Just lovely to feel I was back in Mexico again yesterday @santoremedio_uk’s new restaurant in Marylebone. Particularly good ceviche but also tasty tacos, empanadas and pork pibil. #sunshineonaplate . . . #mexicanfood #tacos #ceviche #empanadas #marylebone #londonfood #newopening #guestWhen a friend brings a heaped bowlful of perfect mash to the table … To go with a big old pot of stew. (There was at one stage wine in that glass. Was just in the process of switching from white to red 😉) . . . #potato #mashedpotato #mash #beefstew #winterfood #eatingwithfriends #kitchensupperIt might strike you as ironic that as the @thepilgrm’s wine writer in residence I should be talking about not drinking rather than drinking but even if you’re in the booze business - ESPECIALLY if you’re in the booze business - you need to learn how to moderate. If you’d like to take on board those life lessons and/or find out how to transition from dry January join me next Thursday evening (23rd) when I’ll be in conversation with Laura Willoughby of @joinclubsoda. We’ll be tasting a range of the best alcohol-free drinks out there including @saichodrinks @sipsmith’s Freeglider, @botivodrinks and @bristolbeerfactory’s Clear Head Tickets are available from the events section of the Pilgrm website https://thepilgrm.com/article/how-to-drink-without-drinking-with-fiona-beckett and profits from the event will go to the mental health charity @talkclubcharity. Good subject, good cause. Do join us! . . . #moderatedrinking #sober #soberlife #alcoholfreelife #clubsoda #londonevents #londonpaddingtonAs I was felled by a nasty bug on my return from Italy I had to cancel my plans to go up to London so spent the money I’d have spent on my train ticket on a cheering bunch of flowers from @arena_flowers instead. Most of them are in a big vase in the hall but I’ve got the hyacinths in a smaller vase next to where I’m working where they’r wafting their scent through the kitchen. Why don’t we buy ourselves flowers more often? They don’t have to be expensive - just a bunch of daffs will do it. Or maybe you do? . . . #flowers #springflowers #treatyourself #selfcare Follow on Instagram
