When it comes to the Foie Burger, obviously the ToL judges saw something different to me so you may well want to gamble £9.00 for yourselves. I wouldn’t recommend it though. I know Comptoir Gascon can do, and normally does do, far, far better food than this.
WeightWatchers Cook Smart Vegetarian
WeightWatchers Cook Smart Vegetarian is a decent vegetarian cookery book, but it is let down by some outdated recipes and dodgy editing.
John Gregory-Smith’s Mighty Spice Feature
Spice chef John Gregory-Smith talks to us about Mighty Spice, a straightforward, easy-to-follow cook book with recipes that require spices that most of us will already have in our cupboards, or that will at least be stocked at the corner shop.

Caravaggio, Leadenhall Street, London. Italian cuisine in the city of london.
There are a fair number of city restaurants that now occupy spaces previously created for financial institutions; Caravaggio in Leadenhall Street is one of them. The food was very good, though on the generous side. We had a great evening there.

The London Fine Meat Company deliver. Excellent quality meats delivered to your door.
The London Fine Meat Company was established in late 2009. Stuart Ferretti, who owns the company, has a long history in the meat industry and his initial intention in setting it up was to supply the restaurant trade in and around London with quality meats. Earlier this year Stuart took the step of supplying to the public direct and having heard about this I decided to give his service a road test.

The Three Stags, Kennington Road, London
Sitting on the corner of the crossroads with the Imperial War Museum opposite, The Three Stags could best be described as a prime example of an old London pub.
