Thank God you enjoyed it!. Think we would have been gutted if you hadn’t!

The bread looks great and that beef looks wonderful!

a mere stones throw from my front door and you don’t let me know you’re coming to Islington. I would have had the council put up some bunting at great expense

Great review Helen, I’ve cooked a lot of stuff from Ottolenghis recipe book and the flavour combinations are incredible, I’d love to try the restaurant in the evening – the food you ate looks really good. Well judged present from your former work colleagues!

Thanks for sharing the gift from your colleagues with this distinctive and discriminating portrayal of your Ottolenghi experience. With food in such brilliant Technicolor you would think they’d what to raise the wattage.

What a gorgeous write up! I could have done with one of those vouchers when I went there, what nice colleagues!…I loved that line about wringing the very essence from the artichoke – seriously made me want to go back there.

The woodshed analogy is terrific!

And on your last – might still make it to smokey jerkey yet…

Thanks for the review. I envy you. Wanted to visit Ottolenghi the last time I was in London, but then did not make it. Looks good what you had!

I still haven’t been! I’ve walked past it enough times on Upper St and Ledbury Road though. The scallops look amazing, and your colleagues are the best!

What a fantastic present – how lovely of them. I’ve wanted to go to Ottolenghi for ages. Bubblegum salad though – bleurgh. Clever on the double apples, though. Lovely write-up.
