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 114
We had some business in a part of town that I had vague memory of a sign advertising ‘nduja; it was during my first year in the UK when we discovered a stall in Borough Market. The ploy worked: the samples became a purchase and we enjoyed the spreadable spicy pork on artisanal bread. So […]
Lunch Log: Week 113
A better organised week since some of the items were cooked in large batches on the Sunday. Given into a random inclination, Yvan went off to cook his interpretation of a potato dauphinoise; it did not help as a similar dish I’ve encountered in the past had cheese and bacon. As we had picked up […]
Lunch Log: Week 112
It’s a bit of a trudge at work; a co-worker pointed out that it’s another Friday the 13th and we’re still suffering the same curse from last month’s. Though the week started off well given epic curry making had resulted in some leftovers, there wasn’t much inspiration in food produce terms. In the meantime I […]
Lunch Log: Week 111
Brr, it’s been an unusual week – spring is definitely starting to show but the temperatures started off cooler than expected. The fruit & veg shop is eager for a flush of fresh local produce (“gah, some rhubarb please!”) but it seemed like if there were any groundhogs here it would of turned back around […]
Lunch Log: Week 110
Another London interruption (at least this was work related)! Work schedules have been thrown out from people taking leave and this work trade show being so close together, hopefully this won’t impact next month when things appear stable (for now at least). The stir fry on Sunday alongside coconut jasmine rice provided a refreshing change; […]
Lunch Log: Week 109
This week is a little more random as usual – no doubt strongly influenced by a short London “adventure” (hint: yes, beer was involved). Due to the growing distance that I find myself living away from ‘the big city’ these visits are becoming more rare, but the pushy crowds droning on and that familiar (awful) […]
Lunch Log: Week 108
This week I’ve considered adding potatoes to the ‘long lasting veg’ list – preboiling a large batch at the start of the week they can transform into mash or salad more quickly. After the delights of the slow cooked pork belly came to an end during the previous week, the comedown to mince was easy […]
Lunch Log: Week 107
Ok, let’s try this again. Redundancy is not generally the approach to optimise speed; I can’t wait to be able to sync things better (and securely). But, c’est la vie.. Early on into doing this ‘logging’ thing I wanted to publish a weekly summary for individual entries – but instead I’ll alter that strategy and […]
