Cheap Eats #5

FeastAndGlory

It’s been a bit quiet on the Cheap Eats front – mostly because we’ve been eating out of the freezer (that Thai beef curry is lovely with some tomatoes chucked in) or I’ve been repeating meals (fish, chips and mushy peas has become a real favourite!). I also ate out a fair bit over the food festival and last weekend so there have been fewer meals to prepare. So, I don’t have much in the way of excitement to share with you at the moment, as the most exciting (and new) thing that I cooked over the last fortnight was … Continue reading Cheap Eats #5

Top 5 – Richard Brownhill

FeastAndGlory

The latest Top 5 comes from Richard Brownhill who is both a beer and food lover; check out his beer blog here. In the meantime, his top 5 places to eat in Sheffield are below:  Gusto, Norfolk Row – A drop of real elegance in the Steel City, unbelievable food and slick service. The wine list is untouchable too. Whether its the lunchtime buzz or evening intimacy, this place really sets the bar. Easily my favourite.  Chichainn, Broomhill – A new addition, but so much more than your typical Chinese restaurant. Locally sourced meats and fish together with traditional cooking methods. Brilliant post-dinner … Continue reading Top 5 – Richard Brownhill

Top 5 – Josh Murray

FeastAndGlory

Josh Murray provides his top five places to eat in Sheffield. Check them out below;  Marco at Milano – Great tasting, posh Italian food with great service.

Intimate restaurant that has found its feet and does great British food using local ingredients. Disclosure – I know Justin.  Artisan – Where we go if we want to get dressed up and have a special night out in Sheffield.

Peppercorn Restaurant – an Exposed Blog Post

FeastAndGlory

Chef Charlie Curran and his partner, and front of house manager, Kelly Ware have worked together for many years at restaurants including the Samuel Fox in Bradwell and The Beauchief in Milhouses. But now they are stepping out on their own with new venture Peppercorn Restaurant which occupies the old Moran’s premises. It’s always sad to see a good Sheffield restaurant go and I’m sure that our city will mourn the recent loss of Moran’s restaurant. But with Charlie and Kelly in situ, I think that the 289 Abbeydale Road South address will remain a real favourite on the Sheffield food scene. … Continue reading Peppercorn Restaurant – an Exposed Blog Post

Cheap Eats #4

FeastAndGlory

Well this is a relatively quick one as it seems that I managed to live off leftovers for the majority of the week, which is great for the bank balance, if a little dull for the blog. A couple of donations of home-grown veg (no marrows this time) helped even further! Ham Hock The week kicked off with ham hock, mash, greens and carrots. I cooked the hock in the slow cooker, of course. I used this recipe as a guide and after soaking the hock overnight I placed it in the slow cooker with enough water to cover, a … Continue reading Cheap Eats #4

Top 5 – Leigh Richmond

FeastAndGlory

First up in the Your Sheffield Favourites section is Leigh Richmond (@leighcrichmond). Check out his favourites below.  Gusto Authentic Italian food in a quaint atmosphere. Desserts to die for!  Rafters Plate wise, as close to London fine dining as you will get in Sheffield, but with a homely feel.  Losehill House  Not entirely Sheffield, but had to squeeze in purely down to the taste, presentation and views while eating. No idea how this place isn’t Michelin starred.  Devonshire Arms, Middle Handley  Gastro pub at its best. Ever changing menu on the chalk board that always impresses me. Plus they have strawberry beer on tap!  … Continue reading Top 5 – Leigh Richmond

NOSH – Sheffield – September 19 2013 – Kelham Island Museum

FeastAndGlory

Nosh, the Sheffield street food night market, returns on 19 September 2013. Taking place in Kelham Island Museum, this is a real must do for anyone who loves their food, especially if they love street food! The event runs from 5.30-10pm with an entrance fee of £2 (or £1 NUS – before 6pm). My advice? Go with a group of mates, or the family and aim to spend a couple of hours there. That’ll give you plenty of time to suss out the stalls and fill up on a starter, main and dessert along with a few pints whilst perusing the market and … Continue reading NOSH – Sheffield – September 19 2013 – Kelham Island Museum

Exposed Post – Milestone Cookery School, Sheffield

FeastAndGlory

When I was growing up, home-made curry involved raisins, apple and lots of turmeric. To be fair, my home town of Pontefract was hardly the culinary capital of anywhere and it was only when I moved to Sheffield for university that I had my first real curry. Slowly, but surely, I have trained my taste buds to like spices and heat (and coriander) and curry is now one of my favourite meals. As a number of South Indian restaurants have been popping up across the city, curry has become more interesting – I’m really starting to learn about the Indian cuisine. I … Continue reading Exposed Post – Milestone Cookery School, Sheffield
