Kiltr.com's Street Feastival

After experiencing some very good examples of street food while in London recently ... I got very excited when I saw this flyer for the Kiltr Street Feastival today.

I'm hoping to attend tomorrow.

Jamie Oliver on Cool Hunting

Two of my personal inspirations come together... Tx

This looks way cool :: Yummyfun Kooking

Does anyone know if this show is on in the UK? Just found out about it... and the cool host Clare Crespo from The Urban Grocer.

Read more about Clare and here obsession with cupcakes at The Urban Grocer and Gothamist.

Sweet!

Scanned... round the world in eight dishes

I found this book in a charityshop last Saturday. I snapped it up immediately because of its quirky illustrations and content. It is a cookbook / travel journal from 1955 (the edition I have is from 1962) by the wonderfully charismatic Lesley Blanch.



In addition to writing the book... she illustrated it too. The Golem above is to illustrate "Gollum's Dumplings" from the Ukraine... and her picture below is to bring a flavour to the roast lamb dish from "all the Arab countries".



It was an awesome find... and one that I treasure.

BTW... Olly and I were given a Canon Pixma MP490 printer/scanner for our Christmas from my folks. The scanner is particularly useful... and I intend to use if to share some of the glorious books I have. As such... I have started a new label - "scanned". Enjoy.
