National Portrait Gallery Portrait Restaurant Leporello
A great view, good food, history old and new – and some intriguing facts: it’s London summed up. It’s The Portrait Perspective and it’s available as a leporello, a concertina pull out booklet that opens to reveal a metre-long panorama of the view from the Portrait Restaurant at the top of the National Portrait Gallery. Linking portraits in the gallery with buildings seen from the Portrait Restaurant, it’s ideal for poring over as you pour out a cup of coffee before exploring the gallery.
Simple French Cooking for English Homes (Classic Voices in Food)
Anecdotes and advice fill the book, as does Boulestin’s engaging personality. Pretention free and a good read into the bargain, Boulestin’s lovely little book deserves to be discovered by home chefs and budding recipe writers alike
Hop and Spice
It’s not often you get to eat dinner in the same spot you once had your tyres changed. As Balham has gentrified, the old shops have gradually disappeared to be replaced by bars and cafes all catering to the monied young overspill from Clapham. There’s even a Waitrose now, a poor replacement in my view for the old open air market now a shadow of its former self.
Lonely Planet’s Street Food Festival
A clear blue sky, shirt sleeves and a well-poured pint of Dorset Nectar are hardly conducive to the Great Indoors.

It’s not Kazakhstan’s fault that it’s become rather linked to Borat; it’s just that it […]
Inaugural Macaron Day at Pierre Hermes London
Macarons? Really? You sure? Been there, done that, had the sugar rush. Yet, judging by the chattering classes clamouring for the candy-coloured confections, it seems the appetite for the whimsical, bijou mouthfuls remains unsated. And, when they’re so deceptively insubstantial, how could it be?
Easter at Harrod’s
Hand made in either milk or white chocolate and exploding with nuts or freeze-dried berries, these beauties are like the Ferarri of Easter fun. If you’re looking to impress someone this year, or just sick of keeping the purse strings tight, this is the perfect way to go all out for Easter this year.
Easter range at Carluccio’s
The gargantuan glass jar of mini eggs is emptying worryingly rapidly. Conveniently situated in the prime real estate just to the left of my keyboard, as an estate agent would have it, the tiny foil-wrapped ovoids are tantalisingly close- and the perfect reward for finishing an article. A paragraph. A line. Oh, let’s be frank: a word.
Spring is in the air at Fifteen Cornwall
