Paul A Young's Fine and Innovative Chocolates (Londonist)

Paul A Young's Fine and Innovative Chocolates

Recently, Paul and team were kind enough to give Londonist a tour of their Islington shop and allow us to sample the best chocolate we’ve ever tasted. Witnessing firsthand their “skill over machinery” approach (no digital thermometers, just fingers and mouths and experience) left us speechless. Of course, we must admit that we took every opportunity to cram our mouths with yummy chocolaty goodness as politely and discreetly as possible. We were similarly awed by Paul’s focus on seasonality (a Pimms and lemonade chocolate for summer? Yes!) and his use of fresh and real ingredients (no flavour syrups here – everything is made in shop, by hand). Splendid.

Scrambling Eggs: the interview (Qype does London)

Scrambling Eggs: the interview

August 27th 2008










If breakfast doesn’t involve a tin opener or a deep fryer then I think you’re off to a good start and the NHS will be better off too. I know its going to be a challenge to convince many Brits that there is a better breakfast than a fry up but I think that’s because there aren’t many cafes offering an attractive alternative. I know I’d prefer to eat a fry up than a plastic tasting low-fat muffin from a coffee chain store. The most important thing for me is the quality of the ingredients and knowing that the food I eat has been made with some care and imagination. In summer I love sourdough toast with olive oil, fresh tomato, basil and cracked pepper, and in winter, buttermilk pancakes with bacon and maple syrup.

August 18th 2008










So yesterday, a couple of my crazier friends and I ran all over Thorpe Park - home of Samurai, Colossus, Nemesis Inferno, Logger’s Leap, Slammer, Rush, Vortex, and various other pleasure machines with names inspired by professional wrestlers – for a fun-filled day of rides, splashes, bad food, gratuitous screeching and tons more laughs than are usually summoned on an average Sunday afternoon (in my postcode anyway).
