National Burger Day at Roullier White

-

Vegetarians, look away now! It’s National Burger Day, the time when humanity comes together regardless of social, religious, or national divides to commune in the holy house of meat and bun. The humble hamburger has had something of a renaissance of late, and restaurants like Honest Burger, Meat Liquor, Hawksmoor and countless (no, seriously, countless) others have made it their duty to elevate the sandwich to new gastronomic heights. This isn’t just a recent trend; back in the 90s efforts to drag the simple burger up to the culinary big leagues involved inept displays of nouveau riche posturing by even respected chefs, slapping truffle, foie gras, and gold leaf on top of a thoughtlessly put-together patty. In recent years however, the process for making a great burger has been boiled down to the essentials: good bread, good meat, and bad cheese. All other variables are pretty much up for debate: onions or no onions? tomato or no tomato? Just remember the universally applicable golden rule, as laid down by the doyen of dirty New York street food, Anthony Bourdain: “Wherever you get your burger, please, order it medium-rare. It is, after all, your patriotic duty.”
At Roullier White, we’ve got a selection of cookbooks from some of most exciting culinary talent the capital has to offer, in order to steer you on the path of enlightenment towards burger nirvana. With much loved burger recipes from the likes of Pitt Cue Co., MeatLiquour, and Soho House, and our bestselling hamburger press, we’ve got everything you need to to cook up the perfect patty for yourself and your family at home!

The Holy Trinity: Perfumes Made by Monks

The rarefied aura that surrounds fragrance dates back to the remotest times of antiquity, when incense and fragrant oils would be offered up to the gods and deities of the ancient world. The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price. Today, most perfume is manufactured on a grand commercial scale; a far cry from the artisanal monastic traditions that gave birth to modern fragrance! However, some perfume houses still survive from this bygone age and serve to remind us of our industry’s history while continui

Bâtard Folding Picnic Knife by Lamson & Goodnow

As author of The Best Bread Ever; Charles Van Over is expected to show everywhere up with an armful of bread. Whilst Charles enjoys breaking bread with friends; he does insist that the bread is properly sliced with a breadknife, not just ripped apart. The problem here is that bread knives are very long and with their serrated edges they are not the easiest of things to carry around. Charles wondered why a folding bread knife could not be produced and took his idea for a pocket bread knife to Lamson & Goodnow, American manufacturers of the LamsonSharp range. The Bâtard Folding Picnic knife is the result of this collaboration. At Roullier White we believe this may possibly be the best picnic knife ever made. The French word bâtard – and yes it does translate how you think it does – is a shorter and thicker type of baguette. The knife, of course, will cut everything including cheese, fruit, vegetables and as you cannot have a picnic without wine it also has an integral corkscrew. Rou
