Satisfyingly hearty, sweet-flavoured leek and potato soup with exemplary soda bread at @hugh__corcoran’s highly controversial The Yellow Bittern yesterday. Why controversial? Because Corcoran says -despite only opening at lunchtime and only taking cash - diners don’t spend enough. My take in full in this week’s Friday 5 but it’s refreshingly different and I liked it. . . . #londonfood #newrestaurant #theyellowbittern #soup #sodabread #kingscross #caledonianroadLovely to have my book The Wine Lover’s Kitchen reissued by @rylandpetersandsmall. It’s a collection of recipes for cooking with wine including this seductively spicy Moorish duck casserole with cinnamon and olives which you can find on my matchingfoodandwine website along with a quirky but excellent recipe for red wine spaghetti (cooked in red wine, believe it or not) The perfect present, dare I say, for any wine lover who enjoys cooking. AD (I guess it’s an ad as I’m plugging my cookbook but hard to keep up these days) Photo by @mowiekay . . . #cookbook #wine #cookingwithwineBack in the UK and missing my Mexican breakfast - in this instance chilaquiles from @ivoiremx a popular café just round the corner from the apartment we were staying in leafy Polanco in Mexico City. Mexican breakfasts were a revelation - see I need to up my game now I’m home. . . . #breakfast #brunch #breakfastideas #chilaquiles #mexicanfoodMarvellous collection of Mexican and other art at @elmuseosoumaya. Perfect way to end this wonderful trip. . . . #art #painting #museosoumaya #mexicocity #ciudaddemexico Follow on Instagram
