For your benefit, new and loyal readers, it would be pertinent to start with an introduction into what I hope this blog will become and of course, a little about my love for Eggs Benedict, or as I affectionately call it, Eggy B...
Over the last year, in particular, I have been partial to regularly enjoying a plate of Eggy B, or, 'the most delicious combination of flavours since time began', and my Sunday staple has since become that of enjoying brunch at my local Diner (more on them later). A hangover cure, a feast to set you up for the day and utter satisfaction can only be found in this most divine dish.
What I love most about eggs benedict is the way that, when you cut the egg gently with your knife, the yolk falls into the hollandaise. (In my eyes this happens slow motion.) Anticipation of that first bite is overwhelming and my mouth waters... The intense creaminess from the hollandaise, the saltiness of the ham/bacon rounded off with the freshness of the toasted muffin, pure delight. Forming somewhat a sense of escapism... Every moment to be savoured.
You may be surprised to now read that I don't make it for myself very well at all! Maybe this is what drives my love of it.. Admiration for those who can pull it off, with finesse.
Whilst this blog will be 100% in awe of eggs benedict, it will also aim to provide you with fair and critical reviews of some of the best eggy b joints in town (from The Diner to The Wolsley, I've got it covered...) Not to mention my one woman journey into making my own perfect eggs benedict, your views and tips will also be welcomed. Finally, I'll share some foodie stories, finds and photography to whet any appetite.
In short, this is a blog to feed my (mild) obsession. I look forward to the adventure...
Signing off,
B.x
