There was an article on the Kitchn website about the way that food bloggers are often at polar opposites – they’re either coming up with super fatty, indulgent, massive junk food creations or they’re competitively “healthy” (are they really that healthy?) AKA who can eat the least amount of carbs. It seems right – there … Continue reading
This week we continued to try other people’s dishes – it’s a good way to try out different techniques and slightly different flavour combinations. And you can adapt their recipes to suit you, which is the fun part! The first recipe we tried came out of the Thug Kitchen cookbook – it caught our eye … Continue reading
This is our first post for 2.5 years. It’s been 2.5 years of promises to get back to it, losing inspiration, preferring to cook the things we always cook or not bothering about food (shocking I know!). The thing is, writing about your love of food is easy and wonderful when you aren’t stressed about … Continue reading
London is so trendy. A few years ago, it was all about Americana. In fact, we’re still kind of into Americana but when Eat is doing daily pulled pork, we know it’s now mainstream. So mainstream that Londoners need something else, something more obscure. So then we were onto Korean food (which we love!)…and then … Continue reading
Don’t you love September? Something happens to the light – it cools slightly from the golden sunshine to bluey light, the clouds become more prominent and there’s a sudden nip in the air. Perfect coat weather. And yes, you have to contend with the sudden rain and the wind, but that seems to spur us … Continue reading
We’re sorry. What you really want to read about is authentic jollof rice. You’ve tried it before at a West African festival, or at your friend’s mum’s house or even read about it online and what you really want to know is how to make it yourself. So did we…but being Indian, we couldn’t help … Continue reading
Do you ever feel like life is just whooshing by? May and June definitely whooshed by for us. Looking back, most of it was work, the gym and unwinding. One thing we’ve noticed is that the times when we’ve focused on fitness, we tend to get less creative in the kitchen. It might be because … Continue reading
Last week we were in New Orleans and it was wonderful. It has been a lifelong dream for us to visit this Southern (American) city that is known for the great Louis Armstrong, old-fashioned streetcars, Creole culture and Mardi Gras. New Orlean-ians really know how to “laissent les bon temps roule” (let the good times … Continue reading
Just like some of you we can’t resist a bargain. In fact, we come from a long line of people who can’t resist a bargain. It’s almost like a badge of honour to be able to buy something at a hugely decreased price, whilst the rest of the population (they clearly haven’t got our bargain … Continue reading
Wintertime is the time for fun little projects. Of course, throughout the year we do have lots of Life Admin to get through (we call it “And We Also Have To…”) which can be so draining. The moment you’ve washed all the towels, you realise you have to now wash all the bedclothes and then … Continue reading
