http://www.ottolenghi.co.uk Another of the small plate brigade: (generous) starter-size dishes ordered in multiples; a style of eating I love. In a lesser eatery, this demands juggling your order to create a harmonious whole. But at Ottolenghi the only worry is which dishes you don’t order and miss out on. Roasted spicy pumpkin with mixed leaves, fried Manouri (a Greek cheese), oven roasted cherry tomatoes and basil sauce anyone? Yes please. Stuffed courgette flower with lemon-scented Turkish (not Greek) ewe’s cheese and delicious date syrup. Again, yes please. And so on, in a well-judged ‘Mediterranean Basin’ type stylee. Some question its ‘authenticity’: I prefer to just enjoy their inventive and modern approach to regional inspiration. Lovely.
