A birthday afternoon tea – Chez Jean Claude Patisserie

This is something I’ll definitely miss from my old job – birthday afternoon teas from Chez Jean Claude Patisserie with my now ex-team mates.

Barbecue dinner with friends

Towards the end of March, we went to our friends S and D’s home for a barbecue. I love grilled or barbecued haloumi cheese, so I was chuffed to see our starter dish cooking on the barbie. Soon, we could hear the sizzle of haloumi turning golden-brown on the hotplate. It smelled great! I ate […]

Sushi cone lunch
