Now, I won’t actually be making this tonight but maybe next year will do it in a kind of retro way, perhaps even as a week of decade-themed menus. But this, to me, is the ultimate Noughties menu, preferably served in an organic Gastropub. Perhaps The Duke of Cambridge in Islington? Surely the most Noughties [...]

A little late in the planning but fun nonetheless, I’m finally doing a third party. It’s tonight and a kind of post-Christmas-pre-New-Years do for everyone who is back in London and local. It has to be a buffet as it’s that time of year and my table won’t cater for more than 6 sitting properly! [...] I’ve been a little slack with uploading and suddenly week 2 has already come round. So, the feijoada recipe will go up tomorrow while I’m editing the pics from tonight’s second dinner @ doyle’s – ‘A Mediterranean Autumn’. Basically this gives me more freedom with dishes compared to last week’s carioca-fest. Oh, and it’s all [...] This is the classic Brazilian summer cocktail, best served from a hut on Copacabana beach surrounded by sunshine and muscled boys in sungas – the Brazilian speedo.

There were a few minor disasters along the way, but the first Dinner @ Doyle’s turned out to be a really fun night, helped along with some very strong caipirinhas. Some of the recipes I planned worked brilliantly, others less so. And one I had to [...] Rio! In honour of Rio winning the 2016 Olympics, and because I haven’t cooked feijoada in a while, I’ve decided the first Dinner @ Doyle’s will have a Brazilian flavour. Also, it’s going to be a wheat-free night as my good friend and colleague Celia (the celiac) is coming. So far I know there will [...] Well, that’s the idea anyway. I invite a group of friends, friends-of-friends, and some random So-and-So’s round my place on Tuesday and cook them a three course dinner. And I’ll take pictures. And then share them with you! I’m hoping it will be fun. You see, I cook a lot. And I really enjoy experimenting [...] |
