I was in London for a few days and I did all my favourite things. Had my first real scones and clotted cream at Canteen (the chairs are so pretty), walked around Covent Gardens, drank up all the Elderflower presse I could, baked cake with my favourite cousins, ate sticky toffee pudding, walked through the park and photographed ducklings, brought home more sticky toffee pudding, stuffed my bag with enamelware and vintage kitchen equipment I found in tiny stores. On my visit to Borough Market, I quickly snapped a few shots of the market in case you’d like to take a peek. Although my bag was bursting at its seams, I bought another copy of the Flavour Thesaurus because you never say no to bargains.
I thought I’d share with you some really great resources online I’ve been stumbling upon lately:
- Beet Cake.This video will make you want to bake a beet cake even if you aren’t a fan of beets.
- Books to buy pronto: Supper Club (USA | UK | India), Delicate (USA | UK | India), Canning for a New Generation (USA | UK | India) , Saraban (USA | UK | India), Cooking in the Moment (USA | UK | India) and Pastry Paris (USA | UK | India) (too bad I missed the book signing).
- Blog crush: Katie Shelly (super illustrations), Hungry Ghost (beautiful photography)
- El Bulli on film.
- Food magazines: Kinfolk, Baker’s Notes, Lucky Peach, Sweet Paul Fall 2011.
- The cutest non-food video I can’t seem to get enough of Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.
I’ve been pinning away gorgeous things I find on Pinterest, in case you want to keep up with more cute things I find around the web.
