Weekend musings…

I enjoyed the Waitrose magazine’s (current issue) foodie timeline featuring trends over the last 25 years.

As an avid foodie, who was always checking out the latest food pop-ups/restaurants in London between 2014-2019, this article certainly made me smile. Particularly the queueing experience at popular new restaurants and then having to share tiny plates with a group of people - iykyk 🙃

It also made me feel so grateful to live in such a fab city, with an amazing array of cafes, restaurants and food markets 😋

Even though I eat out far less now, the London food scene (as well as my travels) has given me so much inspiration for trying out so many new recipes and cuisines at home - some of which I then simplified or adapted and have now become go-to dishes on busy days 🙂

The article is also a great reminder of how the food and drinks market, just like every other industry, is constantly changing and influenced by many trends. Some great and fun, others just slightly mad 😅
