The Oscar nominated film Beasts of the Southern Wild is one of the most unusual films I've seen in a while: almost impressionistic, with a post Katrina apocalyptic feel, set in the swollen rivers reminiscent of New Orleans. The 6 year old actress, a sweet faced urchin called …

We're celebrating the divine diversity of Middle Eastern food this week. We'll be having seven courses including beef meatballs with broad beans & lemon, poached pears in white wine & cardamon.

We've been drawing influences from the foreign students who have been staying with us, who have come form Bahrain and Georgia. We've been reading 'Jerusalem' by Yotam Ottolenghi, amd watched his recent TV series. We're liking the big salads, the grilled meats, the aubergines,…

Had quite a bit of home-made marzipan left over from my moroccan dinner which has been turned into delicious bouchées to enjoy with coffee. Yum yum!

I have recently been contacted by a fourth year Business student at the University of Glasgow who is conducting research into the Pop Up Dining experience. She has asked me to complete a short survey about this and to ask people who go to pop-ups/supper clubs to complete it too. If you wish to take part, here is the link to the survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SPH887M

I first met Tiffany Morris when she helped me cook a Mexican feast last summer for 80 people. It was a hard days night, making and steaming tamales. She comes from an American border town with Mexico so she knows her stuff. I'm not a big fan of chocolate but Tiffany made one of the best puddings I've ever had: Mexican chocolate cake with Mexican cinnamon icecream. So…

I've always loved Cornishware, classically in blue and white stripes. Nowadays TG Green do lots of other colours ranging from pillar box red to subtle pastels.

Here you can win a couple of their stripey mugs, inscribed with the names of your choice.

How cool would that be as a Valentines present in red and white? Inscribed for your loved one?

Or as a birthday pressie?

The Moroccan Dinner has been quite a hit with my lovely guests! I promised them flavour and colours and they were quite taken by this feast for the senses!

And for the occasion, I learnt how to make "feuilles de brik"- well worth the effort - they make the most delicious little briouats.

I do so love moroccan cuisine!…

Hello fellow foodies.

I love supper clubs. I love the passion behind the scenes. I love the voyerism. I love befriending strangers.

I love cooking in all it's forms.

We've had many requests for this recipe. Don’t forget the word ‘Artichoke’ in ‘Jerusalem Artichoke’ originally began with an ‘F’ and eat with caution. We serve short black sized ‘soupettes’ for a reason.

The Clandestine Gourmet present: La Clandestino Cubano Noche, a Cuban inspired evening. Saturday 2nd February, 19h30.

£35 for a 4 course dinner, plus surprise courses. Menu & location sent out 7 days prior to event. Flights of wine available on the night at £15 - let us know in advance. Wine suggested &…

A glorious splash of jerusalem artichokes, salsify, candy stripe carrots and orange beets at local providores, La Fromagerie. Spoilt for choice. 

Worried that no-one will eat during this month of self-deprivation. Is it death to supperclubs?  Perhaps we should think about a seven course slimmers supperclub?  Featuring ices, alfalfa and microherbs?  

Will push on with our usual seven course tasting menu and see who needs an excuse to shatter new year resolutions…
