Just bought Donald J’s latest book. It’s a corker! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ credit to the actual author Cosima Hussey for an innuendo filled cookbook, haven’t cooked anything yet but the title was irresistible

Trump making an appearance on NFL red zone was like watching the boys in the local interview the local mentalist for a laugh while drinking beers….except not everyone involved thought it was funny. Just going along with it because they had to

I ate a dish a few times in a few different places in Crete. One time it was so good that I asked for the recipe. I’ve been trying to dissect since the first mouthful. A little bit of shellfish stock and roasted red pepper, make the Prawns with Ouzo, dill and cream and absolute delight

Anyone know someone at BT Business that might actually be able to help. The only way to speak to anyone is to contact sales, and they just pass you on to a computer says no engineer. Whole business needs internet to run and all of the sales promises they make are bullshit

The exception to this is the 50 best gastropubs as it’s judged by the industry and professionals, and the standard in the top 100 is insanely good. The food awards Wales though is 50% good places 50% shit.

Come to the conclusion this morning that all these β€œbest” lists for restaurants/bars etc have nothing to do with what’s actually around, all based on votes or who you know or buying a table at the awards dinner. I’m done with pandering to them and promoting their brands

Good luck with the next phase glad you’re moving forward. I’ve been following cafe Denise on Instagram and the food looks absolutely amazing.

All good mate, thank you. We’ve had a busy summer for once, hoping it continues into the winter. Are you still at CafeDenise?

You’ve got to love the irony of extremist right wingers being killed by even more extreme right wingers for not being extreme enough. I’d never heard of this Kirk fella before he was shot, but the more I learn about him the better off the world is…until he’s replaced by an even worse version

I full y understand the can’t be bothered to cook. It’s a task. This dish was always a good go to for us, minimal effort, few ingredients, little washing up and everyone enjoyed it. I always use a good glug of olive oil at the start, more than you’d think is enough. πŸ‘Œ

We actually had it last night for dinner, with some beef meatballs and a salad on the side (I could do with losing a stone though mind)

If you have enough for the next day, add in some capers, olives, maybe a bit spice, basically a different dish.

Easy tomato sauce | Jamie Oliver recipes This easy pasta sauce will cook in about the same time it takes to cook some dried pasta in boiling salted water – super quick and tasty.

We’ve been cooking this at home for years, the kids loved it, we keep the left overs for the next day, and you can have anything you want on the side to go with it. We’ve had fish, meat, salads etc and batch cooking something can save loads of time.

I wouldn’t recommend doing that with dairy alternatives, vegetable oil based β€œcream” cant be good for you. Look a Mediterranean cuisine; add some good quality proteins and plenty of slow release carbs and extra virgin olive oil. Nothing wrong with being thin if it’s from a balanced diet

Thank you. I have an uncle that has had dairy and egg allergy, he’s had loads of issues over the years. Veganism has helped him a little bit as he now describes himself as a meat eating vegan. Definitely helped kitchens understand the complexity of his allergy.

We used to use Worcestershire sauce a lot, but have scaled it back for this very reason. We’ve been switching over to Henderson Relish, get a similar result taste wise without the anchovy. I’ve also started asking what people fancy and take it from there rather than deciphering a whole menu

20.08.2025 14:25 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

With yours, mushroom and anchovy are easy. The question I would ask would be whether you’re allergic to natural citric acid, such as lemon juice, as we use a lot of lemons in our kitchen. Communication is key. Having a list doesn’t help us as we can offer alternatives, especially if it’s gluten

The difficulty comes when someone says they have an allergy to something because they don’t like it, we’ve used the question β€œallergy or preference?a lot. We’ve had people say they’re allergic to something then see them eating it off another’s plate. 99% of the time we can navigate any allergens

As a chef/restaurant owner it’s extremely difficult to list everything on a menu. We make nearly everything on site these days (not bread at the minute) so it’s easier for us to speak to someone with allergies, we can easily omit something or if we know what the allergy is.

Obviously nobody that’s contributed to that list has ever been on the train from Gowerton to Carmarthen. Absolutely amazing coastal scenery

@transportforwales.bsky.social must have one of the worst records in the history of public transport. Even having customers calling up to say they won’t be coming yesterday because trains didn’t show up or were cancelled. The amount of times this has happened to me is beyond parody.
