Sushi lunch

Salmon sushi for lunch on the train

Dinner at "Black and Blue"

Olives

Burger and chips

Poor. The olives were ok, and the burger was ok, but the chips were poor. Not a bad meal, but by no means worth £50 for dinner for two. 

Raclette for lunch

From a stall at Borough market - it was great - raclette cheese with cornichons, potatoes and lots of salt and pepper

Baltic for a birthday dinner

Pierogi - little cheesy potato dumplings. Nice, but not very strongly flavoured.

A very good well seasoned steak

All by candlelight

Baltic's great - tasty food, interesting cocktails and entertainingly random service 

My Birthday

A great cake. Made of chocolate, not caterpillars. 

Pizza

Mushroom and marscapone pizza. From Waitrose, so not cheap, but genuinely the best pizza I have had outside of a pizzeria. Stunning. 

Fish and chips

Medium cod and chips. Felt well deserved after a lot of exercise. 

Monday dinner

Ribeye steak with a baked potato and tenderstem broccoli 

Chinese food

Egg fried rice, beef in black bean sauce, chicken in cashews and water chestnuts, stir fried mushrooms and beansprouts. With champagne. 

Friday lunch

Out to the pub - good burger with baccon and cheese. Refreshingly, the cheese was giant lumps of cheddar, which didn't really melt, but you could eat them as a tasty snack. 

Quick Thursday dinner

Tsar fillet of smoked salmon with blinis and some horseradish creme fraiche 

Valentine's dinner

Champagne truffles

Smoked salmon blinis 

Dinner at Meson don Felipe

Excellent food in a crazily busy atmosphere, as ever. Patatas Bravas with cod in the background.

Chorizo

Prawns

Almond tart and brandy to finish 

Drinks and a starter at Baltic

Champagne and chips at Baltic 

Quick dinner

Filled pasta on Monday night. Very nice, but the packaging seemed a little on the extreme side, 

More game

Pheasant from the butchers

Reducing the wine, celery and pancetta it had cooked in

Pot roast pheasant with purple sprouting broccoli, roast potatoes, bread sauce, sausages and gravy 

Completed dinner

Tasty Californian cabernet sauvignon

Went well with the very rich venison, dauphinoise potatoes and spinach

Venison is meant to be very healthy, but given all the recipes seem to coat it in a rich creamy sauce not convinced this was as healthy a meal as some would say. 

Venison for tea

I'd never cooked it before, so gave venison a try

Cooked it with a creamy wild mushroom sauce and spinach

Sizzling away. Smelt disconcertingly agricultural while cooking.
