Building a Greek Mezze Table
Mezze is not a starter course. It is a way of structuring a whole meal, and ordering it as though it were a prelude to a main is the commonest mistake we see.

Ouzo: How to Drink It Without Wincing
Almost every bad ouzo experience has the same cause: somebody drank it as a shot. Nobody in Greece does this. Ouzo is a slow drink, taken with food, over an hour or more, diluted. How it is actually done Small tall glass. Ouzo poured in. Cold water added, roughly one to one, though this is taste rather than law. It turns cloudy. This is the louche, and it happens because the anise oils dissolve in alcohol but not in water, so they come out of solution the moment you dilute.... Read more...

Greek brunch, which is not a gimmick Greek cooking is unusually well suited to the middle of the day. It is built on olive oil, vegetables, grains, eggs, yoghurt and grilled things,... Read more...
Where to Eat Near St Pancras Before the Eurostar
Eurostar check-in closes 45 to 60 minutes before departure. Which means that if you arrive at St Pancras with a comfortable margin, you are left with a strange amount of time and a choice between a departure lounge sandwich and the concourse. There is a third option, and it is a five to eight minute walk. The walk Nonos is at 112 Judd Street, WC1H 9NT. Leave St Pancras by the Euston Road exit, head south down Judd Street, keep going. Five minutes without luggage, eight with a case. Tell... Read more...
