Having recently attended Taste of London we went to a water and wine harmonisation session with specialist Andeas Larsson and here is what we found.
Riverford Travelling Field Kitchen in a yurt
If you thought Yurt was a noise kids made when confronted with broccoli, then you’ll be surprised to discover the truth. Anita Pati eats a fabulous dinner in Riverford Farm’s marvellous traveling tent of eco-gastronomy.
The price is right for Tilda’s prince of rice
If we’re prepared to pay a bit extra for cave aged Comté or slow matured salt marsh lamb to get the best of the best, why shouldn’t we do the same for pure grain basmati rice?
Riddle and Finns, Brighton
I was worried from its name, look and location that Riddle and Finns would be a bit too cutesy, too in love with itself, but instead it was a friendly place with breezy staff and generally tidy cooking for a fair price. I can’t recommend the whelks though, I think mother is still gamely chewing hers three days later. Keep calm and carry on!
Pol Pol Roger
In celebration of appointing Pol Roger as their new house pour, Mayfair’s Bob Bob Ricard restaurant will be offering a complimentary flute of the wine with lunches throughout July.
Filippo Berio Olives – stone me, they’re not bad.
Well known as the daddy of olive oil, in fact they must sell more bottles of the stuff worldwide than anyone else, Filippo Berio also sell the actual olives too.
Celebrate Bastille Day with Chez Gérard restaurants across London
Bastille Day, 14th July, is perhaps the principal celebration in France each year. This year Chez Gérard’s Executive Chef Alain Bourbon has created an exclusive 5 course celebration menu for customers to enjoy at any of their ten Chez Gérard restaurants across London.
High Spirits at Angelus
We joined sixth generation Armagnac producer, Florence Castarède at Angelus restaurant to nose and sip four expressions of the real amber nectar…
The full Brazilian – José Baratino cooks at Skylon
Meat is not the only thing on the menu from Brazilian star chef Jose Barattino. As part of Festival Brazil on the Southbank, Jose has come over to inject Brazilian modern and traditional cooking onto the menu at Skylon. We meet him and have a taste of what’s on offer.
14 course menu at Cinnamon Kitchen
Vivek Singh and Cinnamon Kitchen head chef Abdul Yaseen have come up with a world’s first: a sit down dining experience consisting entirely of canapés. With Cinnamon Kitchen winning the Square Meal Canapé Cup in 2009, diners are in for a treat. This four-course, fourteen-canapé feast has even been paired with fizz to make it a deliciously decadent must-try.
