LLG Food. Recipe Friday: Super Bowl avocado & bean layer dip

February 2, 2012 LLG Food

I first ran this recipe exactly two years ago, during a very very cold snap, when I was practically snowed-in, in the English countryside, with my mother. I was feeling homesick for America, and knew all my friends across the Atlantic were gearing up for an evening of chips, dips and football. Yup, it was […]

LLG London: Parliament Hill Farmer’s Market

January 28, 2012 LLG Food

The whole London Farmers Market thing has pretty much passed me by. Before I moved to America I remember there being one by Camden Passage in Islington at weekends, but I had no idea that there was now such a proliferation in London.  (I’ve always meant to try the Swiss Cottage one on Weds, but […]

Recipe Friday: Jerusalem Artichoke (Sunchoke) Soup with Fried Chestnut Mushrooms

January 27, 2012 LLG Food

I adore Jersusalem artichokes but I may as well be up front. They aren’t known as fartichokes for nothing. Do not serve these to anyone on a first date, unless you really want to make an impression. That being said my family know no shame, so they’ve always been popular chez Wilkins.

LLG Travels: Terrasse des Epices, Marrakech

December 31, 2011 LLG Food

Worn out by poking around tiny hole in the wall shops in the souk and its environs for thuya wood letter racks, soft leather slippers, yet more passementerie and pretty gold etched tea glasses, we headed to Terrasse des Epices today for lunch. I knew little of it, other than it was in the H2G […]

LLG Gadgets: Nespresso & Aerocinno coffee machines

Thumbnail image for LLG Gadgets: Nespresso & Aerocinno coffee machines December 31, 2011 Gadgets

Granted, this may not be the best froth-topped cappuccino you’ve ever seen, but considering it’s the first one I’ve ever made, I’m pretty damn chipper about the whole damn thing. I spent a long time deciding which coffee machine to buy my mother for Christmas. We’ve been through quite a few chez Wilkins over the […]

LLG Cooks: Nutella & Roasted Hazelnut Palmiers

December 26, 2011 LLG Food

I took a great deal of pleasure in baking boxes and boxes full of cakes, muffins, biscuits, fudge and other sweets to deliver as thank you Christmas presents to the people who been so supportive of LLG over the past year. Amongst them were these Nutella & Roasted Hazelnut Palmiers which are a doddle to […]

LLG Food: Christmas Day Lunch

December 25, 2011 LLG Food

This year was all about roast goose, which cooked in half the time the guide said, and even had an extra crispy skin, thanks to a slight turning-the-grill-on-by-accident episode. We were just four for lunch: Muv, lil’sis & one of my best friends Chloe, whose holiday leave wasn’t enough to allow her to get home […]

LLG Cooks: Cauliflower Purée for Christmas Day Lunch

December 23, 2011 LLG Food

I first published this recipe  for cauliflower purée back at Easter 2010. To my utter surprise, it has become not only the most popular recipe in my archive, but has remained in the top three search terms to the blog in 2011.  I was thinking of it this morning, as it is currently the number […]

LLG Cooks. Recipe Friday: Avocado on Toast

December 22, 2011 LLG Food

My thoughts are already leaping past Christmas Day’s inevitable over-indulgence at the lunch table and onto Boxing Day (the 26th is a public holiday in the UK, once known as the day where servants were given their Christmas ‘box’ by grateful employers). However strong my resolutions, I always eat too much on the 25th. There […]

LLG Cooks: Easy Mushroom Soup

December 19, 2011 LLG Food

Oh this is so so so so easy that even if you burn toast, I defy you to screw this up. I knocked this up for lunch for me & Katie in 15 minutes. And what’s more it’s completely, utterly gloriously delicious. AND — it tastes just as good, maybe even better if you use […]
