THE (EPIC) UMAMI CHEESEBURGER
Richard H Turner, the man from meaty London restaurants Hawksmoor, Pitt Cue and more, takes the cheeseburger and turns up the dial to 11 with this recipe from his new book. It’s a labour of love, with quite a few elements, but take one bite and you’ll know your time was well spent
“It’s impossible to improve on the simple perfection of the classic cheeseburger. There is, however, a Californian company in LA that comes close, and this is my take on their creation.”
