Lightly grease a pan with butter and place over mediumβhigh heat. Once hot, pour in some of the batter and swirl it around to form a thin crΓͺpe-style pancake. Cook for a couple of minutes on each side, until golden and slightly crisp around the edges. Repeat until youβve used up all of the batter.

To make the pancakes, beat the eggs in a mixing bowl, then add the flour, milk, salt and a couple of grinds of black pepper and whisk until well combined. The batter should be a fairly thin consistency. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes and when ready, add the melted butter to the batter and mix well.

A photo of my book The Place I'm in surrounded by items you would make a wreath with: leaves, dried fruit and berries etc. Photographed against a white-washed wooden floor.
Image of a page with this observation: Woman on her phone: Ten
minutes. Ten minutesβ walk in
the park. Iβm sure the stationery
cupboard will cope, Adeeba.
Next to a black and white drawing of the woman by Adam Beer.
A section from In The Park - pink background, text reads: People are fascinating and familiar here. They bring picnics, books,
dogs, frisbees, footballs, bunting and a circus kit. They come to bake in
the sun or to think, to talk privately on the phone or to a friend or with
a group to celebrate a birthday. They stay for a while or cycle through.
Sometimes itβs calm and beautiful, but also edgy or a place to feel sad
or lonely. Itβs a space we can go without buying a coffee or knowing a
code β without a ticket to get in. Our shared gardens.
A woman at the entrance talks to her dachshund, who is refusing to go
in, βYou like it when you get there though, donβt you?β
With black and white illustrations by Adam Beer.
Mum on the school run: Ready, spaghetti?
Little boy: Just ready.
This: Mum: Oh, youβve grown out of βReady,
spaghettiβ?
Little boy: Not completely.
Just this morning.

No city shaped the modern world quite like London β a centre of global influence in the 19th century.
But beyond the familiar stories of power and politics, its true life played out in the streets. 'Forgotten London' uncovers these stories, bringing to life those who made the city what it was.
