Recipe: Caramel Apple Buttermilk Pancakes for Shrove Tuesday from Friends, Food, Family

February 17, 2015 LLG Food

I am very pleased with this recipe from my cookbook Friends, Food, Family: Recipes and Secrets from LibertyLondonGirl. These American-style pancakes are super soft and fluffy – I described them on Twitter as mattresses for hamsters and, best of all, they take less than five minutes to prepare and not much longer to cook. We never […]

Travel: Phuket Old Town, Thailand

January 8, 2015 LLG Food

I’m skipping a few days, and will return to them, but the internet here on Koh Yao Noi is intermittently lightning fast and powered-by-a-hamster-in-a-wheel slow, so my photos won’t upload. When deciding where to spend the next week after luxe-ing it up on Phuket, we had realised that jumping on and off small boats in […]

Travel: Hanging out at Sri Panwa, Phuket with Rachel

January 7, 2015 LLG Food

(The highly acceptable breakfast at Sri Panwa.) I’d be lying if I said we did much at Sri Panwa, beyond lolling in the pool villa. When your hotel room house is so heavenly it does rather reduce the desire to do anything AT ALL.

At Home with LibertyLondonGirl for House & Garden magazine

December 29, 2014 Friends Food Family

I cooked a brunch menu, using recipes from the book, and we all sat down to eat together afterwards. It was part of their Breakfast […]

Recipe: A Mexican Pizza (sort of). By way of Highbury and Camden.

September 8, 2014 LLG Food

Given how much time I spend in the kitchen, there is little that I like more than eating out in someone else’s house. And when that house is the home of my dear friend Miss P, I am practically kicking up my heels with anticipatory glee. She is a phenomenally good cook, the best that […]

Supper for my girlfriends: Peach & Buffalo Mozzarella Salad, Kohlrabi Remoulade and more…

August 20, 2014 LLG Food

I invited seven girlfriends round for supper the night before we departed for Wilderness, and I realised at 6pm that I hadn’t given a moment’s thought to the menu for the evening. Thankfully I have London’s best greengrocer on my street, so I whipped downstairs and into Parkway Greens with a huge shopping basket, to scoop up […]

A weekend in London from Fischer’s to Lemonia

July 14, 2014 LLG Food

After last week’s dashing about from pillar to post, I dedicated this weekend to seeing friends and family, exercise and beating my flat into submission. I had a lovely long lie-in on Saturday, before waking with a jolt at 0930hrs, casually glancing at my phone and realising with horror that I had booked myself into […]
