Having boarded my routine No 24 bus from Whitehall to Pimlico this evening, the passengers were aroused from their apathy by a sudden stop. This was followed by an announcement from the latin driver that sounded just like a blueberry muffin recipe. When I challenged the driver face to face, he instructed us all to get off as the bus was being diverted, or terminated, or something. Just before departure, I had to ask if the driver recommended that the blueberrries were sliced or kept whole,…

I am wondering if Fabio Capello is aware of the charity that provides Labrador Guide Dogs for England Goalkeepers? Our wonderful World Cup Team just joined BP amongst the top world rankings for spilling things over Americans. Maybe it's best not to invite Robert Green to your Shrove Tuesday Party. Unless tossing pancakes is a required skill. Sighs............

I recently received an email from a TV company offering to do a piece on Sky TV on The Underground Restaurant. The sting was in the tail: they charge you, anything from £300 to £1,500.
I don't think this is kosher.
I've done a bit of TV and while they don't pay you (which is kind of a drag when it's taken up days of your time, and TV cameras and lights bother your guests, make it really hard to be efficient as a cook and host at the same time as being filmed) but you sure as hell…

I had this last year, it cost about 90 pounds. This means that if one of your guests drops dead from poisoning, falls over drunk and splits open their head on your marble table, you have insurance to cover it.
You can also get equipment insurance, legal cover and ....here's the sticky bit: cover for your staff.
Your 'staff' whether volunteers or paid employees need cover if they drop a hot bowl of soup on a guest, if they injure themselves.
This becomes quite…

For us, this is what Clandestinos Supper Club is all about and makes it so worthwhile when you hear lovely comments like this from two previous dinner guests - Aileen and Lakota from Brooklyn, NY.

Last night, while discussing the menu for our next event and thinking about canapes and welcome drinks, I was reading Aperitif, Recipes for Simple Pleasures in the French Style by Georgeanne Brennan, day-dreaming about making our own vin maison
or seasonal homemade wine, for everyday, that you can find in any given
region in France. Aaah, the pleasure and ritual of aperitif, both… Continue

oh little piggy, when i see you rolling in the mud and you squeal
i must confess, hungry- i do not feel
but when i see you shaved, paitently waiting for my knife

your hocks for soup, a menu (in my head) starts to unfold
your head for terrine, your leg for ham
your blood for sausage, mis en plas i start to plan
you truely are the perfect animal, your heart… Continue
