One of my favorite ways to enjoy my Brussels sprouts, atop a baked potato. This time I cooked them with pancetta and sultanas, which sound oh so much more exotic than golden raisins, which I believe they were.

Try the recipe.

My first fish and chips in London did not disappoint. While it is would have been phenomenal with a few flakes of sea salt added right out of the fryer, the batter was so light and crispy and the dish so perfectly cooked that I didn’t mind. Also, the first mushy peas I’ve had and liked!

At The Phoenix, Palace Street.

On top of arugula, with sauteed onions, a very light balsamic vinaigrette, and Roquefort cheese. It just needs a bit of crunch… I’d say walnuts or pepitas next time.

Homemade pappardelle with pancetta and Brussels sprouts. Not bad for having no measuring utensils!

Home for the next couple of months. Today we decided to find our local pub, and I had this amazing slab of pork belly, topped with crackling, and surrounded by red wine gravy. Heavenly!

At The Mitre, Craven Terrace.
