Eight over Eight, Chelsea

Eight over Eight closed down in 2009 as a result of a fire which, given the restaurant’s clientele, was possibly started by a member of the working classes with a chip on his shoulder. It’s no good looking at me though guv, I’ve got a cast-iron alibi.

Leon2 -Naturally Fast Food

Put together by John, Henry, Benny and Allegra, Leon2’s recipes create a strong feeling of sharing good food. There has clearly been a lot of involvement by the extended Leon family and the book certainly adheres to the Leon vision that food should taste good and do you good, and that everyone should be able to enjoy it.
