This vinegar is glorious.

Such a lovely, friendly evening at @68_market last night where the FOH is as excellent as the food by chef Stuart Tuck. Thank you Liz for looking after us so well. We ate broccoli and cashew biryani with runner bean samosas and carrot raita; a courgette and okra gumbo with cornbread; Thai style sweetcorn fritters with chilli jam; macaroni cheese bites with roast chilli mayo; fried gherkin crusted with polenta and served with Cajun remoulade; coconut rice pudding doughnuts with raspberry compote, and a lemon posset with blackberry and a lavender shortbread. I was especially delighted with my gumbo; as @longthroatmemoirs writes, it had 'draw' which is something I always look for in this dish. 68 Market Street is a vegetarian and vegan restaurant steps away from Ely's beautiful cathedral serving locally supplied ingredients where possible. Their wines are natural. The energy they use is carbon neutral and even their waste disposal systems (via Ellgia) are as eco-friendly as possible. The interior refit followed similar principles too. Reuse and repurpose is their mantra. Also– and this is very important–the tables are large enough so that your small and sharing plates don't end up on the floor. We met a local artist there too (her work is displayed on the restaurant walls) called @amy_wormald and I share her love of building sites, skips, scaffolding and urban redevelopment. We want one of her paintings.

Alleys and sunflowers.

It's a @woostersbakery breakfast. My favourite drink from @labrewery, a banana blondie, bag of market greengages (underneath) and Helen Oyemi's novel, Gingerbread.

The heart wants what it wants: chicharrones with exactly the right kind of chamoy–inexpensive, bottled, NOT the kind handmade by chefs. When I eat this I no longer see the local streetscape outside but instead a dusty park in Saltillo filled with people eating tostilocos and grilled corn, buying pummel balloons for their kids, smoking, chattering, gesturing. Chamoy is guaranteed to make me well up every time. 🇲🇽 🌵

Really pleased with how this is coming along. These are spiced, brown butter sweet potato hotcakes served with tea - soaked apricots, a nut granola, coconut yoghurt and a mix of sorghum and ginger syrup. It's inspired by brunch at The Old Bicycle Shop in Cambridge. Not sure whether I'll include the sorghum if this goes into a column because it's near impossible to buy in the UK. I'm enjoying reading about myths and lore surrounding sweet potatoes too. Keep em coming.
