Lemon Curd

Curd – it must be the unsexiest word in the food dictionary. Can you come up with any others? Before I came to the UK I must admit I never came across lemon curd before. The name surely didn’t do it any justice. The first thing I thought of was bean curd, in other words [...]

Mango Tree

After my memorable meal at Awana, I discovered that the proprietor owned another restaurant in London, called Mango Tree, which I couldn’t wait to review. Interestingly, in a conversation with my father he disclosed that they also ate at a restaurant with the same name in Thailand and it was one of the best meals of [...]

Can you remember the last memorable meal you had? I mean, so memorable, but you will remember it for the rest of your life and you will forever have fond memories of it… It doesn’t happen very often to me but sometimes a particular dish leaves such a deep impression with me that I can’t ever [...]

Pork Fillet with Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce

What is your favourite cut of pork? Obviously, mine is bacon, gammon and smoked ribs but when it comes to unadulterated pork it is just the fillet I like. Other cuts’ flavour I find very “porky” in taste or the meat simply becomes as tough as old boots. Pork fillet is lean and if cooked perfectly [...]

Sticky Lemon & Honey Chicken Drumsticks

These chicken pieces taste as good as they look. Gordon Ramsay came up with this excellent recipe. The only thing I don’t agree with is using a whole, jointed chicken. The problem? The chicken portions have different degrees of thickness, i.e. different cooking times, which can cause some pieces to dry out and the others to [...]

Lamb Shanks Braised in Red Wine

Michelle — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:38:44 +0000

For me shank is the best cut of the lamb. When cooked correctly it is meaty, fall-off-the-bone tender who can possibly resist? On numerous occasions I have seen braised lamb shanks being sold as ready-made meals and all I can do is shake my head in disbelief. The shanks themselves are small, served with soggy “roasted” [...]

Gilberts Bakery’s Special Diets Bread Range

Michelle — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 23:56:40 +0000

For almost ten years I have lived mostly on a wheat-free and lactose-free diet. In this period I have tried my fair share of alternative products but have been unimpressed most of the time. Since this product is about bread, I won’t discuss lactose-free products. If you are wheat intolerant, you can thank your lucky stars [...]
