Eating Out In

You know that times aren’t good when you’re about to go into the red and it’s only the second day of the month.

Cutting the starter and dessert seems pointless when the bill is inevitably split and instead you end up subsidizing your mates’ truffle and drinking habits. So unless you dine solely with people as skint as yourself, it may be time to rediscover the charms of eating in.

But instead of actually dirtying your pots and pans, Hofmann-alumni Marcos Gratacós and Francisco López-Peláez have developed a high-tech rapid-cooling and vacuuming system, that maintains the flavours and freshness of the take-away dishes at the recently-opened Condimentarius. Warm in hot-water bath or nuke them for instant restaurant quality at home.

And if you’re still rolling in it and prefer to eat in out, rather than out in, old favourite Limbo has re-introduced a set of old school home cooking recipes that even your mother has let slip in this laze-inducing age of convenience.
