The utter joy of Hockney’s paintings of the English and Normandy countryside showing in all their glory @fondationlv. Well worth the trip to Paris - not that I need much encouragement #theycantcancelspring #davidhockney #parisartMade this smoked trout, avo and asparagus salad yesterday. Designed for solo eaters, though you could obviously scale it up, it’s not only delicious but virtuously healthy and seasonal. Recipe coming shortly on Eat this, Drink That! . . . #salmon #avocado #asparagus #salad #healthyeatingMade my own set lunch menu @seahorse.restaurant Dartmouth yesterday, starting with a couple of oysters then 2 starters - a crab salad and a pitch perfect seafood risotto and finishing with a side (courgette fritti) instead of a pud. The beauty of eating on your own is that you can be as eccentric as you like. (Click ink in bio for my latest post about restaurants and how to make them work for you.) #manageyourmeal . . . #seahorsedevon #dartmouth #fishrestaurant #seafood #crab #risotto #zucchini #solodining #guestPitch perfect plate of fish and chips at @noahsbristol_ - one of the options on their brilliantly good value £14.50 Lock Keeper’s lunch menu which includes a mug of tea! Good to see the place heaving on a Tuesday lunchtime. Love it! . . . #fishandchips #bristolfood #noahs #eatlocal Follow on Instagram
