Each year in
December I typically write up pieces called “lost posts” covering those places,
which, for one reason or another, I didn’t get around to writing about at the
time.
One of this
year’s would be Pidgin – my wife and
I visited the Hackney restaurant for dinner on the 25th August. Since
my visit, they have received a largely glowing review from the Guardian’s
Marina O’Loughlin (see here).
Of course, MOL
covers the nitty gritty of the restaurant in much better and engaging detail
than I ever could so I’d just like to use this post to echo her sentiments and
share details of more of chef Elizabeth Allen’s dishes.
A talented, creative,
young chef with a strong pedigree, Allen devises a weekly changing set menu (for
a bargainous £35, including bread and a digestif). One that, if I lived nearby,
I’d be returning to frequently to sample.
