how do you like your eggs?
Orange juice hued yolks, soft scrambled flecked with chives, golden and crispy under the fry for us please. Chef Anna Jones tells us how she likes hers, too.
bread, glorious bread
From lockdown sourdoughs to the infamous Guinness soda bread at Max Rocha’s perfect canalside restaurant named after his granny, Café Cecelia.
hoste’s tools of the kitchen
Our round up of all the kitchen tools we covet the most, plus Hoste founder Laura’s favourites, too.
tomato season is not dead
From the black-tinged Iberico to the plump red Cuore Del Vesuvius that Quo Vadis chef patron Jeremy Lee swears by for their limited-to-the-season salad.
AN Ode to squash
How to cook autumn’s most comforting companion: pumpkin and squash. Vegetable-forward cook Joe Woodhouse tells us his tips and tricks.
hoste’s christmas gift guide
Our favourite food-and-drink related gifts to buy for loved ones (and ourselves). Plus cocktail connoisseur Ryan Chetiyawardana’s seasonal cocktail recipe.
dumplings are forever
Perfectly plump parcels, wontons floating in the clearest broth, doughy momos full to the brim; plus an interview with wontoneria queen, Amy Poon.
the romance of pasta
We love Italian fare, but it’s the silky strands of pasta and glossy sauces that get us the most. Much like food writer, Bre Graham, who is this month’s expert.
springy fresh herbs
Spring heralds the season of herbs picked straight from the garden. We asked Kris Yenbamroong (founder of Thai American diner, Chet’s) about his favourites.
all things butter
From NYC butter sculptures to Copenhagen whipped clouds. We spoke to ex-Mob kitchen creator and all time great gal, Sophie Wyburd, about her own butter story.
winter salad days
Salads? In winter? Yep, it’s the vibe! We spoke to Dara Klein, whose residency Tiella at the Compton Arms about her style and the salads she covets the most.
the soup cup runs over
Is there anything more warming than a bowl of soup? Crystal clear broths and coconut-clouded bowls, especially the ones coming out of Saphin Moore’s Rosa’s.
hoste’s annual christmas guide
Our final annual Christmas gift guide, from the kitchen tools you need to the newsletters we think you should gift a subscription to. Plus we speak to Adejoke Bakare, founder and chef at the inimitable Chishuru in Mayfair.
goodbye from the hoste post!
It’s official - we’re shutting up shop! But not before we reminisce about all of our favourite Hoste Posts and talk to Denai Moore, chef and writer of Plentiful, about flavours and vegan fare.
