If you love all things Mexican, then this month marks a string of events to enjoy
Warm the Insides with Maille Mustard
Mustard is mainly used as a condiment, something we put on the side of our plates, but what some of us don’t know is that it is also an ingredient. There are two varieties of Maille mustard Dijon and Wholegrain, stirring in just a couple of tea-spoonfuls of either, really adds piquancy and depth to casseroles, sauces and gravies alike. These recipes are just perfect for beating those winter chills, so embrace the forthcoming winter months and experiment with Maille mustard.
Harry Morgan’s
It’s a bit Jewish is Harry’s, not Kosher you understand, but the accent is there. Bit of an institution too; apparently it’s been here since 1948 but has since evolved into a New York Deli style place, somewhat dismaying its older customers but luring in the kind of people who want fast-food without added chav.
Classy – James Martin’s Executive Blender
The box is shiny black and James himself poses on the front, semi-lit and looking like one of the Bad James Bonds, George Lazenby perhaps. The question I keep asking myself is why would an Executive want a table blender anyway? Don’t they employ people to blend things for them?
Linda McCartney Foods launch a new range of dishes
A number of new Linda McCartney products have been introduced recently, these include: Thai Green Curry; Cottage Pie; Toad in the Hole and Farmhouse Pies. We decided to try these new products with some vegetarian friends….
Aquum Clapham. Going under?
The crowd does have that ‘I’m desperately looking for a footballer’ feel to it, and the guys, who you begin to think might just have spent as long getting ready as the girls, with fancy hair and pointy shoes, but that’s cool, Clapham needs a smart, semi-pretentious clubby bar.
Celebrating British game – a special tasting menu at Bingham Restaurant
The next date in the Bingham restaurant’s monthly programme of themed tasting menus will be Friday, October 30th, when head chef Shay Cooper will be preparing a menu celebrating the autumn favourite of game. The seven course meal, including specially matched wines, will be priced at £55
BYO wine Monday madness at Sam’s extended until the end of October!
Whether you dust off the vintage Rothschild or pop down the local off-license before your visit to Sam’s, they’ll be happy to welcome you with your own bottle of wine in hand.
Land of the Giants – Beer and a view in French Flandres
Lunch at the Auberge du Moulin de la Roome meant shuffling past a gang of heavily mustached workers having their midday feast like the Village People on a break. Food is a selection of meats and pates, all very good indeed, as it’s what they like to eat around here, washed down with, what else, but fine beer.
Ice Man- Francesco Mazzei at Cocorino
Cocorino’ is a story in two halves – gelateria and focacceria, each with their own doors. Brought to you by L’Anima restaurant’s dynamic chef,Francesco Mazzei , who worked in his family’s Calabrian gelateria and pastry shop aged eight, and Linda Yau, sister of his long-term mentor, Alan, the launch of the sweeter side of this rather cute Marylebone Village venture occurred last Wednesday. Lured by licking, Douglas Blyde went along to discuss cool-runnings with Mazzei.
