Chapter 112: an extra helping
Final chapter from Terry's Eating Places: "Chapter 112: an extra helping"
My nephew Don sent me this list which I read. The problem with such lists is that the author becomes stretched in trying to make something out of nothing. I wonder if the anonymous author actually lived through the fifties (or did any basic research – Ian). My comments are in italics. Can you remember ??? Yes, I can. Vividly. (more…)

Chapter 111: Afters
From Terry's Eating Places: "Chapter 111: Afters"
I have been privileged, over many years, to have been accompanied on my travels by local colleagues who knew the best places to eat and the best recipes to choose in their native land. I had dinner in the Bazaar in Cairo with Osman Mahmoud Osman and shared a Mansaf. I had Moule Mariniere and Raie Au Buerre Noir with Julian Botras in Rouen. I lunched with Della Valle in Milan and chose Marinara al…

Chapter 108: Bringing it all home to me
New from Terry's Eating Places: "Chapter 108: Bringing it all home to me"
It came natural to me, whenever I returned from some foreign trip and, having been introduced to some new food, that I should try to replicate the experience in our own kitchen. This I did at every opportunity. Whenever possible, I would ask the staff in a foreign restaurant for a recipe of something that I had been served for the first time. Sometimes, they refused, but on other occasions, they…

In 1996, my son Ian and I made a film for The London Metal Exchange.

There was a small party from the staff of LME, among them, Ray Sampson, who was their Public Relations Officer who had commissioned us. Brian Reidy, their Public Relations…

New from Terry's Eating Places: Chapter 105: Dinner at The House of Commons
In January 1986, one of our dining club friends invited us to dine at the House of Commons. The occasion was the thirtieth annual dinner of the Faculty of Architects and Surveyors. We were dressed in our best evening clothes for the occasion. It was interesting to wander through the passageways of the Houses of Parliament to reach the restaurant. The food served was most enjoyable and there…

New from Terry's Eating Places: Chapter 103: Dining in Bethnal Green
For some years, we had an office-come-apartment in Bethnal Green. We were in an ideal position to shop for good food. To the north, there was Ridley Road Market where we could buy fresh vegetables, fresh meat, fresh fish and sausages of all sorts. A trip into town on the Number 8 bus took us to Berwick Street Market where we could buy the finest cheeses. On a Sunday we were in walking…

Chapter 101: Nouvelle Cuisine
From Terry's Eating Places: "Chapter 101: Nouvelle Cuisine" #Cannes
For several years, I went to Cannes for the film and television festival. It was called MIP-TV, (Le Marche International des programmes de Television). There we would spend five or six days in a decent hotel, with a wide variety of restaurants at our disposal. Our boss used to stay at The Carlton Hotel, probably the most expensive on the front. On one occasion, he invited the rest of us to…

We were booked into the George V, one of the most prestigious hotels in France. We had an excellent lunch in the hotel, but then one might expect to. We wished to go out on the town for dinner, so outside the hotel, we hailed a…

New from Terry's Eating Places: Chapter 98: Eating out in Estartit
In the early 80’s we holidayed in Estartit on the east coast of Spain. There we rented an apartment which meant that we could cater for ourselves. We could buy fresh meat and vegetables at a small supermarket a few yards away as well as the market at the nearby town of Torroella de Montgrí. The foodstuffs were cheap and we were able to cook some excellent meals. We were also able to sample…
