Peri Peri chicken with spiced rice and the yummiest peas I’ve ever had. They’re very reminiscent of my goat cheese, mint & pea pasta.

At Nando’s, Bayswater Avenue.

The cold weather had me craving soup, and luckily the Tate answered with this creamy leek and parsnip soup. With a spinach tarte, this was quite the satisfying meal.

Spuds and Sprouts

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.

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.

Even when we’re on the go, the food here in Japan has been good. From a quick fast food burger to bento boxes on the shinkansen, our bellies have stayed filled to the brim. And the train station food is nothing short of amazing. Whole fried shrimps with a dipping sauce and rice were had in Tokyo, and if I ever make it back to Nagano/Ueda I will definitely be stopping by the noodle shop on the platform. That scent has not left my memory banks since.
