#17 - LONDON FOOD TREATS!!

oh yeah! welcome to my first "LONDON FOOD TREATS", inspired by the fact that one of my students is going to london tomorrow (so lucky!!)...have a good time and try some of these...

#1 Frijj Milkshake

heaven in a big plastic bottle. the tastiest, thickest milkshake in the world with limited flavours. i want one NOW!!




#2 Krispy Kreme Donuts - Selfridges and Harrods

THE BEST donuts in the world! sweet, light and possibly the most delicious things in the world.




#3 Turkish sweets in Selfridges

as you can tell i have spent a lot of time in selfridges! and this counter is fantastic. sweets from turkey are delicious. turkish delight (especially with pistachios!), baklava, mint tea. a really original taste



#4 Macaron!!

while i was looking at selfridges website i just found this. macarons from the famous french chef pierre herme, who just opened a boutique in selfridges this week...check out the picture!




#5 Cadbury's Creme Egg

a childhood favourite of mine. i wrote in an earlier post about the sweetest food in the world but i was wrong. THIS is the sweetest food in the world, and delicious! get one fast because cadbury's was just bought by an american food company so soon the classic taste will change!




#6 Marks and Spencer Cheesecake

from the british supermarket Marks and Spencer, a delicious new york style cheesecake! this is the best cheesecake i have ever eaten...try the chocolate and vanilla



#7 Chips in Pitta with Chilli Sauce

available from any kebab shop in london (you can find them from the big chunk of meat cooking in the window) this is my favourite food in the world. chips wrapped in greek pitta bread, covered in chilli sauce. i really need to go to london soon



#8 Marks and Spencer Houmous

houmous is a greek dip made from chick peas, olive il, garlic and lemon juice. and this one has black olives too! this is really good, just buy a pot and some bread and sit in the park and eat it.

#16 Gaby's - 30 Charing Cross Road

just up the road from Trafalgar Square, i used to eat here almost every day when i worked at the Albery Theatre. this is like a New York deli / middle eastern cafe which is always busy. the food is great, pasta salads, deserts and felafel! if you go you have to try the felafel ( deep fried balls of chick peas and spices) wrapped in a pitta bread (with chilli sauce!) is the best thing on the menu, closely followed by their pecan pie, which is a truly fantastic sweet treat. or maybe you can try the baklava (turkish sweets).
i would still love to eat there every day!
