Hey there – how did you find your way here? Or more importantly – why? Go and enjoy the recipes and food on the other pages! Nothing interesting to see here…

Still here? Ok well, if you really want to know…

‘Food from the 22nd Floor’ is a London based food blog whose only aim is to bring you guys good food, full of flavour that is great to cook, using good, wholesome ingredients. Thats it. I like to experiment with food and flavour combinations, and explore food frontiers… but I also love to put up a recipe that can literally go from ingredients to table in 10minutes and still taste amazing. Like most food lovers I try to use ingredients of the best quality and excellent taste, sourced well, and with good provenance. I live in London but try to take influence from all over the world. I write/produce this blog by myself from a one bedroom apartment in Bow, East London which I share with my beautiful girlfriend/head recipe tester. We both love food. I also photograph all the recipes, as I do a lot of product photography in my day job – if you think the recipes could be imaged better give me an email. Mostly I just hope that anyone that decides to use one of my recipes really, really, really enjoys it. And yes – we are on the 22nd floor.

I also have a Photoblog of my life, times, and travels here –

Who is me? Well… if you’re actually interested read below (but I wouldn’t) –

Nombre (Name): Jonny B

Quel âge avez-vous? (How old are ya?): Old enough to know I’m still young(ish).

Wo bist du? (Where are you?) : London mostly… Which is good… mostly.

Posto preferito nel mondo? (Favourite place in the world?) : The Alps or Iguaçu Falls or Berlin or Barcelona or Hong Kong or New York or The English Lake District or Patagonia or… Get an Atlas, and throw a dart at it I’ll probably like it – except for Bank Tube Station at 9am on a Tuesday.

What do you love?: My Girlfriend, Travel, Food, Ski, Climb, Run, Bike, Snow, Sun, Sea, Mountains, BIG Cities, CREATIVITY, nature, technology, comics, Star Trek (yes -geekily sad but true) and some other stuff. Did I say food?

Beth ydych chi’n ei gasáu? (What do you hate?) : Reality TV, prejudice, intolerance, ready meals, snobs, restaurants that won’t take bookings, music from the X-Factor, people not researching something they read on the internet, plastic bags, running out of socks and/or pants. Oh and I almost forgot – Hipsters (we call them Shoreditch twats over here).

Drømmer? (Dreams?): Me, my girlfriend, a mountain chalet, good skiing, a big dog, and guests to cook for.

реальность (Reality): I sold my soul to the human sewer and moral sink hole that is the advertising/commercials industry. Maybe one day I’ll leave, do something productive and get it back. BUT at least I don’t work for an Investment bank – then I really would be bankrupt (morally) 😉

别的值得了解的? (Anything Else Worth Knowing?) : Not really. I’m half Chinese. I’m a fan of Wine Gums. My first car was a red Ford Fiesta which I managed to crash on my parents front drive before I’d passed my driving test. I once saw Eddie Izzard buying coffee in Covent Garden. Also does anyone else remember the cartoon ‘Mysterious Cities of Gold’? That was a weird show. And apparently some of the following facts may be true – The largest recorded snowflake was 15 inches wide and 8 inches thick. Of all the words in the English language, the word “SET” has the most definitions. Watching ‘Made in Chelsea’ lowers your IQ by 99.946732419589%. The word ‘ski’ has its origins in the Norwegian word skíð which means a piece of wood!. Male koalas have two penises, and female koalas have two vaginas. Simon Cowell has two penises and two vaginas and one day hopes to breed with himself. Mt. Everest is 29,035 feet or 8848 meters high but grows by about a quarter of an inch (0.25″) every year.  All ‘retro’ stores are run by a secretive cult that dresses kittens in modern clothing and sacrifices them to their circa 1930s – 1950s styled god in the hope that one day all people will wear bow-ties, thick rimmed glasses and cardigans.

Dankon! (Thank You!)
