Alexander McQueen Sample Sale

The McQueen sample sale is being held at the moment at a fabulous house near Farringdon. Being a student I knew I was not going to be able to afford anything, but thought I'd go along anyway to check it out! And what a treat it was; intricately made clothes, wonderful shoes and an endless array of skull encrusted jewels - it certainly did not disappoint!

Home-made Pasta

First use of the pasta machine! We chose a Jamie Oliver recipe, a ricotta, parmesan and pecorino tortellini with sage butter, and just did a basic pasta recipe using 00 flour. We did it as a starter, and gave each person roughly 6 pieces each which was the perfect amount. Although it was quite time consuming folding each tortellini parcel, it was definitely worth it in the end! Find the recipe here.
