Here’s a quick little list of good stuff I’ve recently come across and thought I’d share with you. Enjoy!
Brindisa: I wandered by their Borough Market shop en route to a meeting last week and could not resist stocking up on cooking chorizos, agridulce paprika, Padron peppers and few other essentials. Such a brilliant shop for Spanish provisions.
Sakata: I received a sample package of these crispy Japanese rice crackers. Tasty. I liked the minimal ingredient plain ones the most, but have to admit I kept going back for another seaweed and soy sauce ones. There’s a pack of BBQ flavoured crackers I’ve yet to open. I wonder how munch worthy they’ll be. All Sakata crackers are gluten free and have only eight calories each.
Black Dog Books: Way back before Christmas the folks at Black Dog Publishing sent me a few books to review. Then I came down with the Noro virus, followed by a merry Christmas and what’s proved to be a hectic 2013. I thought one of those books was particularly lovely, Between Exits: Paintings by Hani Zurob featuring plenty of gorgeous full colour pictures of the Palestinian artist’s works.
Pie, Mash & Ravey Pop-up: I’m bummed I’m gonna have to miss it but feel I should pass the word on about Nicos Popupalot’s latest edible adventure. Nicos, who previously filled plenty of happy tummies with the Fingers and Thumbs Shellfish Restaurant (which I absolutely loved) will be back at Arch 289 on Cambridge Heath Road with a three-day, three-course menu over Easter, based around ye olde favourite comfort food, pie and mash. £25, BYOB.
