Hi all!
I know I've done a couple of tags in a short space of time, but I love them! I think they're a really good way for people to get to know the person behind a new blog. I also really love food so this is a perfect one for me! If there are two things I talk about most of the time, it is books - which I've already done a blog tag on - and food. So here we go!
1. What's your favourite breakfast?
You can't beat a good ol' crispy bacon sandwich on soft fluffy white bread with lashings of butter, but as I know that is pretty unhealthy, the breakfast I most enjoy is boiled eggs and avocado on seeded toast. I post it so much on Instagram that my friends laugh about it now.
2. How do you drink your coffee?
I'm sorry but I don't. So many times I have attempted to get into coffee but I just can't. I went through a phase of drinking really milky, sugary cappuccinos when I worked in a restaurant just for the caffeine boost, but I am a tea gal through and through, and I take that with just a splash of milk and no sugar.
3.What's on your favourite sandwich?
Ooh that's tricky! I'm not really a sandwich person for the most part, but I do like a Mediterranean sandwich, with mozzarella and pesto. Ooh and I love the bacon, brie and caramelised onion toasties from cafe nero.
4. Soup or salad?
I would have to say salad. I do like a good soup, but it has to be home-made, I don't like tinned soup at all. I am leaning towards salad right now because it's really muggy and humid as I right this,and anyone who'd eat soup in this weather is MAD!
5. What's your favourite cookbook?
I tend to buy all the cookbooks ever, and then get all my recipes online. I love the BBC Good Food website, but if I had to pick an actual book, Clean Eating Alice's new book is amazing for some healthy and tasty ideas!
6. No more sweets, or no more hearty foods?
I'd definitely say no more sweets. I don't have a sweet tooth at all, apart from the odd treat, but I do love good wholesome comfort food, especially in winter. I'm discovering that what I eat is definitely determined by the weather.
7. What's your favourite cuisine?
I would have to say either Italian or English, I love pasta but not pizza, but I also love - as I've just said - traditional English comfort food such as a roast or fish and chips.
8. What's your favourite food movie?
I didn't even know that was a thing! I don't really have one.
9. What's your most guilty pleasure?
Probably some form of takeaway. I try not to order them very often, but maybe once every couple of months I'll have a Chinese takeaway and I love it but I also hate it. Bloating is not my friend.
10. What's your greatest inspiration source?
Recipes online or dishes I've seen on menus in restaurants. I love to cook, it's calming to me and I just love it. I will always try recipes I like the look of. They don't always turn out really well but sometimes they do. This is a fish burger, oven-baked chips and salsa I made, and it was really good!
11. Cooking at home or going out for dinner?
I'd probably say going out for dinner just because I HATE the amount of washing up that making a complicated dish produces. I do love to cook for my boyfriend - he once said my risotto was better than any he's made, which is a HUGE compliment from him, he loves to cook - and I often cook for my nan. But you can't being waited on hand and foot when you go out.
12. High end or low profile?
Probably a bit of both. I don't really know what that means in relation to food tbh.
13. What's your favourite restaurant?
Ooh so many! I love Marconato in Hoddesdon and Bite east in Stirling. Marconatos is an Italian which does a ton of different and interesting meats, and Bite East is - obviously - an Eastern restaurant which does REALLY weird foods, but I just get the simple stuff.
14. I do my grocery shopping at:
Anywhere nearby. Usually Tesco or Sainsburys.
15. The tastiest food I've ever eaten was:
Oh my, I've eaten so much tasty stuff in my life. My Nan and my boyfriend are great cooks, as is my sister and her partner. I've also eaten at a lot of amazing restaurants but I think the blue cheese and chicken risotto my boyfriend makes is fabulous.
16. What's your favourite cocktail?
All of the cocktails that include gin. Love me some gin. I used to be OBSESSED with a cocktail from Monterey Jacks called a Jam and Gin, which was just gin with soda and raspberry coulis.
17. Coffee with George Clooney or Heston Blumenthal?
I'd have tea with Heston. He just seems kind of interesting.
18.What should not be missing in your kitchen?
A fridge. Even if you don't have anything to cook on, you can buy stuff which is ready to eat and you'll be fine.
19. What's your favourite snack?
It changes depending what mood I'm in. Right now I'm loving Jacob's salt and vinegar cracker crisp things. I don't know what they're actually called, sorry!
20. What's on your pizza?
Ham and pineapple. Lots of both. It's the best and I will argue this to the death.
21. What food do you really dislike?
I'm not a fan of rice or mince. Chilli is my nightmare. It feels like baby food to me.
22. What's your favourite food blog?
It's not really a blog, but I get inspiration from Clean Eating Alice's Instagram.
23. What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?
I've eaten quite a lot of interesting stuff, but I have such a bad memory. I did have reindeer not that long ago, it was really nice!
24. What's on your food bucket list?
Just to cook all the recipes I've screenshotted, but that is going to take a long time! I also really want to go to a really fancy restaurant where you have to dress up one day.
25. I couldn't live without:
Meat! I have a dream of becoming vegetarian/vegan, but I just don't think I can do it!
There we go! Thank you for reading this, I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know any of your answers :)
Until next time,
Jo.
