Have a great Labor Day. We are at Venice, California #laborday
Creamy or Crunchy. Which side are you on. #TheGreatDebate
One of the greatest Emcee's I have worked with and now an author. @adamchristing new book is a great read. "The Laughter Factor" really captures his humor and his leadership.
A top notch tasting menu @holboxlosangeles last night. Here is Chef Gilberto Cetina giving it large with some Santa Barbara sea urchin.They definitely do deserve their Michelin 1*.
Here I am at @sushizanmai.la Any captions?
Today is my late Baba’s birthday. This is the gentleman who taught me what little patience I have and was a very kind and considerate surgeon and parent. I really, really miss him.
I bought a Japanese cheesecake @uncletetsu_us in L.A's K-Town. How many of you have tried this light and airy beauty before?
I was busy yesterday, so I just made me & @sazyrock a couple of cheesy sammies. She wanted to add some brightness to it, so used some basil from our aero garden. It actually worked really well. Who knew?
Santa Monica, California. It was the first place my beautiful wife took me too sixteen years ago. For breakfast, if I recall. Do you have a place that holds a special part of your heart.
I was feeling a bit ropey yesterday so @sazyrock ordered a Chinese take out (take away, in U.K speak) to cheer me up. It worked. I am now feeling much better. Sometimes all you need is comfort food. Mmmmm.
Years ago (2003?) I booked Michael's in Santa Monica.There was mistake, a female star already booked the whole place. They were great about it and sent us to another place and asked them to send the check to them. I was there last week. What's a restaurant done to make you feel as if you mattered?
Another walk. Listening to a book. Happy Saturday everybody. I hope you have the most fantastic day.
This should not and will not be tolerated. Not to the football players, not to the trainers, not to backroom staff not to the supporters. In fact not to anyone at all EVER. #f**kracism
An extraordinary book from one of my favorite recent podcast folks. Dr. Jeffrey H. Cohen, is the Professor of the Department of Anthropology at The Ohio State University and we talked in Season 13 about people who eat insects. His new book is coming out in September. I may well have done a blurb. 🙂
This amazing sauce from the UK is something I put on EVERYTHING. Well more or less (Except dessert of course). It was invented in 1895 by Frederick Gibson. It is a mix of spices, tamarind, molasses and other things. What kind of stuff do you find so delicious you have to have it on everything.
I went to the freezer yesterday & found a steak that I had brought back from an L.A steakhouse (I know, I know, but these days I can't eat a whole rib eye). I decided to use it in a Chinese style take-away dish. Chinese beef with peppers & onions. How would you use leftover steak from your freezer?
A very fun radio show with my chum @forkreporter. Celebrating his birthday, he took a select crowd to the excellent @descansorestaurant which serves very delicious Michoacán food next to the La Brea Tar Pits.
I had to order in for yesterday's lunchtime. This is a rice, ground beef & mushrooms stuffed chicken, hummus and Baba Ganoush. From @jerusalem_chicken. Very, very nice it was too.
Another beautiful day. Slightly upended by the most odd dream. I was moving to a new house with @sazyrock. We had a ring on the door bell and a lady telling us we had seven newborn dogs in our shed. She brought them in and they did what puppies do. Anyone had any clue what this means? If it does 🙂
That looks good
Whenever I don't have time to prepare a proper lunch, I just do this. Here's a clue "it's eeliy good". Yep. These eels from a Japanese market just need to be heated up in the oven and then served with rice and furikake (Japanese rice seasoning). Lovely stuff. What do you create for your go-to lunch?
I just bought a bar of Dubai chocolate to see what all the hype was about. It's very tasty. But, I can't understand all the Tik-Tok palava about it. Has anyone ever tried it?
I adore Ghugni
My perfect dish for a potluck. Chicken Tikka Masala. What would yours be?
Thank you
I always used to sit at Yasuda's station. Fun stuff.
I don't know Mythical Kitchen. Do you have a link
Today I was thinking "what would my final meal be?" Mine would be a fish & chip supper from a "chippy" with mushy peas & curry sauce. With all my family. While watching one of our favorite shows on Telly, while complaining about how much the others had on their plates. How about you?
Who would like to eat mentaiko. It's pollock roe which is removed from the fish and then marinated in chili pepper and salt and then left to ferment. I love the stuff. You?
A splendid meal @gokigen.torigen. We had about 20 skewers and some chicken karaage. The chicken skin was inevitably my favorite. And, I had it for dessert. But it was all very good. Can anyone tell me what my shirt is a combination of?
As have you
After my good medical news. I decided to pop into @versaillescubanfood to celebrate. I had some grilled chicken, fries, white rice and black beans. I could not have been happier. It filled the belly, and it filled the soul.
I am sorry to hear of that. It does indeed make life a struggle
I am delighted to say that my "Oligo" brain cancer is stable. Thank you to you all for asking and giving good wishes. And to everyone at the hospitals for their huge kindness to me and other patients. If you have opportunity go to www.oligonation.org to support and see their magnificent work
With a huge apology to @chefjwaxman I used his salsa verde recipe today, but I had to alter it for some of the herbs and other ingredients I had at home. Salsa verde. Served with skinless chicken thighs, dried lemons and chicken juice rice. Good stuff.
Goodbye Ozzy. When I lived in Birmingham, England I went to see you with some real fans. This was back in the late 1980s. I saw you a few times after that. You really were one of the rock & roll stars.
A very good brunch @birdiegsla. I really liked the desserts. Including a rice pudding, which everyone dived in to, everything else was rather on point too. I have been to @birdiegsla for dinner, which is very busy and fun. But, this brunch was 👍🏼
A very fun experience. I got to meet up with two school mates who I last saw in 1980. David was over here with students of his own. On a Summer expedition. Gail was living in Los Angeles and very, very close to me. Who knew. We went to @birdiegsla. For brunch. I'll post about that tomorrow.
Roast potatoes with gravy?
What’s on your menu this weekend?
Another fab day outside. I always use these times listening to podcasts or a book. Today, I have been listening to some Sherlock Holmes short stories read by Hugh Bonneviille. What do you like to hear when strolling?
What’s your favorite food movie?
Here is my recipe: www.simonmajumdar.com/onion-bhaji
Sage, marjoram and dill. I am going to using these herbs (being British, with a "h" of course. 🙂) today. How would you use them?
An enjoyable meal with friends at Carmel restaurant in LA. Plenty of things to enjoy but the Jerusalem Bagel was a hit with our group as were the mushroom cigar, octopus shawarma and more. Thanks to my new chums for starting our little food club — it’s like book club but for food.
Life 🙂
New shirt, new restaurant. Food pics tomorrow.
Who else likes getting flowers? I do.
I do remember. Great times.

