Carnaby Street Eat Food Festival 20 July

Kingly Court Al Fresco Dining

Carnaby Street was a real hotspot in the 60’s when it was a centre for fashion and music of the Swinging 60s. Today, it is a pedestrianised shopping area with lots of quirky boutiques and a lot of restaurants and bars. Veer away from the main stretch and explore the side streets where you will find some artisanal fashion designers and eccentric English shops.

Carnaby StreetEat Food Festival

On Sunday 20 July, over 15 global cuisines from over 40 of the area’s best restaurants, bars and cafés will be offering their dishes and concepts out onto the streets. You can taste a variety dishes for £5 and enjoy expert cooking demos, led by presenter and foodie Hardeep Singh Kohli.

There will be a carnival atmosphere with live music and entertainment on the streets. Every outlet is doing something special for the day. ZSL London’s pop up is offerng face painting for kids and Lomography is offering free photography workshop on the day.

Carnaby StreetEat is not your usual street food stalls but actual restaurants in the area around Carnaby Street, Kingly Court and Newburgh Street. You won’t find the same old stalls that you see at street food collectives all around London. It’s a great opportunity to try food and drink from all these restaurants in one go if you fancy and for not a long of dosh.

We did a really fun food safari and previewed quite a few of these restaurants and bars around the Carnaby Street area and here are some highlights. Really love that all the restaurants have outdoor tables and have big windows opening into Kingly Court, a really buzzing crowd.

Wright Brothers serves Asian inspired fish and seafood dishes. They serve Jersey oysters at £1 a shot, what a bargain. We tried their salmon sashimi and some delicious creamy burrata too, accompanied by tall glasses of Prosecco.

Japanese Craft Beer

If you like craft beer and great tasting food, check out Whyte & Brown. We tasted a seasonal crab bruschetta paired with a really unique Honey Craft Beer and an exotic mess which is an eton mess with tropical fruits paired with a specially selected craft beer. These guys stock a long list of craft beer from both the UK and around the world and there is even one that is lemongrass flavour.

Fancy a Caribbean beach holiday in Central London, head over to The Rum Kitchen in Kingly Court. There is a very long cocktail list, especially rum cocktails. There is a great vibe, holiday music and the decor transports you to a hot sunny beach in the Caribbean.

ChaChaMoon made a big splash when they launched with some tasty noodle dishes. They have since added to their menus and they have cocktails on their menu at just £6. We had lots several cocktails, a couple of starters and some Singapore noodles.

Stax Diner is Bea (of Bea’s of Bloombsbury fame and famous Duffin maker) is a new American diner serving food from the Deep South like Chicken and Waffles. I was thrilled that htey have A&W floats. There are lots of milk shakes and some hard milkshakes and hard ice cream floats like the Drunken Brown Cow. They have loads of fun whipping up these drinks. Make sure you try the Graceland with banana and peanut butter and the Dalmation with cookies blended in.

AD A celebration meal with luscious gunma #wagyubeef strips served with stir-fried glutinous rice or "Loh Mai Fan". The wagyu beef is A5, the highest quality and is cut into 8mm thickness that is usually used for yakiniku. Here, it is just seared on a very hot griddle and glazed with some eel sauce. 
The rice is not your typical fried rice but made with glutinous rice, shitake mushrooms, dried shrimps and wind-dried Chinese sausages. The combination of ingredients gives it a rich umami flavour.

Today is the 15th day of Chinese New Year, also known The lantern festival. It is the end of the new year celebrations and for observing the taboos. For Hokkien people, it is called Chap Goh Meh, more important than the 1st day of the new Year. 
It’s also important day for singles. Historically, this was the only day that unmarried girls were allowed out. The tradition is to throw mandarins into the sea to ensure that you marry well. And all the young men gather on the streets for their only chance to see their potential girlfriends.

Autumn leaves 🍂  Early morning in London, walking in the sunlight outside resetting my circadian rhythm. I’m learning to hack my sleep without supplements as did chemicals and how to manage your nervous system and biological responses. A fascinating journey.

