A SLICE OF MY LIFE
THE FAMILY TABLE I grew up in Dorset and loved the fact that, almost every day, we’d eat dinner together as a family. We’d sit in the dining room round a big wooden table, which Mum set beautifully with fresh flowers, then we tucked into the food presented on sharing plates. These days I serve sharing plates at my roaming restaurant, Forgotten Feast, so those early meals obviously made an impression.
