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
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
We seem to collect jars. We can’t help it. We know we should just chuck it in a recycling bag and call it a day. But we just can’t let go of really sturdy jars. On a good week, the jars are all preoccupied. They hold our almond butters, our leftover sweet miso, our jams, … Continue reading
September is takeaway weather. Yes, we know, you’re suppose to cook everything from scratch. If you don’t, you’re wasting your money and you’re eating your way to imminent obesity. But honestly, sometimes you want a bit of a treat. Something different, something you wouldn’t ordinarily cook for yourself. Like beautiful Iranian food with their beautiful … 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.

The owner was a very smiley and extremely chatty Japanese man who always used to try to engage us (extremely quiet children) in conversation. He was also the one who first taught us how to … Continue reading
Being foodies, you can safely assume that we read a lot of blogs, have a lot of recipe books and tear out many pages out of food magazines. All in an effort to find out how the rest of the world is eating, putting together flavours and making use of seasonal ingredients. (And in the … Continue reading
There was a time – not too long ago – when we did not like salads. At all. The Salad seemed to represent self-denial and bland rabbit food. We just could not understand why someone would willingly choose one as a main meal. Now – it’s a different story because we’ve realised a salad, could … Continue reading
We truly believe that there’s nothing that can’t be improved with mozzarella. Even mozzarella. When in doubt, add (more) mozzarella. Fresh and uncooked with chopped tomatoes, on pizza, even on plantains, it’s absolutely gorgeous. So you know Melanzane alla Parmigiana, you’ve seen our Plaintain alla Parmigiana and now have a look at our equally yummy … Continue reading
So we have this annoying habit. (And we have a feeling you may do too). We love food. We love interesting ingredients. We love the possibilities that a special ingredient brings. We scour food markets, supermarkets and food halls for good quality food that will help us transform our cooking and think creatively. But we … Continue reading