#BritishApplesAndPears season started on 4 October
#BritishApplesAndPears season started on 4 October. All the growers are in the midst of harvest and they are busy. Here’s @raymondblanc @greatbritishapples ambassador picking some ripe gala apples.  Spent a day @boxford_farm @peakefruit learning about all the different varieties of apples and pears that are locally grown. Very surprised to find out that locally grown apples make up just 40% of the market.  How many have you tasted: Spartan, sunburst, red Prince, jumani, jazz, cox, Braeburn, gala or Bramley? My favs were the beautifully blush pink sunburst ( the cut one in the pics), red Prince and Spartan. You usually find these varieties in the mixed bags in supermarkets. BUT watch out for Magic Star, a new variety which is going to be one that everyone will go nuts for. 
So buy some British apples and pears. No wastage here, all the wonky fruit gets made into juice @copellajuice or animal feed. Sustainably grown, with little chemical sprays, low food miles and delicious.

#AD #SpanishChorizo is one of my favourites, love
#AD #SpanishChorizo is one of my favourites, love that bright red, paprika stained oil that oozes out when you cook it. 
It’s so versatile, you can use it in so many ways. Since it’s the summer, get your #chorizobbq on. 
Besides grilling these sausages on the bbq, you can cook some in a pan on the coals too. 
I made 3 recipes with these chorizo:
* Chorizo sandwich on Ciabatta 
* Chorizo hash with a double yolk fried egg 😱 (cooked in a pan) 
* Chorizo and tomato salad.  Recipes on my blog. If you’re have any other ideas on how to use chorizo, comment below.

This took me back to when I lived in Athens. Souvlaki for lunch was the regular order. @smashingplatesuk has brought this #Greek favourite to London. A fast food menu of grills, dips and other Innovations. Their gyros is well sourced from British farms and wrapped in a pillowy flat bread.  They use sustainable packaging too. Their new outlet in London Bridge is really handy for a quick bite before to catch the Uckfield train from platform 11.  #streetfood #foodpic #foodpicture #instafood #foodgasm #ecxfood #igfood #foodgawker #f52gram #food52  #foodspotting #igfood #igfoodie #instaeat #luxfood #foodblog #buzzfeat #yahoofood #foodism #thefeedfeed #eaterlondon #greekfood #invite

#Gifted Raw vegan chocolate anyone? Once, much lov
#Gifted Raw vegan chocolate anyone? Once, much loved by those who were following strange diets. Lovely to see that it is now more widely available and mainstream.  @loveraw is a #vegan chocolate brand that makes these cream filled chocolate wafer bars. They come in 3 flavours: Cre&m Wafer Bars, Butter Cups and M:lk Choc Bars. (#DairyFree)  Taste test: In my time judging chocolate, I’ve not found many raw chocolate bars that were well made as mostly were not demented well. The difference here is that there is a consistency in the  chocolate shell, without a hint of the fermentation.  These indulgent bars have a good crunch, a nice chocolate to filling ratio and I could eat the whole box. It might be vegan but you would not know from tasting it that they are #DairyFree.

#Competition When I lived in Athens, we used to get a regular souvlaki lunch delivery, since our office was not near any good tavernas. I miss my souvlaki.  Back in London, I found @theathenianuk does souvlaki deliveries. I ordered “The Beast” which includes pork gyros, halloumi fries, chips and a garlicky tzatziki sauce and a Greek Salad. The flavours transported me right back to those days in Greece. In lieu of flying off to the Greek Islands, I’ll settle for some familiar flavours, for now. 
You can #win a £30 voucher for a taste of Greece too. Just:
🔺Follow @eatcookexplore and @theathenianuk 
🔺Like this post
🔺Tag some friends in the comments ( each one is an extra entry)
🟡 Ends midnight on Sunday, 23 May 2021. One winner will be randomly picked. The voucher can be spent in their shops or via deliveroo.
