Wild Harvest in London (I think)  020 7498 5397

we pronounce it ver-juice but I wait to be corrected!

I responded to the same question a few posts back on the same thread! :wink:

Excellent website for new zealand produce, including both red and white verjuice. And I think you can spell it either way.

I just looked verjus up on www.m-w.com and it doesn't have a listing. Verjuice does. So, if you're pronouncing it as verjuice, I don't see how you could be wrong. :raz:

I have not yet been to the New Covent Garden and it's been on my list of places to visit for over a year. If I don't make it this trip, I'll make it on a future one.

You sure did. My bad. I'm only in London for a week so I don't have time to get a delivery from Kai Kitchen. I had no idea that verjuice came in red, but why wouldn't it. If nothing else, I'm getting an education on verjus/verjuice. :biggrin:

anyone know where I can get good quality fozen puff pastry?

I'm making mille feuille but too lazy to make my own puff pastry :raz:

yet too stuck-up to settle for supermarket / saxby-et-al.

I've bought it from Baker & Spice before - ring ahead to make sure they've got some - you have to buy (IIRC) four sheets at a time but hey, it's puff pastry, that's not a hardship.

Knife sharpening, preferably lessons? I have 4 Japanese whetstones and several high-quality sashimi and santoku knives but am petrified of ruining them. They were last sharpened at Aritsugu in Kyoto.

I'm also looking for Iwatani gas canisters and Japanese charcoal-the smokeless kind that can be used in a small tabletop brazier.

If you're in London, I'd recommend the Japanese Knife company - they have offices in Kilburn. They will resharpen your blades - properly - and give lessons on how to do it yourself. They also have a video.

Sheeps milk butter

Anywhere in London or Brighton or via the web.

Thanks!

Pretty certain this is available in Neal's Yard Dairy at Borough Market (probably in the Covent Garden branch as well).

Some of the best cheese I've had was at Sketch, supplied by Maison Anthony.

does anyone know how to get hold of Maison Anthony cheese?

A meal without wine is... well, erm, what is that like?

Is this the same as Bernard Anthony? His cheeses are incredibly difficult get ahold of. I recently tried (along with J Day) his 4 year Comté, and it was mind boggling.
