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

(My kitchen in London.) One of the most enjoyable interviews that I’ve done around the launch of my cookbook Friends, Food, Family was at my London apartment for House & Garden magazine. 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 […]

November 29, 2014 LLG Food

Today’s equipment and gadget list includes a knife of incredible sharpness, and two healthy eating gadgets that are a pleasure to use – and to clean, the Spiralizer, and a cold press juicer. There are several knives I want to talk about, but first up is something quite extraordinary, the Masakage Yuki Santoku knife, from Cutting Edge […]

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 […]

Food: Loon Fung Chinese Supermarket, Gerrard Street, Chinatown

June 27, 2014 LLG Food

I can – and do – spend hours in Chinese supermarkets. In England, whether it’s the giant hypermarkets – Wing Yip at Staples Corner and Hoo Hing up the road on the North Circular, or See Woo on Lisle Street in London’s Chinatown, they are hands down my favourite places to shop for food. I’ve favoured […]
