A week off from work and staying in the UK meant that me and the boyfriend have eaten non-stop for 9 days! We began our holiday with a few days in London, on the Sunday we took a leisurely stroll up to Queens Park for a visit to the farmers and for brunch to help me fend off need for breakfast pancakes that have been craving about for a few weeks.
I have mentioned the farmers market in a previous post but we went for some of the tasty salad, more flavourful than any supermarket brought stuff and fishcakes with lime, chilli and coriander. The fish had been caught on the Friday, made it into fishcakes on the Saturday and eaten on the Sunday. Fresh!
We also popped along to a bar/restaurant/brunch place called The Alice House, it has a sister establishment in West Hampstead that we have visited for drinks. It is really cute, the decor is bare brick walls, nice artist prints and comfy sofas. We sat in the Library by the window to people watch.
I went for the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, with some scrambled eggs on the side and managed to convince Mat that it is a winning combination by forcing him to try it! He went for the classic fry up but said I could definitely make the salty sweet pancakes for him in future - how kind of him!
We also popped along to the local Sainsburys and spotted the Jamie Oliver range of cookbooks out in paperback, plus they were 2 for £12 so we picked up four in the hope of expanding our recipe repertoire but if not they make a pretty set on the shelf!
