British Cheese Week runs from until the 4th October and what better way to mark this than enjoy some lovely cheesy meals!
Beef and smoked paprika casserole with rooster potatoes
A tasty, warming dish for a chilly day.
Devilled, Roast Potato Wedges
Created by Michel Roux jnr. these are simple to make and would be a tasty treat on their own, or to accompany other dishes.
Potato souffle with cheese and chives

Iberica Expressions – 16 pounds for a luxury tapas lunch
We try Iberica’s Expressions menu at £16 – a mini “desgustacion” menu of pinchos that is served only between 12-3 pm Monday-Saturday, highlights this restaurant’s cutting edge approach to tapas Served at the bar, it’s made up of eight hot and cold pinchos smartly presented on a piece of slate within 10-15 minutes of being ordered. The menu is served with a glass of ice cold Tio Pepe – nice.
Quirinale London
White linen, pink roses, scent of lilies, a light, spring-like interior, cream banquettes and tawny fawn furnishings within an understated exterior. And the service is unobtrusive and discreet, perfect for MPs with private lives and open wallets.
Brasserie St Jacques
The intention is there and the cooking by co-owner Laurence Glayzer, who has a fine pedigree of French cooking in top places, is assured. I spotted sous chefs from other London French restaurants by the door enjoying a late evening snack and I think that should tell you all you need to know about Brasserie St Jacques.
