Once again our lovely neighbours @quincetreecoing have delivered us some quinces from their recent harvest. Grown in the streets of Camberwell and just a stones throw from our Vestry Road location. 🌳Thank you so much.

Last time I made some delicious Quince Jam, and I’m looking forward to making some more this weekend. Leave me a comment and let me know how you’d like to see me use them 🥰

Kurdish breakfast at Nandine Vestry Rd last week. This time I went with another Kurdish friend and her Spanish husband. Both are foodies and loved the food, Spanish friend commented “Food was really tasty, fresh and clean. I wasn’t expecting that”.

It’s not just Kurds who appreciate our flavours

Kurdish Restaurant Spotlight:
Nandine, London

Nandine has two locations in London, and we visited both, with two very different experiences.

Vestry Road location
We went for breakfast and tried several dishes, while sitting down with owner Pary Baban to talk about her motivation for opening Nandine, her views on Kurdish cuisine, and her book.
What really stood out was Pary’s passion for celebrating and preserving Kurdish culinary heritage. Through Nandine, she brings Kurdish food, traditions and stories to a wider audience, while keeping the richness and diversity of Kurdish cuisine at the heart of what she does.

📖 Pary Baban’s cookbook is available on Amazon. It contains many dishes she also serves in her restaurants. Check it out!

Camberwell Church Street location
For dinner, we enjoyed a lovely atmosphere and some seriously good Kurdish food. The dandok, stuffed Kurdish kifta, and tûzik salad (watercress) were the standouts, all absolutely delicious and highly recommended.
Two locations, two different experiences, but the same celebration of Kurdish culinary heritage.

Yesterday evening we had the pleasure of hosting @angymao.mao for an evening of dinner with friends celebrating her time in London!
This was a special one for us at Vestry as Angie used to work as a chef in our kitchen, so it was lovely to cater for her and friends for a farewell dinner. 💐
From all of us at Nandine we wish you the best in your new adventures, and we will always be a home for you!

🥂

Vestry Road is now available for large bookings and private hire to join you in celebrating any occasion! Send us a DM or email: nandencatering@gmail.com 🌺

On day 3 of our Kurdish food tour in London, we were still not very hungry from day 2 and also tired 🤭, so day 3 has one stop only.

For our last stop we decided on the other branch of Nandine’s since Pary Baban is on a league of her own and we wanted to try more of her creations. We were impressed once again.

This was our first Kurdish food tour, we enjoyed trying many restaurants, letting the wider community know of Kurdish cuisine and where you can eat it. Kurdish identity, including our food has been oppressed and denied. Like every group who grow and cook their food Kurds have their own unique cuisine, to deny this is ludicrous.

Day 2 of our Kurdish food tour was in South of London since there were many options

We started with breakfast at Nandine’s at Vestry Rd. Expecting only 1 option of Kurdish breakfast but found there were several to choose from.

You have to try it

Top 3 London Sweet Treats for July:

🌸Nandine's
yes the food is incredible but let's not skip dessert. as a certified baklava lover I was blown away by the unique flavours.

🍨 Ice Cream Union
a genuine hidden gem I almost didn't want to share. new flavours every week. only open during summer on saturdays & only if you're eagle eyed enough to spot their premises inside the unassuming railway arches.

🍓 Ottolenghi
if you've walked past the spitalfields location u understand the hype. insane display with a selection of cakes you haven't seen ANYWHERE else.

Chicken and rice. Following on from my last post, here are all my recent and loved chicken and rice dishes I’ve had in restaurants over the past few months.

🍗 Nandine
This is a Kurdish restaurant in Camberwell and was so delicious (well worth the trek from West London). I’ll do a separate post about this establishment because I thoroughly enjoyed it.
7-spice chicken shish with rice.

🍗 Warung Nusantara
My favourite Indonesian, which is actually originally a fish and chip shop but make amazing Indonesian food with many items on the menu under £10.
Ayam Geprek - fried chicken served with chilli sambal and rice.

🍗 Berenjak
Well spoken about as one of the best Persian restaurants in London and I have to completely agree. Jujeh Kabab Tond - marinated chicken in chilli, garlic and other spices
Koobideh Kabab - the minced lamb shoulder kebab
A side of saffron rice.
While extremely hard to get a reservation and very expensive, if you can for lunch during the week you can have their lunch set which is £50 per person and a very good special occasion restaurant.

🍗 Med Salleh Kopitiam
This is a frequented Malaysian spot in my family, and does great hainanese chicken rice - served with the usual accompaniments of rice made from the chicken stock, a bowl of said stock, and the different sauces (spring onion and ginger, chilli, and a sweet soy).

🍗 Med Salleh Kopitiam
Mat Salleh Style Ayam Percil Rice - a grilled chicken leg topped with a coconut chilli sauce, served with rice, a fried egg, a bowl of stock, cucumber and salad.

The Scottish Multidisciplinary artiste extraordinaire Tahliah Simumba (AKA TAAHLIAH when she’s behind the decks) is a triple threat. Her debut solo exhibition ‘A star that burns forever is a star that burns in me’, at Glasgow International, channels trans icons including Pete Burns and Marsha P. Johnson, examining the expectations and constraints society often places on transidentities. A woman of many talents, and postcodes, we asked her for her favourite weekend haunts in Glasgow and London.
