Pasghetti & MomATOES.
A new blog where I talk about some hella tasty stuff.
Going Out-Out: Cinquecento Chelsea
‘I felt like I’d just walked into the bloody Piazza San Marco.‘
DIY Dinners: Bar Douro
‘I have at least one friend who has taken the day off work to spend it at a lido, and I’ve already double-checked the SPF rating of my moisturiser. Welcome to Britain.’
DIY Dinners: Darjeeling Express
‘At the end of our meal, Asma gave both me and my mum the squeeziest of hugs. It is not only great food that comes out of that kitchen, but love.‘
DIY Dinners: Japes
‘Was this actually a pizza? Or was it purely a sunken pit of vice that one would throw themselves willingly, particularly after a night of tequila shots and vodka tonics?’
DIY Dinners: Wing Shack Co.
‘I did not, however, think I would crave meat – even when I was preparing to ditch it for a month. Foolish? Absolutely. Explicable? I think so.’
Recipe Me: 7 Day Vegan Challenge by Bettina Campolucci Bordi
I love brown food. Brown indicates the presence of carbs at the least, and a combination of fat and heat at the very best.
DIY Dinners: La Tua Pasta
‘Today, I am in a terrible mood. Like, monumentally bad. I’m properly angry at the whole world right now. So, I’ve come here to talk about joy. ‘
DIY Dinners: Dishoom vegan sausage naan (with extra bacon)
‘No, I have not gone vegan. Not even for the month, I’m afraid, and nor am I ever likely to.’
Going Out-Out: Tonkotsu Walthamstow
‘I love ramen and this is my favourite ramen place in town – oh to hell with it, I’m pretty sure Tonkotsu is home to my favourite “meal I can actually afford” in the whole city.’
DIY Dinners: José Pizarro
‘Having last left the country in January to visit a rather snowy upstate New York, encountering the 18th photo of an idyllic Grecian cove before 10am had rather made me snap.‘
First Course: Fidelari
‘As my grandmother’s culinary talents didn’t get much further than boiling cabbage into oblivion, I’ve shamelessly bought into the romance of it all before my Fidelari pack even arrives.’
DIY Dinners: 10 Greek Street
‘The problem with “Do-It-Yourself” is that you actually have to do it – and the thought of spending 15 minutes buying a non-broken bracket from Robert Dyas and screwing it into the wardrobe throws me into a fit of the vapours.’
DIY Dinners: Bancone
‘Pasta has emerged as one of lockdown’s gold medallists. To be fair, it didn’t have to do much.‘
