I have been lucky enough to be get six supper club invitations, courtesy of a competition run by Codorniu Wines and the Culinary Guide. Although supper clubs have been popular for a couple of years now, I’ve never been to one before so I was really excited when the first event was booked. Shacklewell Nights, a collaboration between Claire Roberson and Jonathan Woolway are doing a week’s...
Small plates – Tapas Last night’s excursion was to Tendido Cero Tapas Bar in South Kensington. I had a friend visiting who is currently living in Poland but who used to be a neighbour.

I generally like this sort of thing, but I’d found out that there were a series of events organised by the same people…and that made me a little apprehensive. I am clearly a bit...
I am a self confessed food snob. I love cooking even just for myself and I love eating out. For me, my affair with all things gastronomical began when I was in my teens and started to spend summer holidays in the French Alps with a French family. The objective was to improve my French.
