Did Ikea and Daiso have a baby and I just didn't know it?…read more OK, Ikea is Swedish, and Hema is Dutch, so it's not quite the same, and the prices aren't all $1.50... so maybe not. But do you get what I mean? This is a Dutch store where there's plenty of Hema-branded household goods that are reasonably priced. Think food, snacks, toiletries, bathroom supplies, school supplies, etc. I really like the concept and the presentation. I'd go nuts for a store like this in the States. This reminds me of the store Miniso in China. There's a ton of makeup and skin care here for some reason. I even got a Kabuki brush for about £8 or so. I also bought this SPF 10 face lotion for about £6 are so.

What a fun shop! If Tiger and Muji had a baby, it would be something like Hema…read more Hema is a Dutch import full of all sorts of neat stuff: stationery, kitchen goods, kids crafts, traditional toys, cosmetics, a small basic clothes selection, and snacks. A little bit of everything, and it's all quite cool.

I attended a half day course 'The ultimate meat and poultry'. Surpassed expectations on all counts…read more The cookery school is centrally located, just off Regent St.Surprisingly compact inside but everything worked well due to great organisation of the space and activities. We were welcomed with freshly baked caraway seed cakes and cheese scones, still warm from the oven with tea or coffee. Our group of ten budding cooks was split into 3 groups. We had around ten dishes to make so each group did three / four dishes. The chef leading the class was excellent. Too many dishes to describe here but highlights included guinea fowl (a favourite of mine) braised in red wine and port, spatchcock poussin, lamb stew, duck with orange and roast beef with Yorkshire pud. We all worked on fully deboning a chicken which we then stuffed with a mushroom mixture, tied up like a burrito (I think ballotine is the correct term) and took home to eat. I can report it was delicious. On the side we also made two rice dishes and creme caramels. Finally, after a 10 am start and solid demo, concentrated prep and cooking, we reached 3pm. The table was set and the group sat down to eat what became a 10 course tasting menu. Tired and weak with hunger we ate and ate sampling each dish with a nice glass or two of wine to accompany. As well as being interesting and educational, it was enjoyable and learned lots of new tips and cookery techniques. It was busy and intense but not too much and pitched to the group who all had a reasonable level of cooking knowledge. I have the recipe cards and slowly working through some of the dishes we made...not too bad so far. Would definitely return for another class.
