A Temarizushi Bento for a Quiet Celebration
For anyone paying attention: yes, I’ve not been keeping this blog up to date. As usual – when I bother to I’ll migrate the rather large volume of past entries eventually. It looks like the general consensus for 2016 has been rather grim – which I’ve also not escaped. Let’s just say I’m going to […]
Lunch Log: Week 116
It’s still considered early on in the year, but one thing has been absolutely unmissable to stock up on since we discovered it is wild garlic. If winter was the quiet boring time on the culinary calendar, once you hear on the grapevine that wild garlic is about then it confirms that the food cycle […]
Lunch Log: Week 115
Recipes nowadays seem far more accessible compared to the past, defined by the same line of those that have heard the sound of a dial-up modem in the same room from those that have had social media accounts before turning 10. If it wasn’t for this ease of accessibility I probably wouldn’t of developed my […]

Lunch Log: Week 82 Day 5
Because I felt like udon, I went a little overboard with the toppings: steamed beans, spring rolls, soft boiled egg, shredded crab stick, spring onions, simmered shiitake and garlic eggplant – The udon soup started off as a traditional vegetarian type but I couldn’t resist adding a home made chicken stock cube. Topped with nori […]
