Category: My Week In Food

My Week in Food is a diary of my food shopping, cooking and eating out. I mention favourite websites, food shops, restaurants and food and drink related people and sometimes give related recipes. Most often, though, the recipe comes in a note form rather than a formulated recipe although there is always enough detail to get you cooking. Actual recipes are in the Recipes section of the website.

My Week in Food started Sunday 23 June 2019 and despite the occasional omission, usually caused by my useless grasp of WordPress, I’ve kept it up every week, although I have been late posting. Some weeks are more interesting than others but there is always something worth reading about and it’s a backlog worth dipping in and out of, often with mini-essays on various aspects of food.

A Spanish Retreat

The word retreat can mean stepping back and that’s what three girlfriends and I did a few weeks ago. Our retreat was a well-hidden villa, tucked away up and around a few narrow roads outside the seaside resort of Altea, an hour down the coast from Alicante airport. Our hire car was perfect for our…

20 June 21

The weather is all over the place at the moment, one day I’ve made cooling Vichysoisse and the next it’s been cockle-warming Roasted Red Pepper and Shallot Soup. Highlight of the week, though, was the arrival of a big bag of Cornish Earlies (@seasonal_spuds), Cornwall’s lesser-known rival to Jersey Royals. Unbelievably, it is exactly 2…

13 June 21

If I’m lucky, I write My Week in Food a week after it’s happened. I aim to be writing it on Monday or Tuesday but that doesn’t always work out for all manner of reasons. 13 June was a week of record weather, so hot to be very distracting but as I write, the mugginess…

6 June 2021

It’s 6.30am, the sun is beaming down, the tomato plants have grown several inches overnight, the heatwave seems entrenched. We love it. Living outside is heaven. The bbq is fired, salads are made, cooking is quick and easy with emphasis on fish. Read on. Sun The B is working, up and out of the house…

23 May 21

As I write, we are enjoying a much-needed burst of summer sun but during the week of 23 May, spring was not in the air. In fact it was freezing. My recipes, though, suit rain and shine, cold and warm weather alike. Sun It’s 10.30 and raining cats and dogs and we’re just about to…

16 May 21

At last, a major slackening of Lock Down begins tomorrow. We are allowed to drink and eat inside pubs and restaurants. I’m not going anywhere thanks to The Fall. Instead I’m cooking up a storm; Slipper Moussaka with Creamed Feta, Chicken Escalopes with Guacomole, Roast Cod with Prosciutto and more. S My grandsons arrive at…

9 May 21

Disastrous week for me but delicious food for you; old-fashioned kedgeree made with a thick fillet of smoked haddock, tarragon chicken gratin with lemon and aubergine tagine with fluffy cous cous. Sun Back from our long weekend away just outside Chippenham in Wiltshire, setting off after another delicious breakfast of newly laid eggs, arriving home…

2 May 21

The May Day weekend brings a celebration of potato salads and a Wiltshire weekend away. S What a treat to be invited to a lunch party, sitting under dappled light from a blossom-laden apple tree, surrounded by banks of snowdrops, tall exotic greenery and blossom, the rain holding off and the sun just giving just…

25 April 21

Spring is in the air but with a sharp nip and blustery rain so it’s hard to know what to eat. It’s asparagus, more asparagus, a cheat’s take on Rowley Leigh’s fabulous scallop and pea puree Kensington Place signature dish and a super-simple roast carrot soup. Sun The Chelsea Arts Club has always been very…

18 April 21

Sun, sea, crab and more crab. A blissful week in Mousehole, Cornwall thanking our lucky stars to be away from the stresses and strains of London (not to mention the hideous and dangerous traffic jams in Chiswick caused by the empty new road carve-up). Sun Oh what a joy to wake up to sunlight streaming…
