Slow Food Kitchen - A London food blog and foodie travels. Thecattylife… for all things cattylicious… Tamarind and Thyme. My Instagram feed probably gave it away but I was in Belgium last week for work. Sadly, the excitement of the novelty of Belgian food has now worn off for me – it was probably the endless chips, dairy and mayo that did it. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with chips, dairy and mayo but when encountering some combo of the three at almost every meal….well, yeah, I needed a break. On our last night in Leuven, we were, to our relief, brought to an Italian restaurant. I think I’d been expecting an average Italian restaurant, perhaps catering for the cheap-and-cheerful student population, but what I was not expecting was a brilliant Slow Food restaurant.
And that’s exactly what Ristorante Rossi is. We had all been booked in for their €35 3-course menu; there’s also a 5-course menu, an a la carte option, and occasional themed menus that reflect one particular region in Italy. Anyway, first was an amuse of vitello tonnato on crostini. Ristorante Rossi Standonckstraat,2 3000 Leuven Belgium. DOS HERMANOS: GO EVERYWHERE, EAT EVERYTHING. Eatlikeagirl.com. Hello Everyone! I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas, and that it was full of delicious food & drink, joyous nostalgia and as few arguments as possible (lets face it, we all have them). I did little in the run up to Christmas here, for a few reasons, one was that I just wasn’t feeling it (I will explain in a bit), the other was that I was furiously making 75 bacon boxes for Kickstarter Project: BACON supporters, to ensure that they were received just in time, and in the best, freshest shape possible.
I have 160 more to make in the New Year, and I am still writing the book. But, I am very nearly there, and I am excited. Bacon Fudge 2013 was in some respects wonderful and exciting, and in others very difficult. I travelled a lot, and learned much from it, spending time in places that I love like Japan, Thailand, Peru & Australia, as well as many European cities. A house on the Battery in St John’s, Newfoundland I found them! Dee’s Kitchen, Dromana, Mornington Peninsula Maiko in Kyoto Peru. LondonEater - London Food Blog and Restaurant Guide.

London, 14 April - 4 August 2014 The BurgerMonday Championship is the Wimbledon of burgers, a single-elimination tournament pitting 8 burgers greats against one another in a series of Monday-night match-ups.
All head-to-head clashes leading up to the August 4th #BMChampionship Final will be held at Climpson’s Arch, a bar, restaurant and roastery beneath the railways arches near London Fields Station in East London (map). The eight competitors are Almost Famous, Bleecker St Bleecker, Burger Bear, Disco Bistro, Dip & Flip, Elliot’s Cafe, Hawskmoor and Honest Burgers. The opening-round match-ups – Quarter-Finals A, B, C & D – will be determined through a random draw at the Launch Party on April 14th. The winners of the Quarter-Finals, as determined by open vote – yours, advance to the Semi-Finals. The winners of Semis meet in the Final. They’ll be no halving of burgers at the Quarters, Semis and Finals, at least not by the chefs.
