just quick note to say: i have in fact not died or given up on this blog.
my life has just been in total chaos due to moving house, working 14 hour shifts and coming home to no internet & a broken computer (also no clean clothes, furniture, food etc ...but that's by the by).
anyways, interweb arrives today, new laptop this week sometime.
so v.soon i will make up for this woeful blog performance with an avalanche of news, annecdotes and recipes inspired by my new nahm-kitchen-bound existence.
watch this space.

Masterchef
I got the the final 3 of Masterchef 2009 and narrowly missed out to Mat Follas - the deserved winner on the day (see his blog link below).
It was an amazing experience. See the 'masterchef 2009' post for my reflections.

Blogs & sites i like
Favourite London restaurants right now...
- St John - the best of British
- Viet Grill - stand out Viet option in Shoreditch
- Moro (&Morito next door)- Spanish-Moorish institution still packed every lunch & dinner
- The Ledbury - probably top of my list of London Michelin eateries
- Beruit Express - fast food Lebanese style in the Edgware Rd
- Mandalay - great family Burmese place on Edgware Road
- Tayyabs - Pakistani food superior to almost of the crap u find on nearby Brick Lane (but be ready to queue)
Favourite London shops to find interesting ingredients - clicking link should show where they are
- Loon Moon - excellent selection of fresh Thai produce in Chinatown
- Billingsgate Fish market - it's brilliant! bargain fish & quite a spectacle
- Lebanese supermarket on Edgeware Rd stocking every Middle Eastern ingredient you could imagine
- L.Booth - my fav shop at Borough Market, it sells loads of interesting ingredients & everything is top quality
- My local (& and possibly London's best) fruit n veg store - run by a Kurdish hero named Bora
- TFC - a huge Turkish supermarket in Hackney with bakery & butcher.
- Vietnamese supermarkets in Hackney - there's about 4 right here. they're cheap and stock great ingredients
- Taj Stores - well known & awesome Bangladeshi store on Brick Lane, has a massive array of spices & fruit n veg from all over Asia

It's bad enough moving house, but all that AND your working hours must be a real nightmare. You wait til you try and find something! ;-))
It's nice to know you're still here, lol.
Was wondering where you'd got to. Nice to see you back.
Poor you :-)
