've reminded me Fran. Envious that you call Wahaca one of your lunch haunts.

Mexican food deserves a much big audience and it is great to see we are getting more good Mexican restaurants. I have the Tommi Miers book and you've inspired me to go home and cook refried beans!!

So, So Jealous. I'm yet to get to The Sportsman...and your post makes me want to go even more Fran! All of the food looks bloody delicious.

The Essex Food Show was fab and in a lovely location. Thanks for dragging me there Fran. And for the asparagustastic lunch and yummy cheesecake. Mouse was divine too. (BTW, note to readers - I don't look anything like the deranged and possibly dangerous eccentric in the photo.)

It was a splendid day. Thanks for the evocative write-up Fran. It's made me feel very peckish.

I was around there yesterday and checked: definitely in Baldwin's, not YH. No idea then where else it was I saw it!

Oooo - thank you Vanessa! Will give Baldwin's and Yasar Halim a try. Know and love them both but never sourced cheese from them.

2010-05-17T14:21:10.806+01:00

A tip: you can get that Cretan cheese at Baldwin's on Green Lanes. I've also seen it somewhere else but can't remember which shop - perhaps Yasar Halim?

2010-05-11T11:13:21.425+01:00

Kavey - you were spot on. And dead right about it being the year of rapeseed oil!
Mango - it was a good event, despite my tiredness and the subdued mood. Off to the Essex Food Fair at the weekend, so hoping for cheerier times!

2010-05-10T17:26:16.827+01:00

i am so glad that i am able to read about RFF on your blog as I will not be there, but it sounds like it was a bit of a sombre affair. When I went to the Scottish Highland Show here last year, it was very much the same too. One thing that put me off was it was dominated by a lot of the supermarkets.

Still I am liking your finds, esp the taste of the rapeseed oil - nutty you say. Sounds good to me.

2010-05-10T17:20:07.631+01:00

I said same in my post, a much more subdued event than last year! :)

oooh - they're lovely! Got some from Marylebone FM a few weeks back.

I had no idea Tracklments had been around so long!

I went to the RFF yesterday - it did seem to lack buzz but I still managed to come away with a fair haul - my fave being the oak-roasted tomatoes from the Tomato Stall from Isle of Wight.

That is fantastic, what a wonderful company. Nasty for someone to pinch it though...
