Poulet Rouge, Balham


After deciding against Daddy/Daughter morning in Starbucks or queuing in the cold I popped into Poulet Rouge, where not only had I enjoyed a fabulous dinner earlier this week (dauphinoise to die for!), but which was also most importantly empty. Perfect!! Nothing better then silence on a Saturday morning.

Sushi Making - Sumosan, Mayfair

After falling out of love with sushi a few months ago (after a terrible salmon experience that still brings tears to my eyes) the invitation to Sumosan was received with mixed feelings. However I reasoned with my inner cry baby that if ever there was a time/place to relight the fire, then London's finest Sushi restaurant was probably the place to do it. So I accepted the invitation to make Sushi with Chef Bubker Belkhit and mentally forced myself to leave my salmon experience behind. A taster of what Sumosan has to offer and why they are dubbed as London's finest Sushi restaurant, left no doubt in my mind that my bad experience was a one off and all my fears were forgotten.



On to the Masterclass and although most of us were novices Chef Bubker and his team made us all feel totally at ease (aided by them not allowing us to handle the razor sharp, cut through your nails like butter, knives. Good shout on their part).
