The best husband in the world took me out for an early birthday celebration dinner (the actual event is on Monday, we went out Thursday night). We went to a small little bistro in Bryanston called Junipa's. And I fell in love.
They do artisan breads, roast their own coffee, and when you order a cappucino you get a cat design in the foam. I had a lovely salad with crispy duck and sour cherries, which was awesome, although the carpaccio salad with blue cheese might have been even better (I scrounged a taste from H's plate). Then a pasta Alfredo for me, pizza with slow roast lamb and olives for H, followed by chocolate brownies. Wow. Their artisan breads are made from a starter that is - get this - 8 years old.
This morning I drove past there again, and bought a sourdough loaf and some croissants, and having tasted it I'm happy to sacrifice the dream of losing weight. I'm in a little bubble of baking happiness. I can't believe this kind of food is available 10 minutes from my home and I never knew!
