Mr Beaver and I have been hard at work on the old DIY malarkey the last few weekends and haven’t had much of a chance to enjoy each other’s company without paint smears, saw dust, eau de white spirit and the like. So… we’re going to hit Blackheath Village this Saturday night. Never been th...

I’m 99 per cent certain that I’m taking a flat on Archway Road in July, but I don’t know the area at all. A quick scout about today and it looked ok, but I need the collective Borg wisdom of FCL to tell me what’s good and what’s not. Where’s good to eat, drink, shops, gyms etc. An...

Has anyone ever done any cooking courses or stuff that are (a) Cheap (b) London based, and© not a bunch of poncey wank? I can cook, yeah, and don’t need a detailed recipe and set of scales, but I’m not that quick or confident at certain things. I’d like to be taught how to chop things prop...

Tuk Tuk Tuckshops?

Those rickshaw things that ply their business around the centre of town could make a lot more money by having a box on the front, or the back, full of stuff to sell. And I mean stuff like fags, crisps, water, chocolate, Rizlas, those hungry hippo things, and chewing gum – all the vital stuff you need when out ...

Know any good cookery classes?

Posted by agox about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 4 responses

I want to give someone a cookery class as a pres, and ideally go along with them. I have done a course with Eat Drink Talk in Clerkenwell and it was awesome, but a tad on the pricey side… are all cookery classes in London upward of 50-70 quid? I am looking at one-off classes of a couple of hours on an evening ...

A long time away it might seem but it’ll be snapping at our heels before we know it. So without any particular date or location in any mind at the moment I thought I would throw the idea to you wonderful FCLers for consideration. I was thinking, perhaps, everybody bringing grub or booze or both. Perhaps tartan...
