Happy moments this week have been:
1. Lots of home-juiced juice to try and say adios to this irritating cold
2. Coffee from Fix 126
3. Oval Space Cinema Club
4. A night tucked up in bed catching up on blogs on an ill Monday
5. Wong's Happiness Diner
Happy Friday tout le monde!

Citrus Polenta Cake
B has instigated a bit of a polenta obsession round here lately. And he's done such wonderful things with it I had to prove myself by using it too. Sharing a delicious slice of orange...

Decadently decorated chocolate meringues

1. Scented narcissi decorating the flat
2. Chocolate muffins from the lovely L
3. Perfect coffee from Shoreditch Grind
4. Outnumbered
5. Hawksmoor dinner with maman & papa
Have you all survived the week? I hope there's been many happy seconds for you too....

Hazelnut & Nutella Biscuits
In a Valentine's theme...
But I realise that I have missed Valentine's Day and so that this is perhaps no longer relevant. But these rather large treats are heart shaped, so there's...

Boopshi's
I think almost every other London-based food blogger has already told you to go to Boopshi's. So I'm going to be super unoriginal and do the same. Stripped back and bare (but without...

Happy Valentine's Day tout le monde!
5 small happy moments from this week:
1. Discovering Coco Cafe
2. Superior Seagull Eggs from my Valentine
3. Graffiti decorating the streets on the walk to work
4. A glimpse of sunshine to remind us he's still alive up there
5. Hot water bottles at night
I hope today brings you love and happiness, and maybe the odd flower.

Rainbow Trout
So it seems that I've gone from an overdose of cake on this blog to an overdose of fish. I promise this will be the last one for a while. Please bear with me!

5 Things
I'm tired. It's been a long week. But it has also been a happy week:
1. G&T at The Wolseley
2. Starting and finishing Juan Pablo Villalobos' 'Down the Rabbit Hole'
3. Coffee, coffee, coffee
4. Looking at the view out from our flat on those nights I can't sleep
5. Noodle soup. Most days.
Hope you've all had a fabulous week.
X...

Caramelised Orange Crumble Tarts
Too many components to that title. And I was beginning to feel resentful to all those components as my entire afternoon was spent following step after step after step. Flicking...
