Fay Maschler10 July 2019

Reminiscing with daughter Alice and granddaughter Amelia at Chettinad in Fitzrovia about a shared holiday in Karaikudi in Tamil Nadu, we relish aadu (lamb) curry with its 23 spices.

Celebrating 150 years of Quality Chop House, chef Shaun Searley excels his gifted self. Sublime peas, jellied eel, buttermilk, herb salad, ricotta (pictured) from a menu available until August 31.

Hake is fast becoming my favourite fish, a decision ratified by the tempura at dinner by Nieves and Eneko in aid of Action Against Hunger.

In Harrods Dining Hall a lobster cheese toastie before the food halls provide for a Glyndebourne picnic.

Sticky toffee pudding served with love — and ice cream — at the wedding of Hugh Wright and (Cumbrian) David Smithson-Rudd.
