Wild Harvest in London (I think)  020 7498 5397

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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