Despite me being old enough to be her mum @rosiefoodie and I have a lot in common on top of our spookily similar surnames. We love food (obviously), we both used to have national newspaper columns and are now ardent devotees of Substack and we’re inveterate travellers. Tune in at 11am GMT tomorrow, March 19th on the Substack app to pick up tips on cooking, writing, surviving and thriving as a freelance and finding affordable and delicious wines!

Me applying myself to what I laughably call my job 🙄
Two highlights from the remarkable meal @osiprestaurant - the salad with smoked eel and eel mayonnaise and the soft as butter (my description, not the wording on the menu) hot smoked trout.
Then what looks like a minor massacre on the tablecloth when I failed to demolish the beetroot taco in one bite.
Great lunch, great company in the form of fellow Bristolian @5oclockapron. Thanks @merlin_johnson for the treat. #guest

My entry point into London being Paddington I don’t often make it across to Hackney but it was worth it for last night’s meal @miga.restaurant. Delicious tofu - not words I generally use together - wonderfully light and airy, japchae noodle salad and pork belly with king oyster mushroom. A modern take on Korean food from a charming family-run restaurant. More on my Substack shortly.

On a hazy March morning @clevedonpier was just a joy - like stepping back into the 50s except for the rows of plaques that line the sides commemorating births, deaths and love affairs. Resolved to go more often.
