A good thread of cheese recommendations in the comments for Neal's Yard Dairy here

Felt AMAZING to break the restaurant seal at #kilnsoho - it was like a big warm revitalising hug, which is what we all need. Huge congrats to all the team for pulling it off so elegantly & safely - go & get the blood cake soup, & then mix it with leftover pork&crab noodles 🔥😍

Anyone in need of a quiet bookable pubby spot in c. London for drinks n snax (e.g. ACE scotch eggs) we went to the Windmill Mayfair last week &it was like a lovely little oasis in the heat. Well done Team Windmill for managing the current weird service situation (😷,etc) so well👏

In June, on my birthday, we had a miscarriage. It was the day before Father's Day. On the way to the hospital, the radio played 'Sweet Child O' Mine'. Hadn't really talked about it much, but as this piece says, we should more often. telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…

We caught up with inspiring young chef @amberlfrancis, Senior Sous Chef at Bermondsey Larder & Youth Ambassador for Craft Guild of Chefs, to discover more about the resilience of working in the restaurant world during lockdown & her thoughts on women in the industry👩‍🍳👉 womeninthefoodindustry.com/interview-ambe…

The tier restrictions, 10 p.m. curfew, and new job support scheme will combine to devastating effect without further financial intervention from the government trib.al/t05ZuYb

This about sums everything up - I’m behind everything HospoDemo is doing to encourage the govt to provide this giant of an industry with more financial support i.e. that is PROPORTIONATE to the amount of restrictions it has had placed on it vs minute no. of Covid cases from it

Folks, we’re doing this mega cookalong again, our December line-up’s awesome & we’re raising much-needed funds for Hospitality Action to help them help the industry. (Last time we raised nearly £60k for ChefsinSchools & 1500+ people joined us...) Come and feast! belazu.com/belazu-virtual…

As Ottolenghi also said (I think) in this BBC Radio 4 Today interview, we might survive this but many others won’t. Yet more misery unfolding before our eyes in terms of totally unavoidable job losses and business failures

Even more incredible to continue to take part in this, given the financial strain on restaurants at the moment 👏

Yesss - so proud of you @MallikaBasu_ (and so good to learn from everyone below too 👏)

Comfort food shd really be called trauma food. It’s what you cook to remind yourself you’re alive when you are not quite sure this is true. I wrote about comfort cooking feat. ⁦Lucy Antal⁩ ⁦@EmilyRNunn⁩, ⁦Ryan Riley⁩ & Faraj Alnasser theguardian.com/food/2022/may/…

Up to a third of all food produced in London is estimated to be produced in Park Royal, whose industrial area comprises almost 2,000 businesses which together employ over 40,000 people in food manufacturing, car repairs, and prop houses trib.al/hfaSHAo
