Last week we had a super social week and enjoyed many delicious meals out in London. Among our favourites were Kricket in Soho offering delicious small Indian plates and a glamorous Korean at Kimchee in Pancras Square near King’s Cross station. Eating out unsurprisingly presented a huge challenge to our seasonal eating year, as the choice andContinue reading “eating out”

(il)logical (un)choice
When embarking on the challenge to eat as seasonally as possible for a year, as well as agreeing with Paul Waddington in his Seasonal Food that ‘Eating locally and in season will help…set us on a path to a tastier, healthier and more sustainable food chain’ (p.37 Seasonal Food), we were driven by an illogical fact sheetContinue reading “(il)logical (un)choice”
