Recipe: Muntjac Meatballs

Published by

I arrived in Melbourne 6 days ago and have found that I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment while I look for work. Despite feeling a little lost without a job to head to every morning, it has been good in many ways, mainly due to the fact that I can cook breakfast and dinner every single day! I saw this recipe on Foodsessed and tried Mike Robinson’s Muntjac meatballs yesterday, but as muntjac (a small deer) is so hard to find, we used lamb mince instead. Recipe For the Muntballs 250g (8.81 ounce) minced Muntjac – I used lamb 250g (8.81 ounce) Ricotta cheese 100g (3.52 ounce) finely grated Parmesan cheese A little grated lemon zest One egg Salt to taste For the sauce Two large jars of good quality Passata A man size knob of butter Three smashed cloves of garlic Salt to taste A pinch of sugar to sweeten things up A sprinkle of fresh basil to finish Grated nutmeg to finish I used the following inforgraphic …

Hotel La Tremoille, Paris

Published by

If it’s good enough for Gaga, it’s good enough for me. La TREMOILLE was just what we needed after a busy few days of wandering the city of Paris, dancing our feet off at Pitchfork festival and eating a glut of rich food. It’s everything you would expect from a boutique five star hotel in one of the most luxurious and romantic cities in the world. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, a bed fit for five kings, all the amenities you could possibly need, no less than a choice of six Moulton Brown shower gels, the softest bath robes and padded slippers, high ceilings and a balcony looking out onto the cobbled streets below. As I entered the room, the child in me was unleashed and I took a running leap and crashed down onto the bed, enveloping myself in expensive silky smooth bedding. I could have easily crawled under the duvet and not moved until I had to check out, but I sensibly dragged myself up and took one last wander into the city, a …

Señor Ceviche, Soho

Published by

Where Señor Ceviche, Kingly Court What Following a wildly successful series of pop-ups around the capital, Señor Ceviche serves tasty tapas style plates of fresh ceviche, Peruvian street food and fiery BBQ, alongside punchy Pisco cocktails and ice cold Peruvian beers from its new casa. The interiors have been designed around the bohemian and artistic streets of Lima’s party district, Barranco, which is home to some of Lima’s most exciting bars and restaurants, and where Señor Ceviche himself, Harry Edmeades, stayed while in Peru. The experience When did Kingly Court become so hip? And when did I start using the word hip? Not that the latter matters, of course. It’s just the last time I visited Kingly Court, a good handful of the restaurants that were bustling on my Saturday night visit last weekend didn’t exist. This little hidden gem right in the heart of Central London has well and truly undergone a makeover and I was pleasantly surprised at what lay before my very eyes. I was at Kingly Court to try Señor Ceviche, …

The Art of Arabia – Tunisia

Published by

This was orinally posted on Running in Heels Compared to other Tunisian towns, Sidi Bou Said feels like an expensive film set for a scene from a blockbuster action movie. As you walk up the narrow streets to the top of the village, the striking building exteriors leave you mesmerised – think bright blue painted doors with jewelled black details, all set in pristine white walls.  It’s all very chocolate box Arabia and yet, those with a keen interest in art will enjoy Sidi Bou Said thanks to the  numerous quaint galleries hidden in the nooks and crannies of the side streets. It might come as a surprise to those who don’t know it but there’s more to Tunisia than beaches and desert. Sidi Bou Said is a case in point. We started with Art Gallery El Artista, owned by Mounir Letaief, a local Tunisian artist, and pored over a series of beautifully painted canvases and handmade jewellery created by his students. I walked away with the most magnificent ring I had ever set my eyes on – price, an …
