Performance art and food bloggers, two things that make me reach for my gun. Luckily they will be in the same place this Saturday 15th January in Brixton. Should save me some ammo eh? . In all seriousness Brixton could do with a lift and if this turns out to be more than transitory trendiness it will be a ‘good thing’

Stunning set lunch at Cinnamon Kitchen, London
£18 for three courses and £15 for two set is the set lunch deal now on at Cinnamon Kitchen, a place I always look forward to visiting and which never lets me down. As I’ve said before, it’s remarkable to think that Brick Lane is just a few hundred yards away and yet the class of cooking couldn’t be further apart. We tried the lunch and it’s as good as it gets. No, it’s better!
Fruit Pastes, an alternative accompaniment to cheese
The concept of mixing sweet with savoury is, of course not a new one and many of us have adorned our cheese boards with voluptuous bunches of juicy grapes to pluck and nibble along with those tangy, cheeses at the end of our dinner parties. Now you have the opportunity to introduce something rather different to your cheese boards in the future.

It has taken me a long time to finally dine at Bumpkin, having made countless bookings in the past and had to cancel them for one reason or another. Having made it here at long last, it was perfect for a pit-stop for a comfort meal on a Winter’s day.
PizzaExpress go light and lovely
Pizza Express are jumping on the New Year guilt train, now calling at all stops until Easter. Their new Leggera pizzas are made as normal and then the centre dough is taken out and replaced with salad. This makes them around 500 calories each and with less than 5g saturated fat. Nice
Mooli’s, London
Great wraps, honest and healthy and fresh. Could be served hotter both in cooking and spice terms, but then to be fair it was actually snowing outside when we ate them. The décor is a bit like a suburban health centre, cold and rather heartless, but then most people will be in and out before they notice that. Probably easier for the young team to clean, too.
Two courses for £10 at The Restaurant at St Paul’s
