Phil's Food World: July 2015
http://philsfoodworld.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Independent restaurant reviews, recipes and food features. SO MANY PEOPLE have told me that they're "afraid" of cooking fish, but I always say the key is in the simplicity of it. My favourite methods are steaming or, as in this instance, poaching in an infused liquid - both quick, no fuss ways of cooking. If I have one key tip, it's to aim to almost undercook the fish, allowing the latent heat finish it off as you plate and take to the table - happy cooking! 1x Scottish haddock fillet, cut into chunks.

Phil's Food World: Review: Gusto, Edinburgh
http://philsfoodworld.blogspot.com/2015/05/review-gusto-edinburgh_30.html
Independent restaurant reviews, recipes and food features. Review: Gusto, Edinburgh. I’VE ALWAYS AVOIDED eating on George Street since moving to Edinburgh, mainly because previous outings have led me to conclude that you pay a high price for nothing especially … well, special. I genuinely swithered about accepting an invite to Gusto but thought I’d take a punt; you never know – previous perceptions can be proved wrong. Does carving require another tenner on the price or something? Phone: (0131) 225 2555.

Phil's Food World: Review: L'Escargot Bleu, Edinburgh
http://philsfoodworld.blogspot.com/2015/05/review-lescargot-bleu-edinburgh.html
Independent restaurant reviews, recipes and food features. Review: L'Escargot Bleu, Edinburgh. WE DROVE PAST L’Escargot Bleu a couple of weeks ago, with Sarah stating “We should go back there soon, it was unbelievable last time”. A discreet smile briefly adorned my face, as I had booked a table for her forthcoming birthday just the day before. The beef melted like a knife through hot butter, with a succulent little faggot offering a contrasting texture. The smokiness from the lardons and woody button...

Phil's Food World: Review: The Magnum, Edinburgh
http://philsfoodworld.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-magnum-edinburgh.html
Independent restaurant reviews, recipes and food features. Review: The Magnum, Edinburgh. GIVEN THE DISTINCT lack of summer we’ve been having, I think this sunny(ish) day has to go down as one of the better ones, as we laud the happy drinkers outside The Magnum on Albany Street. Sarah and I had enjoyed a visit to this gastropub last year, meaning there would be added scrutiny this time around. For once, I didn’t have a big lunch before going out for dinner and I was glad by the time desserts came&#...

Independent restaurant reviews, recipes and food features. Review: Wildest Drams, Edinburgh. WITH EDINBURGH GEARING up for Festival season, I thought I would pay a visit to a Scottish-themed restaurant on the High Street by the name of Wildest Drams before the madness turns this part of town into a “must avoid” area for locals. After I’d finished waxing lyrical about the beer, I delved into the soup and was a little relieved that the combo of tomato and our other national drink was a real winner...

Independent restaurant reviews, recipes and food features. Recipe: Cullen Skink with poached egg. I COULDN'T THINK of a better dish to make on a cold, frosty day than Cullen Skink. Braving the winter chill, I embarked on a stroll towards Leith Walk, where I often enjoy picking up my ingredients. On the way back, the weather turned for the worse. I hope this trip was worth it! 2x banana shallots, finely diced. 1x fennel bulb, finely diced (set half aside for soup). 1x leek, finely diced. Pinch of sea salt.

Independent restaurant reviews, recipes and food features. Review: Purslane, Edinburgh. SOMETIMES IN LIFE you just have to accept that you’re never going to master certain things. After an hour (yes, I said hour) long attempt at ironing my shirt for dinner at Purslane, it’s fair to say that it was one of those moments where you miss living at home with your mum. Hopefully, dinner will be more successful. Sarah’s guinea fowl terrine with chestnut mushrooms and wild leeks certainly looked like a well...
