Fay Maschler's week in food, from Beluga Persian Grill to The Sun & 13 Cantons

A very Good Friday: Quiche Lorraine cooked by Maschler's daughter-in-law
Fay Maschler24 April 2019

Generous panir sabzi (cheese, herbs, walnuts) plus spirited chelo kubide (grilled minced lamb) at Beluga Persian Grill, Notting Hill, where modest prices belie Swarovski chandeliers and Versace cutlery.

Devilled lamb faggot at the new residency Jeow Jeow in The Sun & 13 Cantons pub in Soho, where Tania Steytler Knott’s cooking, assisted by her husband Bill (aka Knottipedia), is based on travels around the Mekong.

Real women make quiche Lorraine, cooked by my daughter-in-law Jane for supper on Good Friday.

Dangling and spinning a leg of lamb on a string — lamb à la ficelle — beside an open fire, we are following instructions from chef Alex Jackson’s new book Sardine, inspired by his eponymous Hoxton restaurant. It works brilliantly.

Chicken liver pâté with toast and chutney at The Westbourne, where every man, woman and their dogs are lolling in the sunshine.
