Bland, stodgy, boring and uninteresting! A fair description of our culinary heritage? I think not! More Tea, Vicar? is a shameless defence of the British eating experience, and an exploration of its magnificent traditions and heritage. Does British food deserve the bad reputation it has on the international culinary circuit? Granted it’s not nouvelle cuisine (a.k.a. small portions, high price), intricate garnishes, or exotic aromatics. British food is traditional, homely, warming and comforting. It is versatile, practical and loyal. Between rants and raves, comments and discussions, you'll find a selection of our favourite recipes, reviews of new and established restaurant, tea shops and eateries, cookbooks and kitchen gadgets. - Food Commentary and Articles
- Restaurant Reviews
- Recipes and Cooking Techniques
- Reports on Food Exhibitions, Shows and Festivals

I love sweet things. Cakes, bakes, pastries. So after an excellent recommendation from my new pastry chef best friend, Shuna, I ventured to Micheal Rhulman's blog and read up on Pate a Choux. For those of you unfamiliar, think chocolate éclairs and profiteroles. Michael's recent blog post unleashes the secret of the perfect Pate a Choux, using simple ingredient ratios (for more on this explore his new book, Ratio ). Well here's a little photo shoot of my attempts. And along with a chocolate covering and crème patissiere, I've got éclairs for the rest of the week!
