Many many years ago, there was a theatre at this location.I popped in today, caught up with Alex the manager and had a nose around.Town and Gown Pub & Theatre - Cambridge is opening on Tuesday 15 September. I am booked in for dinner on Tuesday so she watch this space! #cambridge #cambridgefoodtourofficial #cambridgefoodtour #omgb #loveuk #camblocal #visitcambridge #cambridgefood #foodtours #gourmet #eatcambridge #foodiegerla #gerladeboer #travel #loveoffoodandtravel #travelblogger #foodblogger #globetrotter #townandgowncambridge

What a fantastic night last Saturday! It was almos

What a fantastic night last Saturday! It was almost 6 months on the dot that I had lunch here celebrating my birthday.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I waited with suspense to dine here again as it took @restaurant22_cambridge a little bit longer than other restaurants to open again. The team wanted to make sure that everybody would feel safe. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Alex and Sam have worked hard to make it work. They reduced the number of tables, put a bottle of sanitiser on every table and the team is wearing visors so you can see their smiles! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As in the previous post; @samcarter_22 food was always amazing, but he smashed it last Saturday. We love the Asian touch in some of the dishes. Not always obvious, but then there is that little surprise under one of the snacks. Peanut butter! ⁠⠀
By now you probably know that I love Asian food, so this was right up my street!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Check out the delicious food in the images. The description of the dishes are under the images on the Facebook page of @cambfoodtour.
⁠⠀
If you haven't been to @restaurant22_cambridge yet, get booking. And if you have been. Make sure you get a table soon. The food and the front of house team will make sure it is an unforgettable experience.⁠⠀

The best roast chicken? According to Tristan Welch

The best roast chicken? According to Tristan Welch roasted on a spit!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Last Saturday I was out with guests on the Taste Cambridge (@cambfoodtour ) when I bumped into @the_tristan_welch from @parkers_tavern . Chatting about various things, we came to Sunday lunch. He had just picked up beef for his Sunday lunch from @millroadbutchers . When I mentioned that I would head there for a chicken to roast on my @biggreenegguk using the @letzqspit , he said " The best roast chicken is spit-roasted".
⁠⠀
And it was! I used a wet marinade with Chinese 5 spices, sesame oil, garlic, soya sauce, lime juice and orange juice. It was very tasty, but next time I will experiment with a dry rub and spritz it whit soya sauce. I started off on 140 C. After 30 minutes I increased the heat to 170 C. To crisp it up I pushed up the heat to 190 C for 15 minutes. Cooking time is depending on the size of the chicken. It took me 90 minutes to cook the @suttonhoochicken . Whilst it was resting I grilled my white aubergines. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Tip: pop a grid under the chicken so you can cook your potatoes or vegetables whilst roasting the meat. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The chicken was lovely and moist, tasty and smokey without even using wood! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Keen to get your hands on one of the @letzq in the UK? Contact Nic via @meatsmokefire⁠⠀
⁠p.s. I have gone through many temperature thermometers, but the @salteruk digital one designed by @thehestonblumenthalteam is my favourite. It’s featured in the second picture.

"Mum, can I have pizza please before I move to Lon

"Mum, can I have pizza please before I move to London on Saturday?" ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The final cut for a while for this lady last night. I have been so busy touring his week, that I forgot to buy Mozarella so I used Burrata instead. @sainsburys and @tescofood stock Burrata from @galbaniuk and it has become a staple in our house. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I posted this image on stories and somebody asked where I bought the pizza cutter. Unfortunately, this amazing sharp pizza cutter from Bibury is no longer in stock. You might want to search the internet as it is the best pizza cutter I have. ⁠⠀

Eat the rainbow! It's not just pretty, but healthy

Eat the rainbow! It's not just pretty, but healthy too!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I love colourful creations on my plate. You not only eat to feed, but you want to look at something pretty too. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The tomatoes and salad are thriving on the allotment. The best time to water and pick tomatoes is early in the morning. On sunny days like this, I often pick them at lunchtime. They aren't only lovely and sweet, warmed up by the balmy sun too!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When you grow rocket yourself, you know it is very peppery. I prefer this, but quite a few of my friends not. Grow it in the shade, and you'll have a milder flavour. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Today's 5-minute salad was rocket salad tossed in virgin olive oil, lovely sweet heirloom tomatoes, chilled watermelon and feta piled on top.
⁠⠀
To finish it off, I sprinkled Zatar, Sumac and rocket flowers over this refreshing salad and drizzled it with more virgin olive oil. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Bon Appetit!⁠⠀
p.s. Lucky me! I found leftover chilled sorrel soup in the fridge. A perfect drink to cool me down.⁠⠀

Phew! It's a scorcher again! Just as hot as in Thailand today. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I have been a bit too enthusiastic planting 32 aubergine plants this year. Every plant has at least 8 fruits, so I have to work my way through some recipes. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This delicious fragrant Thai green curry is made with White Aubergines and the fantastic curry paste from @yausfood_official , a local company producing free from food. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
My husband loves buying me foodie gifts, but he took me by surprise coming back from work with ready-made sauces and dips. You should know better. I make everything from scratch. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I am glad he did as their sauces are amazing. No way back now! Saving time with these delicious sauces will be a thing now at our house.⁠⠀
