Another epic night at our Collaborative Cooking Club. The theme was game (with a backtrack of Christmas carols) and the menu a partridge, beetroot and walnut salad from @barnyhaughton , gnocchi with venison and wild boar ragu from @sapsedluke and me, a magnificently lavish multi-layered chartreuse of game from @xantheclay and a chestnut and chocolate Mont Blanc from Caroline. We all pitch in and help with each other’s dishes though. Wines - including Chambolle Musigny and Bandol - weren’t too shabby either. Surprised anyone was still standing by the end #gameon.

Absolutely GORGEOUS veg from @formerly_birch’s allotment including Jerusalem artichokes, squash, chard and celery leaf. Plus cider and homemade cider vinegar. If you’re anywhere near #templemeads station in the next hour or so it’s worth braving this utterly shitty weather for. (They’re at @hartsbakery Xmas market).

Segovian suckling pig @sabor_ldn which feels like a little bit of Spain in the heart of London. Extraordinarily delicate sweet meat and crisp skin + exemplary chips. Also an amazing fish stew with skate and hard boiled eggs. First time I’ve been to the asador upstairs - feels like the best kind of home cooking @nieves_barragan1 @gemmabelleats. Lovely pre-Christmas treat. #guest.
