Peppered French Toast
Author Notes: Savoury, crispy French toast. Salty, with a heavy kick of black pepper. This was one of my favorite Sunday breakfasts growing up, the smell of the toasts frying up a scent memory that still takes me back. This fried bread I grew up eating, called khara pao (khara means “spicy”), is South Asia’s […]
Ham egg & chips
Traditional favourites like ham egg and chips are not difficult to find But every now and again one just hits the right spot. Which is why the Duke of Wellington in Southampton is worth a visit. It was one of the first pubs I ‘found’ after arriving in the UK and I have been back […]

Goodwood
It will never rate as a traditional English pudding shop. But the bread & butter pudding at Farmer, Butcher, Chef in Chichester is a great way to end a good meal. Although I think it is only something you get to do in winter. I might be wrong but it is not always an option […]
Trinchado

It means “cut up” or “carved” in English and it was served as a tapas-style bar snack along with drinks in most Mozambican bars over the years. Making its way into South Africa with the Portuguese immigrants […]
Thyme & Chillies
After finding Indian rice pudding at Darbar in Emsworth, flavoured with cardomen, I think, I decided to try their other restaurant, Thyme & Chillies just outside Chichester near the Marina on the Witterings road. Despite not having had much experience with Indian food I thought their samosas were perfect. Crisp and flavoursome. Good service, formal, […]
Pubs in the UK
One of the first pubs I was introduced to after arriving in the UK was the Black Boy in Winchester. The sort of Old English pubs where they care more about the quality of their Ale rather than the casual vistor asking for the wine list. The food is not bad. But it is not […]
