A Turkey is not just for Christmas….
The Goring Hotel recently played host to an event promoted by British Turkey, the body that represents British turkey producers, attended by foodie scribes and representatives from those producers, to see Phil Vickery give a demonstration of the versatility of turkey in cooking. Phil’s focus was on turkey recipes for summer dishes, and he had developed four recipes to demonstrate different from those of his that already appear on the British Turkey website.

Give mothers a well-deserved break from the stove on Mothering Sunday this March 22 at Tamarind, the opulent and award-winning Indian restaurant in Mayfair.

Pass the mustard
We tend to think of mustard as an accompaniment to cuts of meat, pork pies or sandwiches. However, there’s more to mustard than meets the eye, it’s not merely a condiment it’s also a truly versatile ingredient. Mustard can be used in a vast range of recipes to add piquancy, depth and flavour.
Come and plant a vine at KIngs Cross
Once upon a time the Kings Cross area was better known for wasted winos than it was for wine. It’s an indication of how things have changed to discover that vines are about to be planted here. An old piece of wasteland just behind Kings Cross could soon be producing Britain’s next breed of wine, but more importantly it is hoped it will encourage others in London to follow suit, go green and explore the possibilities of turning wasteland into fantastic food and wine producing areas.
Saki Bar & Food Emporium Restaurant
It’s hidden place Saki. In the evening the shop above closes and you could be forgiven for thinking there was no restaurant there at all. This shyness, combined with the Dickensian darkness of West Smithfield at night, means you might never venture down the stairs to the bar and restaurant beneath. You’d be slapping yourself forcefully with a wet tuna if you didn’t though because this is a very good restaurant indeed.
The Double Club restaurant
I ventured to ‘The Double Club’ on a double date. The west meets the Congo (and vice versa) in this temporary venture, produced by Prada. Down a dark cobbled alley behind Angel tube, it was an unlikely find. A Victorian warehouse is awning to three spaces woven by artists and graced by fashionistas. The mind behind is Carsten Höller, a German gripped by Congo-mania..
