Food & Flowers

I recently read about Australian born chef Skye Gyngell at Petershams Nurseries Cafe, Richmond(right outside London). They were awarded a first Michelin star in January, 2011. I usually don't have any desire to visit those restaurants, been there, done that, but this is a rare exception. She is known for her unconditional love for flavors and freshness and works with seasonal products, creating very simple dishes and mostly from what is growing and flowering around her in their own gardens. The menu changes often, daily or weekly, to best be able to use what's in season. See the recent menu. Skye Gingell was earlier with Condé Nast as Food Editor at Vogue.
If you're not looking for dinner there is also a really pretty Teahouse. And if you, like me, adore flowers and plants, the greenhouse and gardens are a haven. http://www.petershamnurseries.com
