So where did I make it to?
- Ottolenghi - Motcomb St branch
- Leiths cookery school
- Hummingbird Bakery - Old Brompton Rd
- No. 10 - Schezuan place we went to last time
- HiX Soho
Plus...errrm...Pret and Marksies....but you probably know what they're like
I was sooo excited about going to Ottolenghi, their food is definitely my cup of tea. Delicious filling salads with loads of herbs/spices and amazing cakes, all beautifully presented with loads of colour.
I hit the salads in the form of
- Chargrilled broccoli with chilli and garlic
- Green beans and mange tout with hazelnut
- Roasted aubergine with saffron yoghurt
- Courgette with feta
- Roast fillet of beef with a l0vely dipping sauce (watercress and mustard I think)
Then after much consideration I went for carrot cake and a vanilla/mascarpone friand style something for dessert.
Everything was beautifully presented and chock full of flavour
They have 4 branches over London, I'd highly recommend a detour :o)
