My new book Nights Out In The Kitchen is a culinary coming out: yes, there are many recipes inspired by my favourite restaurant dishes, but also there are mine, incl my braised spaghetti and meatballs, onion and Parmesan tart and salmon teriyaki.

Have exciting news: the new series of the Kitchen Cabinet starts on BBC Radio 4 at 10.30am today. We’re in Inverness discussing sugary things with enough enthusiasm to make your pancreas complain to HR.
For today’s @ftweekend I am at Zylia, a loving celebration of the Greek Cypriot taverna in London’s Covent Garden with non squeaky halloumi, whole grilled fish and mastic-rich ice cream.

It’s game on. As a little present this Christmas @masterchefuk is staging a rematch for us shovel faced critics. I’m taking on my dear colleagues @tomparkerbowles @WilliamSitwell @Jimfam and @leylakazim in a culinary battle to the death. Or lunch. One or the other.
The Jay Rayner Sextet is playing in Liverpool on Nov 20 for the first time, our classic mix of 80s bangers with jazz in their bones. And we’re adding in something from a Liverpool band. Link for tickets below

For today’s @ftweekend I am at Beau in Belfast, a relatively new and very welcome addition to the Cathedral Quarter, serving top ingredients from the island of Ireland in whatever way suits.

For today’s @ftweekend I am at Cloth Cornhill, a hot opening and with good reason. A skilled team has made the old look new, look old again. As to the food imagine a greedy Edwardian had hired a french chef to cook British classics. Oh the venison pie.

For this weeks @ftweekend.com I am at Miokuru, a terrific handroll bar in Soho where dinner is hand to hand. Gosh, it’s good.

A mid week piece from me, on the @FT newspages. In an act of extraordinary generosity the owner of the building which houses Rules, London’s oldest restaurant, has donated it to the @nationaltrust

God, I love London City Airport. Curb to departure lounge in 3 mins. Anyway, on my way to St Andrews for the first of three Nights Out In The Kitchen events with the always brilliant Toppings . A few tickets left.

For today’s @ftweekend I am at the restaurant inside the Mayfair furniture shop RH London. And it’s chaos. Warm water. Can’t mix cocktails. Run out of hamburgers. Dull food for bored oligarchs. Have a few quotes and a pic of a £22 baked potato.

For today’s @ftweekend I am at Elkstone Studios in the Cotswolds, rolling my eyes performatively at the crass cult of ‘wellness’ while also enjoying the joys of Lardon, the southern European restaurant on site.

A huge thank you to the big crowd who came to this afternoon's slightly weirdly timed show in Belfast (as in 2pm on a Wednesday). You were fab. Just Coventry and Salford left.
Edinburgh: see you tomorrow afternoon.
Edinburgh people: I'm in your city this weekend, with a matinee performance on Sunday of my Nights Out In The Kitchen show. It's funny. I answer some very big questions, like "am I a bastard?" Then I answer your questions. Tickets at the link below.

For today’s @ftweekend I am at Kid, a big Soho opening we all have to weigh in. My take: the food is as lovely as you would expect from Sertac Dirik, but don’t let the ineffably cool Soho setting convince you it’s more radical than it is.
