A New Route To Legal Services

I passed this cafe in Hampstead yesterday on Haverstock Hill.

I suppose that The Legal Cafe might make a sensible profit on the coffee and cakes.

Serail Cooking – A Simple Chicken Curry

This recipe came from The Times on Saturday.

Matt Tebbutt was right, in that I used a big slug of Geeta’s Mango Chutney and this really made it a delicious curry. I also used some of St. Helen’s Farm Goats Milk Double Cream, as it comes in small pots, so there is less waste, which helps to stop my fridge getting cluttered with bits and pieces.

So to make this curry, all I need to purchase is one onion, a pack of Waitrose Chicken breast chunks and the small pot of double cream. Hopefully, I’ll have the chutney, garlic, tomatoes, chicken stock cube if I use one to hand, and the coriander in my little herb garden. There will be some spare chicken, but as it’s such a useful ingredient for cooking, it won’t stay in my fridge for long.

Serial Cooking – Chicken, Spinach And Tomato Stew

This is another recipe from Lindsey Bareham in The Times.

It was certainly worth cooking.

Note how to avoid cutting the chicken, I used some chicken chunks from Waitrose.

The only tricky bit was skinning the tomatoes in boiling water. But I’ve done it twice now and it’s not that difficult.

A Fully-Reliveried Virgin East Coast Train

This train was waiting at Leeds.

I hope that the gluten-free offering gets better than East Coast’s non-existent one!

Leon’s Black Bean Chilli Con Carne

This was my lunch on the way to Leeds in Leon in Kings Cross station.

It’s a new addition to the menu and this was certainly worth eating. I think customers felt that too, as I had to wait as they’d run out and were cooking the next batch.

Lunch On A Clothes Line

I had a nice gluten-free salad for lunch at a restaurant called La Corde a Linge

The salad was called le corset, as a lot of the dishes were named after clothes as the restaurant had once been a laundry.

They knew their gluten-free and also sold a decent cider.

It was also delicious and good value.

Frankfurt At Night

I went and had a look at Frankfurt by night.

I ate supper at Fisch Franke and it was an excellent gluten-free fish and chips.

The only problem I had was that it was bitterly cold and getting back to my hotel I got lost and a ten minute walk took thirty minutes. Frankfurt is not too well served by maps.

Serial Cooking – A Simple Kedgeree

This simple kedgeree comes from Lindsey Bareham in The Times.

It was one of the best meals that I’ve cooked serially.

I only ate half and will pack the rest for my trip to Rotherham on Saturday.

Going Gluten-Free In Malta

I  know it’s a holiday area, but I had no problems being gluten-free in Malta.

Everybody seemed to be pretty clued-up and I even had very good gluten-free rolls for breakfast in the hotel.

A Board Outside The Haggerston Espresso Room

I’ve used the Haggerston Espresso Room several times, as it’s near to my doctor’s surgery and it serves decent coffee and tea.

The pictures show both sides of the board that was outside.
