Leeks generally feature in dishes in their own right rather than as a side and have a mild sweet flavour you want to respect.

Very good Jerusalem artichoke salad @anglothai yesterday alongside a great aubergine dish. Preceded by eye-wateringly hot oysters and a very good tempura lemongrass sausage - the only time I’ve fancied a battered sausage. Enjoyed the Thai elements more than the Anglo ones but set menu so you don’t get to choose. Terrific house wine though especially - and surprisingly - the red. . . . #thaifood #salad #oysters #winepairing #anglothaiThe poolside bar at @lidobristol is just the best kind of wine bar with a decent basic list and way above average, affordable bar food including this dish of porchetta with salsa verde and pumpkin caponata. (We drank the ever reliable Azevedo vinho verde.) One of the recommendations in my recently updated Bristol resto roundup on my Substack.

Particularly good ceviche but also tasty tacos, empanadas and pork pibil. #sunshineonaplate . . . #mexicanfood #tacos #ceviche #empanadas #marylebone #londonfood #newopening #guest Follow on Instagram
