Chestnut Festival at Frontline 3rd October


Charlotte, Rohan and I are back at Frontline in Paddington on Sunday 3rd October with a feast of Chestnuts and Wild Boar. The Pop-ups have been so much fun, we are hoping we can continue to do them on the first Sunday of each month.

I was in Italy last weekend for the harvest of the Pinot Noir- the grapes were wonderfully healthy. We made some delicious grape schiaccia which is made with the wine grapes and is deliciously sticky but quite savoury. I hope we can make some for the 3rd. I have added some photos at the bottom...
