Another photo-less post. Ach well. I couldn’t be bothered to get all the gear together to shoot a mere chickpea sandwich. (Gear consisting of 1. a small camera, and 2. the light switch.) So, again, take my word for it: [image]ugly and poorly lit[/image]. Rinsed out some dried chickpeas on Sunday night and left them […]
No photos today. It’s strange how on some days we’re just trigger-happy, and on others the camera doesn’t even come out of its case. So you’ll just have to take my word for how good today’s chicken in milk was. Originally a Jamie recipe, modified (i.e. made easy for lazy people) by us. Brown your […]
My parents used to take us out for teppanyaki for birthdays and special occasions, like the end of exams. So I felt the need to go out for teppanyaki today (well, yesterday by now…). I didn’t particularly want to be wandering around Downtown LA in the wee hours, so we couldn’t try the grill at […]

After a slow start and a lot of tinkering (with minimal thinking), I think it’s about time to get this blog off the ground. Since arriving in LA, I can’t honestly say my food intake has been particularly healthy nor inspired. Perhaps keeping an online food diary will guilt me into making more of an […]
It’s Turkey Day in America. I’m no fan of turkey. It’s a pointless meat unless you go the whole hog and prepare stuffing, roast veggies, roast potatoes, brussel sprouts with bacon and chestnut, chipolatas and all the other turkey trimmings you’d normally have for a British Christmas lunch. Over here, they do creative things with […]

The Kosher Market near us on Santa Monica Blvd (intersection with Butler, I think…) has a very tempting grill outside the shop. And you can buy the marinated meat from the meat counter, although you’ll get strange looks from the guys when you say you wanna cook it yourself. The beef kebabs were very gently […]
Cycled to Venice Beach today (have a magic route, as vouchsafed by our biking neighbours; may post it someday should we try it again). Couldn’t decide what to have for lunch, so we had sushi! (This makes it something like 4 days in a row that we’ve had sushi: Thurs monkfish liver sushi with the […]
Angelato‘s, on the corner of Third Street Promenade and Arizona in Santa Monica, is possibly a gelato-lover’s heaven. The range of flavours is astounding, the combination adventurous, and the portion size generous. P has been replaced in my affections, naturally. Face of the day: chocolate mandarin (which P ordered for me; and weirdly enough, I’d […]
