Food

Ah, I'm glad, and glad the evening menu is decent. It's a fun little place. I'm exceedingly jealous of you roaming around Valencia right now.

This is my current view of Valencia, so no need to be too jealous. It's also been raining solidly for the last two days.

Aw yeah. Death by PowerPoint.

Made this dish with some plain jasmine white rice and morning glory on Saturday. really simple and easy but lovely eat.

I put a tablespoon of miso in my spag bol tonight. Quite liked it.

I, too, like to live on the edge :)

Devilled kidneys for lunch. Bloody marvellous.

I devilled some chicken hearts for breakfast on Saturday, would recommend.

Got Mark Dredge's cooking with beer book this week. The first recipe is coffee stout pancakes!

Doing Belgian Quad Brisket on Sunday.

Fridge ones are wicked too.

So what were the pancakes like?

Agree on Bincho, tried curry leaf and it is alright.

Need to try chilli leaf.

Anyone got any good recommendations for Rome? We are staying in Monti, but happy to travel for great food.

Loads upthread, UTFS my man :)

Oh God, so many. Let me dig out my notebook when I'm home. Fabulous pasta & wine place on a quiet piazza with a fountain, so good I went there twice. Arancini place near the Vatican is delicious and you only need one. Plus a family-run place near the train station & main museum that has proper 'alla Romagna' dishes with offal.

I'll be back!

My guide to Rome is this book http://www.amazon.com/City-Secrets-Rome-Essential-Insiders/dp/0983079501

Looking forward to it!

This place was lovely when I went:

Was full of Italian families and couples. Menus were all in Italian, but the waitress read through the whole thing for us in English. We had some awesome wild boar with 'long pasta'.

The gentleman on the next table from us spent 20 mins deciding which wine we should drink too.

Also had lovely food at a Jewish restaurant called Ba Ghetto http://www.baghetto.com/home/.
Pro tip: don't try and make a reservation by e-mail on the Sabbath.

Roma Sparita.

A bowl made of cheese.

Don't go anywhere else until you've eaten a bowl made of cheese.

Was bored at work so walked around on Street View. Il Ritrovo del Gusto. Google has the address as Via dei Coronari, 30 but they put tables out in Piazza di San Simeone. Stopped off there for a glass of wine one day around 3 p.m. when my feet were knackered (I walked everywhere) and ended up staying until about 7 p.m.

6 euro glasses of delicious wine, reading about the rise and fall of the Empire, watching old uomini chat by the fountain. Crayfish with a rocket pesto linguine, followed by pineapple carpaccio sprinkled with lime juice and basil. An overjoyous memory.

I've just churned the ice-cream. Baked some - Anzac cookies chopped up. Worthers caramels chopped up. Vanilla custard base, and a smidge of Maple syrup.
It ain't pretty but nailed desert!

Hand churn or machine?

Looks tasty

Cheapo machine my flatmate gave me for my bday! Ain't no one got time for hand-churn!
