Where the lights of Spyglass would normally be switched off and the staff in hibernation, there’s now a glowing tent serving tasty food, all the way to the end of the year.
4a-5a Perrins Court, Hampstead, London, NW3 1QS t: 0207 431 9098 w: gingerandwhite.com I like small restaurants and cafes; the down to earth ones not many people know about or, if they’re known by many like my all-time favourite, Moro, the ones that have retained that non-chalance and familiarity that makes them all the more endearing.

I thought it wasn't possible to cook a really decent curry at home, but this book has helped prove me wrong. Covering Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, Burmese, Malaysian, Egyptian and Indonesian, there's a large scope of recipes to discover and build upon.

It was more than a good meal. It was a great meal, the kind of meal that reminds you why you go out for dinner. I don’t mind now if it rains all winter, my car breaks down and I have to buy a new phone because I know that there’s somewhere in Bristol that can make it all OK
