What else I’m cooking with:

Since it’s reasonably chilly now, I’ve been loving making soups with pantry staples like legumes and grains. One which I’m notably keen on is pasta e fagioli, which makes use of probably the most humble components; tinned tomatoes, beans and pasta. It’s thick, comforting and precisely what I really feel like on a cold winter’s night.

The place else I’m consuming:

The truffle brunch at NOMAD. An indulgent Sunday brunch is on provide all through truffle season (which is now!). Assume three cheese manoushe, baked eggs, ham hock hash brown – all with native truffle after all. Throw in a Bloody Mary and it’s a really particular strategy to spend a Sunday morning.
