The Alchemy of Food by Peter Schleicher and Eckart Witzigmann
In his book, Dr. Peter Schleicher guides us with a thorough historical explanation of the power of alchemy, and the healing attributes of plants and other natural products, toward chronic illnesses, primarily cancer. By using the highest quality of ingredients and exact combinations, followed by traditional methods of alchemy like separatio (separation), purificatio (purification), Cohobatio (combination), to name a few, we get a pure result, a natural remedy which can be used towards the treatment of a specific ailment or disease.

MasterChef at Home 2010
Personally I miss Lloyd Grossman, who was running the MasterChef kitchen when the majority of Twatters were in nappies. The twisted vowels, the rather odd people who applied to be on and the palpable non-tension of the studio setting were all rather charming.

Cafe Luc, Marylebone, London
Café Luc is open all day and serves very good food from breakfast to dinner. The menu is strongly French with Mediterranean hints.

Pão de azeite/Olive oil bread
In this region of Portugal people bake a type of bread which I adore. Fluffy, light, like a cream cloud. Usually it is served during Easter, baked in fierce wood ovens, but nowadays can be found all year round in the village bakery. It’s taste is so evocative of this place in the country, the olive harvests and reminds me of my Grandad who loved it and would crumble some slices when stale, in more olive oil and garlic.
Tapas Revolution, great tapas in Westfield shopping centre, Shepherd’s Bush
The brainchild of chef Omar Allibhoy, it’s the first in a planned series of Madrid-style all day tapas bars. Allibhoy, head chef of El Pirata Detapas, was recently described by Gordon Ramsay as the Antonio Banderas of cooking and was trained by Ferran Adrià of the über-fêted El Bulli, so our expectations were high.
ORA, stylish Thai restaurant, in Little Portland Street, near Oxford Circus
You can see ORA’s shocking pink neon sign from a good distance away, so vibrant is it that it seems to throb. This new Thai restaurant tucked away in Little Portland Street is otherwise quite unassuming from the outside, but as you enter it’s a different story. It’s smart and comfortable, a great space to take your time and enjoy a meal, but don’t just take my word for it, check it out for yourself.
