Comptoir Libanais in South Kensington, London
As a prospecting restaurateur driving expansion through an economic downturn it must feel like pennies from heaven to see the fourth incarnation of your Lebanese canteen packed to the gills on a cold Wednesday night in January.

Ken Hom 100 Easy Suppers
Once you get the Chinese bug from this book it’s hard to stop. You’ll find yourself using it every night. It’s not often a cookbook is this good, this simple and this well produced for the money and it knocks many a posher production into a cocked hat. Well done our Ken and well done My Kitchen Table.

The finest Scottish food
Summer Isles were just one of around ten Scottish producers who had lugged their lovely grub from the Highlands all the way down to the lowlands of the RAC Club in Pall Mall. The intention was to show first hand what we miss out on when we fix our foodie gaze on Ludlow or the continent. The Scottish Highlands are a land rich in fine produce, none of which need to consume air miles to get to our plates.
The Grand Imperial
The Grand Imperial has recently won two rosettes and was finalist in Tsingtao Legacy of Taste awards for Best UK Chinese restaurant, so I knew the food was likely to be excellent. What I hadn’t expected was the sheer opulence of the place and the hushed atmosphere that hit me like a blast of cold air after the frenetic activity of the station.
Coconut and Saffron Tapioca pudding with fried Bananas and Almonds
This recipe allows for an unusual taste experience for children and a great way to introduce these through a dessert using tapioca which in it’s inherently bland and simple taste, allows you to infuse some exotic flavours. Kids enjoy mixing the saffron and then decorating with fried bananas and almonds – The addition of coconut milk marries well with these and adds natural sweetness, hence lessening the use of much refined sugar.
