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.

The heat-wave is back, muggy and unpleasant, too hot and sweaty to sit in, so we’re all craving water to dip our feet into. My next door neighbours bought the deepest, biggest garden blow-up pool I’ve ever seen early in lock down and their children and friends jump in and out of it all day…

What I miss most about lockdown is my regular chaotic way of food shopping that inspires my cooking. It might be a wander round my local Farmers Market, gazing into the butcher or fishmonger’s window, or bargains at my favourite high road fruit and veg stall. When I am stuck for cookery inspiration, food shopping…

Llanveynoe Lockdown Part 2: 29 March-20 April

When we left pre-lockdown London on 19 March for the Black Mountains to stay with my son Henry, I had no idea how long we might stay. I hadn’t really thought very far ahead. Quite quickly The B and I slotted into a very attractive but quite alien working lifestyle. There was no reason to…

Llanveynoe Lockdown Part 1: 19-28 March

My lockdown life started tentatively in early March but in earnest about a week before the official announcement. My artist son Henry who spends his time between his London studio and what he considers his real home in the Black Mountains, Herefordshire (let out regularly to cover its upkeep) was pivotal. He was at Charity…

This was written before Coronavirus took over our lives and I’ve been hanging on to it wondering whether to post it and whether to stop writing my Week in Food. It’s actually 27 March today and for the first time since our lives were turned upside down – around the time this Week in Food…

1 March 20

Sun This morning I am the breakfast queen, cooking bagels with bacon and poached egg for one little grandson and preparing cornflakes with yoghurt and Greek honey swirl (in a second dish) for second grandson, who then wanted honey on toasted bagel. Next the dog got his bowlful then The B and I had the…

A week of meeting Ian Hislop in the car park at Twickenham, watching Kit&McConel at Crazy Coqs and The Hobbit on Netflix, it’s been quite a week. The food was good too: rediscovering Haddock Monte Carlo, a Savoy classic, making an impromptu fish cake supper out of a jar of tuna and the joy of…

16 Feb 20

My week begins with a serious treat. Late lunch at the River Café followed by an inspired cooking week that kicks off with my version of Poulet Antiboise, an Elizabeth David favourite from A Book of Mediterranean Food. The chicken and sweet onion leftovers lived again in a gratineed potato pie with radicchio Treviso, the…

9 Feb 20

A Home Alone week and I seem to have lost my appetite. Or, to be a bit closer to the truth, reverted to eating like someone who doesn’t live for food, so things on toast, jacket potatoes with grated cheese and poached eggs and bangers and mash. Storm Keira is raging, the wind whipping round…

2 Feb 20

We’re halfway through a few days staying in a brilliantly converted little cottage tucked away down a private road with views across inland waterways that lie parallel to the long, windy beach at West Wittering. It’s cold but the days start off bright, turning very, very cold, rainy and blustery by afternoon. Comfort food is…
