LLG Books: Cook books for Christmas

December 17, 2011 Books & writers

I may be filling up my Kindle with vintage Georgette Heyer and the Game of Thrones series, but I am still collecting cookery books like there’s no tomorrow. In the same way that I am starting to find reading newspapers online unsatisfactory, I don’t want to read cookbooks online either.

LLG Cooks: Winter Warming Recipes

December 11, 2011 LLG Food

I think it’s time for my annual warming recipe digest, as I all I want to do right now is shovel bowls of hearty beans, lovely internal central heating soups, and plates of cheesy carbs. So here are some of the recipes I’ve posted on LLG that fall into those categories over the past few […]

LLG Food: Elanthy Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil

December 10, 2011 LLG Food

As we are approaching Christmas I thought this would be a good time to run some posts about some of the things I use everyday that I think are brilliant, and could make fabulous presents. My mother has bought 3litre cans of Elanthy Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil for years and, because they do special […]

Recipe Friday: LLG Cooks Fried Gnocchi with Mozzarella & Cherry Tomatoes

December 2, 2011 LLG Food

Back in the summer I came up with a Ready, Steady, Cook dish of fried gnocchi with roasted tomatoes & field mushrooms when we were eating up the contents of my mother’s fridge, shortly before she moved house. This time around, I just needed carbs, cheese & calories, owing to a slightly too enthusiastic evening […]

LLG Travels: Wafels & Dinges Food Truck, New York

November 26, 2011 LLG Food

YUM YUM YUM. I do wish London had food trucks in the way Manhattan has them. When I first moved to New York in 2007, they were just starting to gain in popularity, but now there’s a regular proliferation of them. I’m not talking about those street corner Halal guys, but full on trucks that […]

LLG Travels: News Café, Ocean Drive, South Beach Miami

November 19, 2011 LLG Food

Some people might argue that the News Café on Miami’s Ocean Drive is a bit of a cliché, but I say you can’t visit Miami without breakfast at this South Beach institution. Over twenty years old, and open twenty-four hours a day, it’s always packed, serves up great breakfasts, burgers and snack-ettes and provides excellent […]

Recipe Friday: LLG Cooks lentil dahl with caramelised onions & quinoa

November 18, 2011 LLG Food

Winter warming food…mmm…the only drawback is that so much of it comes with lashings of cheese and cream. Whilst deeelicious, you may as well just spread those dishes on your thighs and be done with it. Which is where the lovely lentil comes in: it’s a superfood, with 30% of its calories coming from protein, […]

LLG Shops in the US: Williams Sonoma cookshops

November 13, 2011 American Shops

I know it’s going to sound bizarre, but one of the things I always have to take back to England for my mother when I return from America are pale green washing-up gloves from the classic American kitchen shop Williams Sonoma. She swears point blank that these are nigh on indestructible, the platinum standard of […]

LLG Eats: Barton G in South Beach, Miami

November 7, 2011 LLG Food

We weren’t quite sure what to expect from restaurant Barton G in South Beach — we had heard tell of Lobster Pop Tarts, delivered to the table in a proper toaster, and of smoking cocktails.

LLG Food: A Menu for a Girls Supper at my Flat

October 28, 2011 LLG Food

I cooked supper for the first time for a group of girlfriends on Wednesday. I love doing a proper table, as I have endless cupboards of vintage glass and china, mostly inherited from my family, as well as lovely linen given to me by my mother, and the fabulous silver plated cutlery I recently bought […]
