Ottolenghi - fresh cakes and pastries are also available.
 If you fancy a good quality food that is free from preservatives and food colouring - Ottolenghi is the answer. They source their ingredients locally. As Yotam Ottolenghi says 'Our food is closer to the source, uncomplicated, unadulterated, emanating from genuine."
Simples.
Frank's cafe with amazing views- is located in Peckham Rye. Serving delicious daily specials just ashamed that we missed the burgers.Avoid going on Saturdays and when it's raining. So far the best bar in Peckham.

All day long post card

Me and my better half try to do something special every 26th to celebrate our anniversary, so this month, with a tight budget I made this Home Made puzzle/postcard!
I can say it was a success :) every couple hours my husband was texting saying that he found another piece and asking for clues! 
 

All you need:

  • a single face postcard (the prices go from £0.50 to £1.20)
  • scissors
  • a pencil
  • a marker pen (something like a Sharpies)  

First write your postcard was normal, but ideally with a marker pen. Then with a pencil draw your puzzle outlines and cut then.
Mix them and have fun hiding them away. I asked the waiter to put the last piece of my puzzle with the bill when we went for dinner! My husband face? PRICELESS

Home made cristalized orange



This was a great way to get rid of that couple of oranges that where turning into "prunes"!
I just slice them as thin as I could and put in a pan with 2 parts water to 3 parts sugar and let them turn into caramel. The cold them in a rack and sprinkle with sugar to avoid the to stick together and voila, a great treat! and don't forget to add a little water to the caramel left in the pan and you will have a amazing syrup for you crepes and cakes!
