In July this year, two of our founders, Bianca and Tyron, set off on their annual European holiday. Any trip to Europe involves time with Bianca’s family in Italy, but this time London called - and the cyclone that is Tyron’s best mate! He and his wife are incredibly connected in London's hospitality scene and were perfectly placed to be Bianca and Tyron’s tour guides as they embarked on a quest to find the city’s most delicious, of-the-moment dishes.

What is it about the humble cookbook? A beautiful thing to hold in our hands or put on our coffee table. Today’s cookbooks are works of art, giving us insights into other worlds. But just as often they bear the hallmarks of sauce, butter, elbow grease. They might be followed to the letter, or simply serve as a jumping off point. But regardless, they transport and inspire. They tell stories and help us create our own. They’re a reminder of when things went well and sometimes, when they didn’t. They’re an homage to the food we love to share with others. And if they make us better home cooks in the process, that’s just gravy.
