Sausages in London
Where do you think are the best places to buy sausages in London?
I always used to go to Simply Sausages, but now they are mail order only (with an inferior range supplied to Waitrose).
I have bought sausages from Biggles and Borough Market, but they're a bit out of my way these days.
What is one tip that you learned about cooking that was simple but made a huge difference? [old]
1. If you have a bit of wine left over at the end of the bottle, don't just drink i t for the sake of it. Make a couple of ice cubes with it - perfect for dropping into a dish when you want a bit of flavour but it's not worth opening a new bottle.
2. Never cut the ends off asparagus tips, as you won't be able to tell where the tough bit starts and ends. Instead, just snap off the end, and it will break naturally in just the right place.
3. When making a bechemel sauce, always take the pan off the heat each time you add a new ingredient. Adding ingredients directly into the pan causes lumps.
Starbucks, London- flat white
I would never go to Starbucks, but for the best flat white in London, it's worth checking out Flat White in Berwick Street, Soho.
