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.

@ChefJoeHolding_ we do indeed discuss condensed milk and tablet

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

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.

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

@geoffonX Hmmmm. Let me think.

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

@BaconBa21062778 Fantastic example of 80s sax, and of the 808 drum machine.

@imcgov Marvellous. Tell yer friends

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

@angusmathieson @ftweekend No. It’s on the main one but I believe there’s an overseas one which is slightly different (but you should be able to access the right one)

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

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.

@MiamKitty @ftweekend No I get paid to write. The eating is just part of the job.

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

@marcwebber That’s a very old picture of the kitchen cabinet team on the way back from record with our train picnic

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

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.

@sussexbythesea4 I wont, I'm afraid. This is purely BBC business. But there are links to buy signed copies in the linktree in my bio

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

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.
