I don’t think there’s a nicer bacon around than the smoked streaky from the Marsh Farms stall at Woodgrange Market. It’s cut to a nice thickness and unlike supermarket bacon it’s not pumped full of water, so lends itself to being baked in the oven – saving the stress and smell of frying while you’re trying to coordinate eggs, pancakes, coffee etc.
Today’s brunch vanished too fast for pictures but this rainy Sunday afternoon I’m treating myself to dripping from the baking pan – with sourdough toast from Wild Goose Forest Gate
