first time at your blog! i really like your approach to eating, and i agree wholeheartedly with using real food and ingredients! (you should visit farmers' markets though, so much cheaper and you get to support local farmers at the same time.. borough's become a sort of tourist trap imo)

Welcome! You're right about a lot - eat well, use real food, support small producers, and borough is horribly touristy but it still has great quality food, better imo than any of the farmers markets I've bought from which are local - Oval, Brixton...
