After years of doing supperclubs and popup events at night, and going home in the wee hours of the day to a dirty kitchen, I thought it would be fun to start a brunch club. Brunch back home isn't quite so much about poached eggs/ pancakes/ sausages and toast; there's light noodle soups, congee (rice porridge), fried rice cakes, and sometimes even curry. No forks and knives.
I'll be updating the menu each time with whatever looks the best this season. Most of the produce will be from the Stoke Newington Farmers Market, or the amazing little stores and independent fishmongers/ butchers/ grocers in the area.
That said, don't expect that exact same bowl of noodles you had when you went backpacking in Bangkok five years ago. There will be little twists to these dishes from home using British ingredients.
