Market researcher Chris Pople has been writing his Cheese and Biscuits blog since 2007, and was Highly Commended in this year’s Observer Food Monthly Awards. The man’s dedication to eating and to trying new restaurants is unflinching, and food, on the whole, is the highlight in his even-handed reviews – a welcome change from most newspaper reviews. He provides good snaps of all the dishes, too.
BLOG SNIPPET:
“A raw radish, celeriac and pecorino salad sounds like it could easily be rather dull, but the top-drawer ingredients and generous application of truffle oil, as well as the many exciting textures from the pomegranate seeds and soft cheese, turned it into something special. And a plate of crudita di mare consisting of raw fish and seafood of various types was simply brilliant - you may have had raw scallops elsewhere previously, and very nice these were too, but the raw langoustine was a revelation - fresh and sweet and enough to make you question why anyone ever cooks langoustine at all.” (Bocca di Lupo)
