An early pioneer of the small plates approach, Bocca showcases the diversity of Italy&rsquo;s regional cooking, with dishes from all twenty regions. Jacob&rsquo;s latest book &quot;Pasta Tricolore: Recipes in Green, White and Red&quot; was published in October.&quot; &quot;Jeremy Lee MBE&nbsp;joined Sam &amp; Eddie Hart at Quo Vadis in Soho in early 2012, becoming Chef Proprietor of this venerable restaurant. Jeremy had previously manned the stoves of Blueprint Caf&eacute; on the first floor of the Design Museum. This singular cook has worked with such distinguished restaurateurs as Simon Hopkinson and Alastair Little, who all played a considerable part in the great resurgence in British Cooking. His second book, Kitchening: Day-to-Day Good Food, Come Rain or Shine, was published in September 2026.&rdquo; &ldquo;Every aspect of L&rsquo;ETO was inspired by the core components of summer: the bloom, freshness, brightness, vividness and the enlightening sun. These elements have been &nbsp;woven throughout the menu.&rdquo;&nbsp;&quot;In challenging times, The Food Chain, and its dedicated staff, continues to provide a vital service for some of the most vulnerable people in our community. I am prouder than ever to be involved with such a profoundly important charity&quot;&nbsp;Jay RaynerThe Food Chain patron The Food Chain has been supporting people living with HIV for nearly 40 years.
