Great to work out how these characters collectively and individually influenced the food scene …. Way beyond my budget in those days but I have fond memories of the Bistingo in Soho ( I thought that was the height of sophistication!)
Great round-up, Gilly (I recognise it from the beginning!). One of my daughters ran the upstairs kitchen (chefs club) at 192 for a year or so - hard work and no social life, so she moved out of the kitchen and into - well, life.

Thank you! I bumped into it at the time but it was great fun to revisit it for the book.

Well, of COURSE one of your daughters was at the cutting edge of British food culture!
