Foodie Friday – Brown Food is back
I’m up to here with
avocado, pomegranates, kale, quinoa and all that politically correct Instagram
whole food.
Hillary Rose just wrote a
great article in The Times in favour of Brown Food.
What beats good looking
comfort food really?
Nigella Lawson has
launched a new cook book containing ‘a loving defense of brown food’.
Cora Pearl a great London
restaurant specialises in brown food – posh ham ‘n cheese toasties, brown beef
with brown veggies and gravy.
Yes it doesn’t look great
on Instagram but it sure tastes great especially when it’s cold, raining,
stressful, and Coronavirus is everywhere!
Forget the tuna tartare;
bring on the chicken soup and liver and onions.
Chefs know this.
