Weekly Love: the one where I hibernate away from an icy cold January

1. Making the most of the almost empty country lanes in Kent for my afternoon walks before heading back to the big smoke. | 2. A fantastic piece of rabbit for Friday lunchtime at The Duck Inn, Pett Bottom. | 3. Six of the freshest Beijing dumplings out there, doused in chilli oil and the hottest mug of jasmine tea I’ve ever had, all for just £7.50 at Jen Cafe in Chinatown. | 4. Some killer spiced double cut lamb chops for Sunday lunch at Booma in Brixton. | 5. Going gaga over all of the winter citrus – planning to commence marmalade production today! | 6. If, like me, you’re trying to fight the cold by batch making soups, my Sweet Potato Soup (naturally vegan and gently spiced with ginger and chilli) is now on the BBC Food website.

What have you been enjoying this week, and what do you have planned for the weekend? I’m planning on having a quiet one catching up on some reading and writing, testing out some recipes for upcoming commissions and making sure I’ve got everything all squared away for an event I’m a part of next week.
