The South Hampstead area is well served by kosher shops. Here is a smorgasboard, so to speak!!
Just Kosher is an online Kosher supermarket. It's just like ordering from Tesco, Sainsbury, Ocado etc.
Adafina is a deli and grocery shop based in St John's Wood. It also offers Internet ordering and delivery.
Sainsbury's supermarket in the O2 centre stocks a range of kosher fridge, frozen and other goods including kosher bread and kosher chalot from Sharon's bakery (this is not run out of my kitchen, thankfully). Please note that the supermarket own brand chalot are not kosher.
Waitrose by Finchley Road Station, Morrison's in Chalk Farm and Budgens by Belsize Park Station also have some kosher food.
Always check that the food actually is Kosher! The word 'Kosher' is unfortuantely no guarantee that the food actually is Kosher - although it is kind of funny that unscrupulous people may think they can make money by passing off bacon as kosher, to use an extreme example!
Look for the hechsher (sign certifying that the food is kosher).
For more Kosher information and for lists of kosher food, go to the London Beit Din's Kashrut Department at the Office of the Chief Rabbi.
Kashrut (keeping kosher) is good for the soul and not just a question of how many different flavour types of this that I can go for! (check which ones are Kosher looking for the logo above!)
Whilst this post explains practically how to find kosher food, we will examine some of the meanings behind Kashrut in later posts.
