Food Heroes

Food Heroes

Keith Floyd - simply the best
Bruce Poole - great quality and skill personified
Rick Stein - for fantastic recipes, boundless enthusiasm, and for bringing an educated approach to food programming, that isn't always present.........
Nigel Slater - for a writing style that I don't think can be beaten
Giorgio Locatelli - because my wife fancies him, and he made her birthday by signing her menu, and coming out to say hello... (sometimes its the little things...)
Ross Hunter - owner of Surrey Hills Brewery - an old friend who followed his dream
Antonio Carluccio - his passion his food, and his country, are infectious
Eric and Sarah Guignord - who run the brilliant The French Table in Surbiton - my new favourite place! Great food and excellent service every time.


All of these are my food heroes, and many, many more

Jose - Bermondsey Street

A great Friday afternoon spent at Jose Pizarro's tapas bar Jose on Bermondsey Street.

At lunchtime it is strictly standing room only - so we aimed for after 2:00, and managed to get two stools at the end of the bar by the window - a perfect spot.
A great welcome straight away - a glass of cava - and then down to business!!
The menus are on two chalk boards behind the bar - and we did our best to work our way through them!!
All of dishes we tried were good - the stand out dishes sea bream a la Sevlliana, which included orange and olive, the padron peppers and fried chorizo piquillo.


The place has a really nice buzz to it - and all of the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. As we were there at the quietest point of the day it was also when staff went on breaks etc - and our waitress said good bye to us before she went on her break - and the new one was in place straight away.
A great way to spend a lazy afternoon - a little bit of Spain in the middle of Bermondsey - and Bermondsey is all the better for it!
