Tuck into beef cheeks at Simpatico, Ortiga and The Survey Co.

16 Aug 2012

Taking that first bite of a butter-soft, succulent beef cheek can change your palate forever, as the taste of the rich, sticky juices is implanted in your memory long after the plate has been wiped clean with a slab of bread. Requiring a decent investment of time to make – albeit a rewarding one – beef cheeks obtain their tenderness from being cooked very slowly, until they can be cut with the side of a spoon and scooped onto your plate with its precious juices. more

The Street Photographer: Sardine Tin

21 Jun 2012

Like French sister restaurant Piaf, Sardine Tin at South Bank is seductively European in its cuisine and relaxing atmosphere. Best enjoyed pre-sunset with a chilled glass of French sauvignon blanc, unwind with gastronome pleasure in this open-air tapas bar. With a new menu every eight weeks, a visit to Sardine Tin is ever-fresh, with the share plates and light meals curated to the available seasonal produce. Jams and relishes are made in house, adding a flavoursome twist to meals. Try the warm olives and Pumpkin and Pinenut Arancini to start, followed by the softest of gnocchi, and the Buche d’affinois cheese with sweet quince paste to close, all the while people-watching, grazing and savouring this humble yet gourmet experience in the company of friends. Check out Sardine Tin on The Street Photographer. more
