What's for Supper

 

Extreme Leftovers

My partner Jerome and I have a bit of a weekend ritual that we really enjoy. I call it 'Extreme Leftovers'.

Jerome brings home whatever protein is left over in the kitchen at Les Trois Garcons where he is head chef and I throw in whatever ingredients, pastes and condiments are left over from my week's sessions at Eat Drink Talk . Then Sunday morning we sit down and pick through our collective spoils and decide what on earth to eat.

Depending on my week there could be anything from Thai chili jam, Catalan romesco, or Malaysian rendang paste in my fridge and after the Saturday night tasting menus have been eaten and the restaurant finally empties Jerome comes home with everything from 42 day aged sirloin to Bresse chicken from France.

Our collaborative efforts, fueled by glasses of wine and streaming music from Geneva's Couleur Trois , are never boring. Here are a few examples.

ALSO IN EAT & DRINK

  • Weekend Eats: The Barnsbury

    The Barnsbury is one of those pubs that seem to have it all: a savvy owner, Jeremy Gough, who started out working for Conran Restaurants, a comfy decor with crackling logfires, and quirky touches like the wineglass chandeliers, and a nice walled garden for when the weather's fine.

  • Queen of the Kitchen

    As you've probably gathered, I consider myself something of a domestic goddess. I mean, obviously I'll end up following the Cheevers tradition of outsourcing all domestic duties. But for now I consider myself pretty stellar in the kitchen. I am, in a word, awesome.

  • What's for Supper: Summer in the City

    This summer I've swapped my flat in Clerkenwell with the NYC home of a foodwriter - a match made in heaven! Here are 3 recipes that are making waves on the New York eating scene.

  • Apero

    Finally, it is cool to drink Campari again. Wine bars all over Manhattan are serving up their version of an apero, a slightly bitter, citrusy cocktail based on everyone’s favourite 1970’s infusion, Campari.

  • Uni Panini

    A few days ago I had lunch with Alex Raij, the former executive chef of Tia Pol and El Quinto Pino, two closet sized bars that have been serving up some of New York’s most innovative yet traditional tapas.
