London is hot hot hot and humid to boot. I am positively enjoying my supermarket trips at the moment as I linger and closely examine every object in the frozen section.

Last autumn I discovered that it was possible to make an “instant” steamed pudding in the microwave which cooked in a matter of minutes. It is a perfect short cut; especially if your kitchen does not have an extractor fan to get rid of the clouds of steam, and 3 or 4 minutes of microwave [...]

I love gyoza and whenever I go to Chinatown I buy a few packets of wrappers to keep in the freezer until I next have a gyoza craving, I could make my own wrappers, but frankly life is far too short and the ready made ones are delicious, cheap and fuss free. Gyozas (or potstickers) [...]
