February 2020.

Films I’ve seen recently. 1917. I don’t know, were we missing something, but none of us thought this was amazing? Maybe we should admire it for its cinematography or something (I don’t really know what that is but it sounds good). It looks good and it is engaging and big and beautiful but its a 7/10 for me. Little Women, on the other hand is perfect; beautiful, fast, engaging, profound, funny. I loved Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen. Unfashionable view alert! He’s better than Tarantino. This is an old fashioned crime caper with a brilliant script and amazing clothes. I liked The Irishman on Netflix but it is far too ,long for me to have sat through at the cinema. It will bear repeated watching. But best of all is Jo Jo Rabbit; what a masterful, profound, brave, original, bonkers and funny film. I absolutely loved every minute.

Chocolate of the Month. Waitrose Single Origin Milk. Dominican Republic. Feuilletine and Sea Salt. Not flashy but the perfect blend of sweet and salty. BOOM.

Cheese of the Month. Gorgonzola. Weirdly underrated. (Italian blue cheese, unskimmed cow’s milk). It’s often best when softer and mild. Outstanding with pasta.
