Firstly, my apologies for not having posted a recipe for a while. I have just moved house, and until recently my kitchen has born more resemblance to a wardrobe than a place for cooking. But I've finally managed to sort myself out, so I thought I'd share a favourite recipe of mine: vegetable risotto. The beauty of this dish is that you can completely adapt it to your liking (or to whatever vegetables you have lying around in the fridge). It does take a little bit of time to cook, but I think it's totally worth it.
I love Christmas. It's as simple as that. Mince pies, carols, sparkly trees - what more could anyone want?!
Well, one integral aspect of the celebrations in my household is Christmas cake. And I know lots of people say they don't like it (too dense, too fruity, too whatever else) but it really does capture the essence of Christmas, so I thought I'd share my version with you. It''s originally a Nigella recipe, but I've made quite a lot of changes, creating what I think is the perfect Christmas cake. Hope you like it too!
At the weekend I lunched at Inamo on Wardour Street which offers ‘Oriental fusion cuisine’. Inamo is very futuristic, each table has a projector overhead
and diners can use a touch screen to order food, play games and even change the
tablecloth! I thought that these gimmicks would detract from the
food, however the food was delicious and I’d love to return.

The day after Halloween I took a friend to one of my favourite pubs. The Lighthouse has always had an artistic feel to it but this time the people in charge of the decor had surpassed themselves. Every little detail from the ghostly portraits with moving images on the walls to the pumpkin on the haunted piano screamed for attention and made our afternoon tea feel like a mini Halloween party.
