Goodness gracious me! Nina Wadia’s kitchen skills are under intense scrutiny from Cyrus Todiwala. She’s getting quite a drubbing over her onion chopping. Luckily, it’s all in jest- the two friends make an engaging double act as they cook up a mini-feast showcasing Cafe Spice Namaste’s menu in aid of charity Find Your Feet’s Curry For Change campaign.
A Denhay Bacon Butty and a cup of Victory tea
One of life’s great pleasures, at least for a Brit, has to be a big old bacon sandwich and a big old mug of tea. The bread has to be thick cheap white, no ciabattas or focaccias thank you, and the tea has to be proper tea, not some designer nonsense or some soppy tisane. Luvverly.

At their helm, one man- Chris Kimball, walking gastronomic encyclopedia and, quite frankly, culinary genius.
Summer on the Southbank with Propstore & Sipsmith
One of the books in a tall stack of dusty volumes has caught my eye. I better not try and pry it out, though- the bar will collapse. And I’d hate to cause a scandal on the Southbank. That’s just not cricket- or, more aptly, croquet, since that’s the tournament playing out this evening to mark the launch of Propstore.
Pret A Diner Italians Do It Better
I can imagine much of Pret a Diner will enrage some restaurant critics what with its prices and, let’s admit it, slight pretentiousness. If you’re the sort of person who spots a £500 shirt and sees no problem in buying it though, then you will feel happily at home here.
PopKakery cakes on a stick are love at first bite
