At this time of year, I’m often asked what the highlights were in the restaurant world, and what trends we are going to see coming to the fore in the year ahead. Obviously, last year was different to most. We were only open for 29 weeks out of 52: from January to March, unaware of how the situation was going to escalate, and then for just 13 brief weeks in summer and autumn.
Let the simple flavours and fresh vegetables have their day, and you’ll feel a little cleansed, perhaps even a little virtuous, after a bowlful of this soup.
