Christmas lunch with a brownie thrown in

Just before Christmas, my dad and I finally met up for a lunch during the week....it only took us 6 months to organise. 

We went to this lovely little place called Banh Mi Bay on Theobalds Road. I had the pork rolls to start and then a chicken salad for my main. They were delicious and filling but light and not greasy. The atmosphere is there is pretty hectic at lunch because you can get takeaways but it doesn't feel crowded. 

Afterward lunch, my dad wanted to pick up a little extra present for my mum and sister so we popped into Konditor and Cook. Naturally I was drawn to the brownie display. It was very tempting to go for the 'buy three and get one free' but I resisted. Instead I chose just one single Curly Whirly brownie which had a cheesecake marbled on the top. 



It took a lot of will power but I managed to save the brownie till the evening when I shared it with Lee. Cut into half (the slightly larger half going to me), we ate the brownie. My god it was good! So moist and then the smooth creamy cheesecake made it melt in your mouth. It was gooey but not so much that it stuck your mouth together or that it fell apart when you touched it. 

When I finished that brownie, I was kicking myself, why did I go for the buy three and get one free? Oh well I will just have to make another trip there. 

The brownie was so good I went onto their website to torture myself a little bit more by looking at photos of all the brownies. Whilst I did make myself more hungry for a brownie, I did also discover that Konditor and Cook have a cooking class where you can go and learn how to make their delicious brownies. For an evenings class which is an hour and a half and costs £60 you learn to make their brownies. I know what I want for my birthday!
