My favourite things

Xiao long bau dumplings, pregnant with soup

Anything resembling delicious warm goop
Californian sushi, such joy that it brings
These are a few of my favourite things!

Freshly picked berries unimaginably sweet
Buttery pie crust topping soft hunks of meat
Listening to my dad talk about food
These are the things that put me in a good mood!

Lemon-flavoured desserts are the way to my heart
Ottolenghi cuisine is truly an art
Warm summer evenings spent barbequeing
These are a few of my favourite things!

Warm apple crumble with custard or cream
Chocolate-covered peanut butter pretzels are an absolute dream
Freshly baked bread and afternoon tea
These are the things that make me feel stress-free!

Filling my home with a mouth-watering aroma
My beloved Borough Market and Williams-Sonoma
Stacks of pancakes that have no ending
These are a few of my favourite things!

Italian cheese matured in red wine
French lemonade is simply devine
Anything filled with sweet red bean paste
These are thing things that I simply can't waste!

When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don't feel...so bad!
