It's hard to decide. Instead of choosing, here are some of my favourite restaurant dishes: beetroot curry from Rasa in London; endive remoulade with abroath smokies from J Sheekey in London; wild mushroom and roasted corn soup from Hemisphere in Pennsylvania; pea tortelini with scallops from Zafferano in London; borscht and challa from Veselka in New York
My current drink of choice:
a nice glass of white wine (I quite like sancerre); cup of milky tea
I really wish I could:
grow my own vegetables and herbs
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
stuffed eggplant with pinenuts and currants
My favorite comfort food:
lentil soup
My top 5 favorite restaurants:
Moro in London; Rasa in Stoke Newington, London; Metisse in New York; J Sheekey in London; Food for Thought in London
My most tattered cookbooks:
Home Cooking and More Home Cooking by Laurie Colwin; World Vegetarian by Madhur Jaffrey; Healing Foods by Jane Sen; Local Flavours by Deborah Madison. But I rarely cook from books, I mostly use them as a reference.
