London on a Plate: 8 Recipes from England's Food Capital
By Lisa · June 2026
London's food scene is one of the most diverse and exciting in the world. From Borough Market's artisan stalls to Shoreditch's brunch culture and Brick Lane's curry houses, the city has reinvented itself as a genuine food capital over the past two decades. British classics have been elevated, international influences absorbed, and new hybrids created that exist nowhere else. These eight cannabis recipes pay tribute to London's culinary spirit — traditional favourites like scones and porridge sit alongside modern staples like avocado toast and chai latte, all enhanced with ZenOil for a calm, layered depth that suits the city's measured but bold character.
Best Recipes from London
Cannabis Scones
No London afternoon tea is complete without scones — buttery, crumbly, and served with clotted cream and jam. This cannabis version from the ZenCannaKitchen channel uses ZenOil in the dough for a gentle infusion that does not disturb the classic texture.
- Proper British scone texture
- Serve with clotted cream & jam
- ZenOil in the dough
Cannabis Chai Latte
London's South Asian community transformed the city's cafe culture, and the spiced chai latte is now a fixture from Pret to specialty coffee shops. ZenOil emulsifies beautifully into the warm, spiced milk for a calming afternoon drink.
- Cardamom, cinnamon & ginger blend
- Oat milk or full-fat option
- ZenOil emulsifies into the foam
Cannabis Oat Porridge
The British love of porridge runs deep, and London's breakfast spots have elevated it into an art form — topped with fruit, seeds, and nut butters. A spoonful of ZenOil stirred in at the end makes for a nourishing, calm-inducing morning bowl.
- Slow-cooked oats for maximum creaminess
- Top with berries or banana
- ZenOil stirred in off the heat
Cannabis Pear Crumble
The crumble is Britain's most beloved home dessert, and London gastropubs have been serving elevated versions for decades. Juicy pears under a buttery oat crumble, with ZenOil worked into the topping for a warm, earthy finish.
- Juicy Williams pears as the base
- Oat & brown sugar crumble topping
- Serve warm with vanilla custard
Cannabis Roast Beef
The Sunday roast is sacred in London — a cultural institution that brings families together every weekend. Perfectly pink roast beef with Yorkshire puddings is the centrepiece, and a ZenOil-infused gravy elevates the whole spread.
- Medium-rare prime rib technique
- ZenOil in the pan gravy
- Essential Sunday ritual
Cannabis Thai Green Curry
London is arguably the world's best city for Thai food outside Thailand, with Soho's Nahm-inspired kitchens setting the standard. This fragrant green curry uses coconut milk and lemongrass, with ZenOil added just before serving to preserve the herbal notes.
- Homemade green curry paste
- Coconut milk & kaffir lime leaves
- ZenOil added at the finish
Cannabis Avocado Toast
London's brunch culture invented the smashed avocado toast craze long before it went global. This savory version adds a poached egg, chilli flakes, and a drizzle of ZenOil — the Instagram-era classic, now properly infused.
- Smashed avocado on sourdough
- Poached egg on top
- ZenOil & chilli flake finish
Cannabis Curry
Britain's national dish — adopted, adapted, and made entirely its own. A rich, slow-simmered cannabis curry with aromatic spices, tender chicken, and a sauce that begs for naan bread. ZenOil deepens the spice profile beautifully.
- British-style curry sauce
- Warming spice blend
- Serve with basmati or naan
