While we were there we had some amazing restaurant experiences. The best meal we had was at a restaurant called Patente et Machin, which is a pretty unassuming restaurant with a chalkboard menu. By American standards, it would have been a cute sandwich shop or cafe, not somewhere where you would be able to order veal sweetbreads and fois gras mousse! We ate at two restaurants like this, where the daily menu was written on a chalkboard and the server explained all the meals to you when they came to your table....

Hope you guys are enjoying summer? We have finally had some glorious weather here in Bristol, so I have cleared my schedule so that I can sink into my hammock, podcast in my ears, and top up my vitamin D with abandon.

September is slowly coming to an end, although you would not have guessed it stepping outside as it’s supremely hot this week!

When I used to live in the UK, I never had time to make my own hot cross buns. I used to rely on the ones that you used to get in a packet of six at the supermarket which were overly sweet and tasted of stale flour and preservatives. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that a bread product that keeps for at least a week isn’t going to be particularly delicious to eat, and it put me off hot cross buns in general....
Today, my friends, I have a delicious vegan lasagna for you. Paired with a beautiful green salad of assorted leaves, spring onions, cucumber, capers and lemon vinaigrette dressing, it makes for a delightful and indulgent main course. One that not even an omnivore would turn her or his nose up at. While a tray this size should certainly serve 8 people, Duncan and I managed to polish off half of it in one sitting....
Happy Friday! Hope your week has been peachy and that you have something to look forward to planned for this weekend? We’ve had a fairly uneventful week of working, mild exercise, meditation and baking brownies. Lots of brownies actually. Leading up to today my house has become brownie central. It’s a good thing if you have bags of self-control, but not so good if you are a sweet toothed emotional eater 2 months into being locked in your four walls....

Happy weekend, guys! Hope you’ve got some fun planned for the next two days?

He used do it in his early 20s in Australia and he has recently decided to return to it. After a short refresher course two weeks ago, this weekend he is honing his skills further under the watchful eye of an instructor....
We’ve lucked out with the weather this week. It’s really really hot and sunny so I am temporarily in my Greek summer mode – slumped in the shade with my notebook brainstorming future recipe ideas, living on nothing but salads and fruit and fighting the afternoon slump with prolific amount of ice cold caffeine – my drug of choice 😉 . Espresso freddo – cold Greek coffee that we fell in love with when living on Paros – is something we cannot live without....
