The first week back is coming to a close and I think it went pretty well. Many customers have jumped through the door saying how happy they are because the deli is back but honestly I needed the deli to reopen as well! My diet many consisted of biscuits over Christmas so I needed the deli to re open too!!

Harissa chickpea curry
Edamame + crispy shallot rice
Beef ragu pasta
Soup: Mild spiced sweet potato + spinach

I’m planing a party for my brothers birthday. Not a party, more like ‘a thing to do’. I want to do a scavenger hunt because my brother likes solving puzzles and I can easily make it covid safe! Plus I rarely do anything nice for the dear boy so this should earn me some serious sister points! #siblingrivalry
Salads:
Mild curry with sweet potato
Tofu rice
Cauliflower + cashew pesto pasta
Soup: Leek · potato + tomato
I don’t know what came over me yesterday but I felt the need for clean out in our kitchen (at home). The collection of goods we’ve accumulated over the years is just ridiculous. 20 varieties of curry pastes, 10 different breeds of rice, 15 types of noodles… but the spice cupboard… 47 different spice mixtures (that doesn’t include that we have 4 different brands of Chinese 5 spice). Chef = hoarder.
Salads:
Chilli non carne
Mushroom + tomato pasta
Sandwich: Pastrami beef, Pecorino cheese, Jalapeno relish + tomato
Soup: Spiced chickpea + potato
It feels good to be back at work, for now. I feel like a fully charged phone! I was woken at 5am this morning by my darling dog so I decided to watch Modern Family until my alarm went off. Yesterday mainly consisted on people walking in and doing a little dance to celebrate the opening of the deli. We love to see it.
Salads:
Mild lentil + cauliflower curry
Ginger + turmeric rice
Chicken ragu pasta
Soup: Cumin roasted sweet potato
And the Deli is…OPEN!!! How’s 2021 treating you so far? same as 2020? Well we’re back and so far it’s going good! My new years resolution is to be kind and make better choices. It’s hard to find a resolution to better myself because lets be honest, it’s hard to improve perfection #humble
Salads:
Beetroot goulash + white bean
Spinach + herb rice
Roast pepper pasta
Sandwich: Fennel salame, Camembert cheese, Onion relish + tomato
Soup: Red lentil · ginger + tomato
Morning all, You’ve heard it a hundred times but this year has been weird, horrible, BS, a total write off! However at the deli it’s been amazing. We’ve met so many new customers as well as our OG’s who have come to see us throughout the year. From all of us at North St. we want to thank you for all the support, appreciation and laughs. Let’s hope next year will treat us better. Over and out, come thur 2021.

I had to go to Sainsbury’s yesterday to pick up some items for my brother. It was horrible. I don’t go to the supermarket because we have the deli and I prefer going to a market like Brixton because it’s just more fun. No amount of Christmas music would have made that a positive experience. Good luck out there folks!
Salads:
Chickpea + black eyed bean vegetable curry
Moroccan spied lamb + veg
Soup: Lightly spiced red lentils
Sandwich: Chicken, Bacon, cheddar, mayo, cranberry sauce and festive slaw
We finally put up our tree this weekend but it still hasn’t been decorated, and looking at our schedule this week it will probably get decorated on Christmas Eve! At this point I don’t think i’m excited about Christmas I think it’s the time off I really need because i’m becoming a little delirious! Not to say i’m sane usually though…
Salads:
Braised chorizo and potato
Squash ragu with Fregola
Soup: Carrot · ginger + orange

Contrary to popular belief the deli team like one another, we get on like a house on fire. Some times the flames are uncontrollable but we get on none the less. We were intending to enjoy each others company at an amazing restaurant tonight but plans have changed, so we’re going to cook a feast ourselves…i wonder if we can pull it off…

SOOOooOOoOoOooo Tier 3. Like always we will remain open. But i’m fuming. Literally everywhere can stay open apart from restaurants and pubs, the scenes on Oxford street etc. will still be allowed but you can’t dine out in establishments that have put so much money into ensuring their customers safety? I’m done.

Rainbow veg + chickpea curry
Ginger + turmeric rice
Smoked roast pepper + rosemary pasta

I’m not a big fan of surprises. Tonight Maddy is taking me out for dinner, I don’t know where and it’s killing me. I trust her taste buds so i’m not worried that the food will be bad but WHERE AM I GOING? what a philosophical question, i mean, where am I going not just tonight but in life?

Did you know Saturn has the most moons in our solar system?! Just a fun fact there from my space theme advent calendar. But that information was found by researchers from the US so it’s probably a lie and the election was rigged and the moon landing is a hoax and Bill Gates created coronavirus…wait what?

I went Christmas shopping yesterday and it surprisingly went well! I decided to go first thing and take advantage of the browsing time in the department store 2 hours later when I left it was mayhem on the high street. Luckily enough people were fearful of my dog (who I of course brought with me) so people parted like the red sea #socialdistancing

Smokey aubergine + tomato pasta
Soup: Vegetable madras
