Borough Market

Innovative sign that shows the different market areas

My favourite lunch place in London is not a café, it’s not a restaurant and it’s not at home… It’s Borough market!
You’ll find whatever you’re looking for here, all wrapped in good, old market environments. Such as…

…Turkish delights…

…chocolate…

…and lots of people looking to find today’s lunch or dinner meal.

We found our lunch; french toast with raclette cheese and wheatgrass juice.

Dig in! :)

Pasta Carbonara

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

I wouldn’t call myself a food blogger. But, when you’re asked for a recipe by a lovely friend, what do you do?
Blog it, of course.

You’ll need:
+ Tagliatelle pasta
+ Lean ham
+ Bacon
+ Single cream
+ Mushrooms
+ Lemon
+ Garlic
+ Salt
+ Pepper


+ Wild rocket
+ Plum tomatoes
+ Feta cheese

+ Baguette
+ Parmesan

How to make it
Place pasta in a saucepan of boiling water, add salt and let boil for 10 minutes. Strain immediately.
Cut the mushrooms and the bacon, and fry them before adding cubes of lean ham.
When properly fried, add a box of single cream (or a mix of cream and milk for a healthier choice).
Add pieces of garlic and squeeze half of a lemon over the pan. Spice up with salt and pepper if needed.
Let it boil for some minutes. Mix pasta and meat sauce in a bowl before serving.

Serve with salad, baguette and parmesan.

Bon appetit!

Hope you’re tempted now, Mari :o)
