I wanted to come up with a big headline, but thinking about it, there was really only one emotion. Getting awards from fellow food bloggers is just rewarding. I must say, it’s really quite uplifting knowing that there are people out there who read my posts and also enjoy reading them. I am (almost) lost for words. What’s even more awe-inspiring is that I not only received my first award.. but I got my first four in the space of two days
Borough market is the tour de force of a food market situated in the heart of London. After much procrastination, I finally paid a visit to the famed market and started off my photo essay in part one. I last left you on a sweet and smelly note with dulce de luche & some black truffles to munch about. Are you ready for more
I love going to markets. I love independent producers who passionately pour their heart into their stock. In a world of mass-market consumerism with pre-packaged food manufactured with questionable methods; food is the last thing you want homogenised. Last weekend, I paid a visit to the ‘award-winning’ ( closer to opinion winning) Borough Market in the London Bridge area. They are widely regarded as fine food producer central, even surpassing the famed portebello market in recent years. The market’s board of trustees believe that everyone has the right to eat well. Sounds like my kind of guys

We should stick together, I’m bringing us all in this post. This is also my way of saying a big thank you to everyone, also think of this as a little ice breaker too, I’m sure some of you have met each other, and some haven’t, either way, we are all here to to share our edibilties I’ve noticed that foodbloggers (in addition to loving food) all share one other trait: They love life. Its solidified my belief that foodies are as such because it’s part and parcel of the wonderful colours and vibrancy that makes life… alive. I think places like foodbuzz are great because it creates that community, like a camaraderie and that we are truly not alone… because as you can tell from my stumble post, there are so many foodlovers out there. In addition to getting connected on stumbleupon, I’m posting here to give everybody a little highlight and shout out. The blogosphere is such a wonderful thing, the more connected we become, the more popular we become – well and truly the information age.
Wow, what great weather! It’s late september but summer has finally arrived. I knew it, all those months of rain and cold have finally given way to sunshine. I understand what global warming is doing to the world now – its pushing the seasons back a few months. Its been a pretty hectic week so far, lots of updates and changes on the site, I’ve been busy contributing some of my stuff for metrotwin (you’ll hear more of this next week), and I finally completed my first wine post. Last week’s conquests included Great queen street and I settled for some nice gelato at covent garden. Here’s some of the stuff I’ve been reading about lately: Alibi Tony Naylor at word of mouth was writing about this new magic drink called Alibi which is marketed as an ‘active pretox drink’ that helps ward of nausea and headaches. So hangover medicine. I don’t really get drunk that often i must admit. The last time I was absolutely hammered was probably by eight (or was it nine?) shots of absinthe . I laid in bed for the whole day. It’s days like that which make me want to be a better man. Menu Radar I’ve been quietly following the developments at the Connaught. There has recently been a change of stewardship at the restaurant. The previous patron, Angie Hartnett, whom I have great respect (she’s really funny too I find) for, has
I have a confession to make. I’m not actuallly in london at the moment. I’m sightseeing in Wales. Stopping at the township of Pembroke, featuring old castles, swans, 30mph winds and heavy rain. Did i mention the winds? fishy pictures I was reading about photo essays on the digital photography school blog and thought it would be quite interesting if it was applied to food. Think m&s adverts where food takes centre stage. Come on fess up, you were slightly turned on by the deep sexy female voice narrating over gorgeous tastiness. Anyway, here’s my monkfish tale (pun intended) photo essay
