Homemade sourdough demystified A lot of us experimented with sourdough over lockdown, those long weeks stuck indoors, allowing a prime opportunity to start a new life in your airing cupboard.

Contemporary French food in Borough Market February’s restaurant of the month is Camille, a new contemporary French restaurant on Stoney Street, Borough Market, from the team behind Ducksoup, Little Duck and Emilia.

Borough Market and the Borough Box

Shucks! Oysters at Wright Bros
Learning to Shuck at Wright Brothers, Borough Market: I have something of an oyster fetish. I can happily eat 10 or 12 oysters in a sitting though usually I don’t get the opportunity. But, I’ve never tried opening them – partly a fear of failure and partly lack of a shucking knife. So an invitation […]
