Some fun news for the festive season! I’ll be returning to Tracks on Wednesday 14th Dec to run a one off cookery class. You’ll get a chance to get your hands on how to make Vietnamese spring rolls (loads of rolling involved), nuoc cham (fish sauce dipping sauce), pickled vegetables (carrots & mooli) and vermicelli…

Thank you to everyone that came to the Steamboat Station Supper Club on Thursday. It was fantastic to see quite a few guests from previous supper clubs and some lovely new faces too. You guys made my evening, it just warms my heart to see everyone happily digging into the steamboat. This was my last…

I used leftover fried chicken wings and thighs from previous evenings dinner to make this Oyakodon (Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl). Soo easy, tasty, comforting and filling. All I needed was to add onions, eggs, spring onions and some sauce. Oh can’t forget the steamed rice. Super easy lunch or dinner. #asianfood #japanesefood #onebowlmeal #chickenandrice…

Poor tomato! Sharpened some knives today for next weeks supper club. The tomato got the brunt of it. We picked up this fantastic whetstone sharpening kit at the @e11yardsale over the summer. It came with 2 x dual sided stones plus nice wooden base to keep the stone from slipping. The lovely guy charged us…

My favourite party snacks to make at the moment - Salt Fish Fritters. This one is similar to the Caribbean Stamp & Go fritters but with an Asian twist. It’s got a little kick from the birdseye chillies plus additional herbs to lift up the flavour. It’s not massively salty as the dried salted fish…

Xuxu, chuchu, chow chow (not the dog) or chayote - this green looking fruit is part of the gourd family. Originally from Mexico but as they are so easy to grow you’ll find them grown everywhere including the UK. These were gifted to me by the lovely @the_wandering_wheelbarrow. She gets her supplies from her dad’s…

Happy Birthday to me! happy Birthday to me! 😂 Had a fantastic time celebrating my Birthday on Sunday. Thank you to everyone that popped into @trackse7 - you made the day very special. xxx Amazing looking birthday cake made by the lovely @hoaness - it was also very tasty! I made some sushi, mini vegan…

It’s getting hot in here… Warm up around a pot of steaming broth and enjoy some good food & company in this bleak weather. There is also a fantastic selection of wines, beers, cocktails and soft drinks available to purchase at the bar. Tickets are still available for the Chinese Steamboat Station Supper Club at…

Vietnamese Fried Quail - Fantastic starter or snack. The quails were marinaded overnight in oyster sauce, rice wine, five spice, honey and a few more other ingredients. Steamed till just cooked, baste over with hot veg oil until skin is brown and crispy then serve. Roll up your sleeves and get yours fingers in there.…

Neighbours have been super busy with their first week of opening their new business (@the.can.club) this week (which has gone down a storm with the Forest Gate parents & kids) - so thought I’d help out by making them some dinner yesterday. Stir fried veg with fried tofu - veg was Chinese dried mushrooms (soaked…

Little video of our Seville trip. Beautiful city! Lots of places to visit for art, history and gorgeous gardens. Over 3000 tapas bars to choose from so you’re never going to be hungry or thirsty. All the food we had were very good and loads of places aren’t that expensive. One place we ordered 6…

There’s more than 3000 tapas bars in Seville and so little time to try them all. We ordered the Pulpo a la brasa (grilled octopus with lentils & carrot purée), Vieiras con crema de calabaza (scallops with pumpkin cream), we think this is a ham croquettes, Pollo de campo al ladrillo (grilled local range chicken)…

One of the many restaurants with soo much character in Seville - Bar Las Teresas. I love all the nick-nacks the bar has picked up through the years. Check out their display of old knives used to cut the cured hams. Whilst we were there we had some tasty tapas to soak up our cerveza’s…

Now back to my favourite subject…our first food stop at Seville was Bar Antiguedades as it was right next door to our hotel plus it was buzzing with loads of diners chatting, eating & drinking. We ordered Tartar de salmón (salmon tartar which came with mashed avocado & crisp bread), Boquerones en vinagre (anchovies in…
