This morning Stephen made breakfast bread, to his mum’s recipe. He used to eat this at home in South Africa when he was small. It was delicous, fruity and cinammony and perfect eaten with butter. 1 cup wholewheat flour 1 cup digestive bran 3 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg […]
Read More..>>Fish Egg!
Well, an egg that’s shaped like a fish really. I bought this for Stephen from eBay, it’s a plastic mould that you squish a boiled egg into and leave to cool until it’s shaped like a fish. It’s from a Japanese seller who specialises in Bento box accessories, this is for a child’s lunchbox. Or […]

We’ve been eating lots of avocado lately. I’ve always liked it but at the moment I really like it. Not that I get obsessed about food stuffs and eat them until I can’t face eating them anymore or anything… 😉 Tonight, Stephen made a pre-dinner dip of mashed avocado with salt and pepper sprinkled with […]
Read More..>>Cobnuts
Stephen went to the Hammersmith Farmer’s Market on Thursday and came back with cobnuts! We were both really excited by this as we’d read a lot about them but never seen them before. They’re a bit like hazelnuts and grow mostly in Kent. I was worried they were destined for the same fate as the […]

Yesterday, we went to a friend’s barbecue. We’d been keeping our fingers crossed all week that the weather was going to co-operate and we were lucky, apart from a few spots of rain just as the food went on the grill, it stayed dry. Darren is famous for his guacamole, and he didn’t let us […]
Read More..>>La Perla
After we went to the market last night we had planned to go to Wahaca for dinner.  Stupidly, we didn’t book and as it’s only just opened it was busy. All was not lost though as we ended up just up the road at La Perla We had to wait a while for our table […]
Read More..>>Fantastic Four
Richard from Superfood has tagged us to answer the Fantastic Four meme. This posed a bit of a problem because there are two of us so, we decided we’d give two answers each per question. There were initially five questions which seemed at odds with the whole Four thing so we’ve left one out. Four […]
Read More..>>Covent Garden Night Market
Both Stephen and I were really excited to read about this and went along last night to check it out. There were of course the predictable hordes of people and tourists but this didn’t put us off, we both used to work there until very recently so were used to this. What was really disappointing […]
