Chipotle Chicken Pitas with Chunky Guacamole
Chipotle [Chee-pot-lay] are smoked chillies that have the most wonderful smoky flavour which when used in marinades for meat and poultry and Mole sauces, impart a deep earthiness into the dish that is incredibly comforting. I always keep a jar of Chipotle paste in the cupboards, because convenience is the name of the game sometimes and it is perfectly ok to get a little help to prepare a good meal and my Chipotle chicken pitas are a great meal.

La Stazione is a good local eatery, while there we noticed a number of tables occupied by tourists, like us, but it seemed clear that there were a good number of local customers, it is a popular place and rightly so.
Dorset – the place to find The Stable diet…
A recent addition to the Dorset food scene is The Stable, heralded as ‘a new concept in eating’ which aims to draw on some of the best of Dorset’s local produce in their fayre. Part of Bridport’s Bull Hotel. The Stable claims to be a family-friendly environment with plenty of space for the kids and a menu that is likely to appeal to them. This looks like a venue that will take off.
The Bank, Adamo Hotel, Stirling
The Adamo Hotel in Stirling is an imposing building, having been converted from its previous incarnation as a bank, it seems quite natural that they should give that name to their restaurant, which occupies much its ground floor space, together with a bar and lounge area. The Bank is a relaxed haven serving good food and is certainly a place to visit.
Bistro Bruno Loubet, London
I wasn’t in town the first time round when Loubet was doing his thing at Bistro Bruno and L’Odeon, but I’ll certainly join in with the ‘welcome back’ chorus. Just as long as the chef keeps busting out dishes like the Mauricette snails…
