Food: Thomasina Miers’ Mexican Masterclass

February 6, 2014 LLG Food

On Saturday I beat a path to the Mexican food expert, and founder of Wahaca, the mini chain of excellent Mexican street food restaurants, (and friend) Thomasina Miers’ house for a masterclass in Mexican cookery. Tommi was hosting a two day session at her home as part of The Guardian Masterclass series, and I was [...]

London: Seoul Food at Dock Kitchen with Stevie Parle

January 27, 2014 LLG Food

I cannot lie: I did not eat the raw sea urchins at Stevie Parle’s Korean-influenced dinner last Wednesday. But I was in a distinct minority, as around me friends and colleagues (including intrepid Emily) scooped out the shells with glee.

London Restaurant: Comptoir Libanais

January 9, 2014 LLG Food

As much as I could eat leftover cold roast potatoes, bread sauce and Quality Street for, well, pretty much forever, there does come a point during the festive period where your palate starts screaming for stimulation. Middle Eastern food is clearly what the doctor orders in these situations and, in London, Comptoir Libanais hits the [...]

A (Gü) Girl’s Guide to a Fabulously Festive Party Season…

November 18, 2013 LLG Food

My association with Gü Puds amounts to quite a lot more than scarfing every Gü Key Lime Pie in sight from Virgin Atlantic’s in flight catering trolley, and  regularly clearing out the supply of Gü Chocolate Souffles in my local Sainsbury’s. You may remember that back in spring 2012 I let Gü Puds’ Head Chef Fred Ponnavoy loose in [...]

November 4, 2013 LLG Food

The opening of the Maille London boutique in the Piccadilly arcade wasn’t notable just for its interesting guests, plentiful Champagne and opportunity to dip endless breadsticks in their delectable Black Truffle and Chablis mustard.

Food: Pan Fried Gnocchi with Mushrooms, Chestnuts & Mustard, and Coronation Chicken a la LLG

October 23, 2013 LLG Food

(The Maille Supperclub I hosted in London in 2011) I don’t need much excuse to get into the kitchen, so when Maille asked if I would like to develop two recipes using their mustards I was on board like a flash. The brief was simple: pick any of the speciality mustards or condiments that Maille [...]

Food: The Maille Mustard Boutiques in Paris – and, shortly, in London…

October 21, 2013 LLG Food

Tucked away in a corner of the place surrounding the Madeleine in the heart of Paris is a tiny boutique, with wood panelled sides. If you don’t know that it is there, then you may well miss it. Fortunately, judging the brisk business it does all day, the shop is clearly an important destination for [...]

Muv’s Birthday Lunch: Ottolenghi Cauliflower Fritters & Raspberry Cream Cake

August 19, 2013 LLG Food

My mother makes the most epic cake. Actually to be honest everything she makes is pretty epic. She’s the best cook I know, hands down, and she single handedly ruined eating other people’s food for my sister and me. She understands ingredients, is always abreast of food trends and ideas and feeds everyone with generosity [...]

LLG Video: Kitchen Equipment: The Matstone 6 in 1 Macerating Cold Press Juicer

August 15, 2013 LLG Food

(click through here to watch the film if you are reading this on The Daily Email or on a mobile device) I’d never really engaged with the whole juicing movement until I did the Raw Fairies five day juice delivery. I really enjoyed it, didn’t feel at all hungry and appreciated the break from big meals. Then [...]
