Warming spicy butternut squash and red lentil soup
I love all kinds of soup. I make batches of the stuff at the weekend and freeze it for cheap, ready to go weekday lunches. From frozen it just takes 8 minutes to heat in the microwave at work. There … Continue reading
Product of the week – lobster
Last week I was writing about how cheap chicken livers are, so this week as a contrast I decided to blow the budget and put pen to paper (well fingers to laptop) and talk about lobster. I bought a fresh … Continue reading
A quick and cheap midweek dinner – Pasta with chicken livers, prosciutto and mushrooms
After the Supperclub this week I needed to find a recipe to use up a big tub of fresh chicken livers from the International Supermarket as we had loads left over from making the pate for the amuse bouche canapes. … Continue reading

Our first Walthamstowfoodies Supperclub
We’re proud to have survived our first ever Walthamstowfoodies Supperclub on Saturday night. Sadly we didn’t remember to take many photos as we were so busy trying to get all 7 courses out. After all the weeks of self doubt, … Continue reading
Product of the week – striped aubergines

Happy holiday memories – Fish (psari) a la Spetsiota
I remember it clearly. It was dark, quiet and no-one spoke. Six tourists had finally arrived at Kosta – a tiny village on the Greek mainland on our way to the sun-kissed island of Spetses, one of the Greek Saronic … Continue reading
Product of the week – Sizzling sausages
Walthamstow really is a great place to buy sausages. We are spoilt for choice. Over the last few weeks we have been trying all different sausages, well Autumn is here so it would be wrong not to. I like bangers … Continue reading
Gozleme – fresh handmade Turkish pancakes
St James’ Street, Walthamstow is predominately Turkish. It made me laugh to hear a local estate agent refer to this as the ‘Coppermill Village’ recently! There are a couple of restaurants, Urfa and Delight Cafe, a bakery and the International … Continue reading
East African food affair
About ten years ago we went to Zigni House restaurant following a Timeout magazine recommendation, never having tried East African food before. Spicy, unheard of exotic dishes were scooped up with the staple injera bread with its soft, spongy texture … Continue reading

Product of the week – Venison Salami
When talking about the blog last week, we came up with the idea of writing every week about a foodie gem that we’ve bought in E17. I was brought up eating game. My very first post about a ‘product of the week’ has to be Bishop’s … Continue reading

What to do with wilting basil?
It has sat there for a week, neglected and forgotten; we finally came to the rescue just in time and whipped up a basil pesto. The basil was bought from the International Supermarket and still is pungent and has made an intense … Continue reading
