One of the things I most enjoy about high-end restaurants is what they offer in the way of cheese.

Following a well-established tradition of cooking with my mate @fionasims when I go to stay with her on the IOW. This time from @noorishbynoor’s spectacular new book Lugma. We made the charred courgettes with saffron, kefir and sticky onions, bottom of the pot chicken and rice and sunrise clementines with hibiscus and orange oil. Quite a lot of work - more project cooking than quick’n’easy which it’s why it’s great to cook with someone else - but the flavours were incredible.

Happy Easter all with this charmingly decorated tree in the back streets of Deal. Plus some last minute wine recs in this week’s Friday 5 for those of you whose family have already drunk them out of house and home …

Always knew @juliet49londonrdstroud was going to be my kinda restaurant from the oysters to the gloriously fresh asparagus with broad beans and stracciatella, textbook steak tartare and allumettes and tarte tatin. @ellypear cracking up over her TWO chocolate desserts. Me in seventh heaven with chips and roasties. Such a great place @williammrees and a lovely, lovely team

Bristol’s latest opening @ragu.restaurant.bristol taking their name seriously with an (absolutely delicious) pea ragu. Served with shoulder of lamb, salsa verde and some wicked roast AND fried potatoes (as a side). Great focaccia with whipped bottarga butter too. #notafreebie