We talk about Graham Kerr on #EatMyGlobe 😁 www.eatmyglobe.com/season-7/tv-...
I love Graham Kerr. I used to watch his shows when I was with my mother. When I was a child. And I have this book. But, can you see what's different about this? Thank you @producergirl for such a great present.
Very easy. You should try it
Yes.
The same thing. Different language in India
Pakora from the North. Bhaji from the western part. But, the same thing.
Here I used red. But I have used white onion many times.
My house
I bet it is. Love me some haggis.
I love making onion Bhaji's. They are a fritter from India. The batter is made of chickpea flour to which I add a mixture of turmeric, garam masala and a small amount of red chili powder. I then fry them until crisp and golden. Have you tried them and do you ever make other types of fritters.
Thank you 🙏
I love when listening to your episodes and the work you all put into it. Thank you. Always makes me anticipate the next episode and learn a thing or two along the way! Thank you, Simon, guests, and the folks behind the scenes!
Thanks for listening to season 13 of @EatMyGlobe.bsky.social. Thanks to my guests—Eric Adjepong, Condiment Claire, Paula Johnson, Lois Frank & Walter Whitewater—for chatting with me. And, much thanks to @producergirl.bsky.social & @sazyrock.bsky.social. I’m already working on season 14. Be warned 🙂
Feeling cheesy. What’s your favorite cheese?
I made some butter chicken and lamb curry for dear friends the weekend. That is all.

I recently dined at Holbox which has one of the best tasting menus I have had for quite some time. It’s hard to name favorites but if I had to, it would be the Dungeness crab taco. As you can see, I licked my plate clean. A very fine meal indeed. Fantastic stuff, Chef Gilbert.

I was "doing my steps" today and my thoughts were taken by a dream I had last night. I was an Angican priest and was with my wife and walking in a hospital asking patients to describe what they imagined heaven too look like. Rather vivid, rather wonderful. It made me wonder what dreams you recall?

Always a pleasure to try new Filipino restaurants. This time, my wife’s cousin treated us to a lovely meal @manilainasal. Surprised to find I’m related to the restaurant owner via my baba’s cousin who married the first Filipino opera singer to sing at the MET. Small world indeed. Tasty food too.

We took @drterrysimpsonmd and @producergirl to @meilin21 staggeringly good @club88oficial restaurant yesterday. It was just what they and we needed while we had great conversations. This was the "Black Pepper Strip Streak" made with Australian Wagyu. Bloody delicious. #simonstares

This #NationalOnionDay & #FoodHistory Friday, let’s talk about the #onion. Ancient Roman women used it in their beauty routine & people in the Middle Ages used it as presents or to pay for rent. Me? I love it in onion soup, onion rings & as base in curries. What’s your favorite onion-based dish?
Yep. I shared it. Honest

I just arrived back from my trip to Minnesota. What a great trip. I did my demo and then went to have so many good meals. Thanks to @ICCAchefs for inviting me. Amazing stuff. One of my favorites was at @hi_lo_diner,
Well, well. Look who I bumped into yesterday. I was visiting the original 5-8 Club (for a Juicy Lucy)in Minneapolis with some chums, and there was @chefaz with his own group. So nice to see him in his own environs.

I demo'd a Goan Vindaloo last night. This was made by the people who had become Catholic, by the colonization of the Portuguese and was based on the Portuguese dish which included pork, wine and garlic. I would like to thank Mike for the pictures and RJ Harvey for amazing help with everything.

Tonight, after drinks, I had dinner with my chums from the I.C.C.A @fhimlsmlp in Minneapolis. The chef has a lot of arrows to his bow. But his first appears to be his Moroccan background. These "lamb cigars". Like a pastilla, were the highlight for me.
Sometimes I just need to make wings. This time I made one of my favorites, Siichuan wings. The recipe will be available very soon. #recipes

You know one of my favorite times of the day is when I get to walk in the morning outside. Earbuds in, listening to a book or podcasts. It is my time. How about you lovely people?
