Last time I was at Petersham Nurseries, it was sunny and warm and Skye Gyngell was cooking. Last night was wet and miserable and there was a new chef at the stoves, Greg Malouf of Momo’s fame in Melbourne. Greg has moved to London, and he will be offering his wonderful modern take on Middle Eastern food at Petersham Nurseries. Dinner last night was quite delicious, particularly the rabbit in the picture above and the lamb and frikeh which he served afterwards. And before that, the best tomatoes (from southern Italy) I have had this year in London, served them with a soft curd cheese sprinkled with a little chilli and dried herbs. A marvellous start to the meal. And to finish, luscious meringue topped with cream and berries alongside a refreshing sorbet topped with the most adorable camel biscuits.
I hope that next time I will go there — which I will be doing despite the nurseries being exactly the other side of town from where I am — I will get to walk through the lovely narrow lane leading to the nurseries in less dramatic weather conditions!

Wonderful news! Hope Greg Malouf will be around the kitchen…next time I want to plan a walk up river to Strawberry Hill, Horace Walpole’s Neo-Gothic pile, a must!
