I know I'm a bit obsessive about food and this blog has a tendency to resemble a menu rather than a journal at times but the past 5 days have been an embarrassment of good meals, cooked by friends and family, that I can't let pass without it's own post. So in reverse order, here's what we've been immensely fortunate to eat in the past 5 days.
Becky was in last night so Ibolya and I seized the opportunity to pop down the road, to our old manor, in North Kensington, and have dinner at the best Thai restaurant in West London, The Numeber One Cafe. And it was especially good.
On Sunday, we dined with the Agbo family (Kwami, Marlene, Jean-Charles and Agnel) who made us Togolese cuisine, consisting of delicious fried plantain and succulent fish.
Saturday, we were at my sister Jane's for a big family dinner and Matthew H cooked beautifully roasted leg of lamb, with roast potatoes and vegetables. Followed by a magnificent cheese board and Jane's home-made cheese and chocolate cake.
Friday night, we were at Kate and Dan's, for a tender, rare, roast beef, with Chantenay carrots, dauphinoise potatoes and beans. Followed by Ibolya's Hungarian hoviragpuding 'snowdropps pudding'.
and finally, we started our 5 days of glutinous indulgence, with a wonderful Italian meal, prepared by Vittoriano and shared with Lorena, Claire and Martin. Prima course was omelet, stuffed pittas and cold meats and Secondi; tomato and basil pasta.
