28-50 Wine Bar & Kitchen Fondue Festival | Review

Both Dann and Jupiter went to a Fondue Festival at the 28-50 Wine Bar & Kitchen, who do yearly Fondue Festivals in London. These take place each Tuesday through February, March and April. We’re not sure if Festival makes a lot of sense in this use, as it’s not really a Festival and more of a sit down dinner but only there for a limited amount of time. Dann really wanted to go, so we both grabbed up some tickets and figured we’d see what happens. Neither of us had been to 28-50 Wine Bar & Kitchen, nor had we had Fondue before, so it was an interesting time.

The first thing worth noting is that you are going to need to go to the Fondue Festival with a friend, as it’s a minimum of two people per fondue. The price is set at £34.95 per person, stacking as you add more people to it. The festival tickets include a set menu – we weren’t even shown a normal menu – which you get to eat from. The venue itself is very upscale, we were quite under dressed, and is a dark and moody place.

Bone Daddies – Japanese Soul Food | Restaurant Review

It’s no secret that I love Japanese food, I adore a good ramen, a well made broth, a bunch of different toppings. I like eating a variety of food, but after months of lockdown, I just wanted a bowl of ramen. I was absolutely delighted that Bone Daddies in London opened back up (with social distancing measures) to serve some food I hadn’t had in far too long. Dann and I went along to the first weekend they opened back up, hoping to be warmed on a rainy day by a nice bowl of soup.

Coco & Vanilla Cocktails | Review

[Ad- gifted products] Since lock down began, the want for delicious cocktails sent directly to your door has increased. Jupiter is not much of a beer drinker and loves mixed drinks. Dann enjoys beer but spends a lot of time mixing his own drinks and enjoying the balance and showman ship that comes with creating your own. When Coco & Vanilla announced they’d be mailing out some of their cocktails, creating their own and allowing us to drink them in our own home, we were delighted! We both sampled three of their cocktails and want to talk about each one.

Pork Schnitzel & Salad (Munchies Guide to Dinner) | Recipe

One Recipe a Week has been continuing strong in our household! This time, we took a look at the Munchies Guide to Dinner. This cookbook is for people who are just learning how to cook. The first few pages talk about properly storing your food and the book itself is mainly basics like roasting a chicken, making your own salad dressing and cooking lasagna. Lots of these recipes are stuff most people know how to do, but we decided to take a look at Pork Schnitzel. This recipe had a goal, like most recipes in the book – specifically to learn how to bread various things. At the start of each recipe in the book, it states what your main takeaway is.

Sloppy Jane (My Drunk Kitchen) | Recipe

Another addition to our Recipe a Week project, this time with My Drunk Kitchen, a Youtube cooking show that has branched out greatly and even produced a couple of cookbooks. We had the original My Drunk Kitchen cookbook, which isn’t actually a cookbook per say. The book is more of an inspirational, cooking adjacent book about the author, Hannah Hart, and what she has learned over the years. Her Youtube videos are pretty similar to this – sort of half recipes that always end in a meaningful way, giving you something to take away from it. With that in mind, we took inspiration from her recipe, which was more like a list of ingredients, and wrote our own out of it.
