The famed London restaurant, Le Caprice, has been a contemporary restaurant since the forties and it reflects the appetites of creative London. Everyone who has added an exclamation mark to the cultural life of the capital has voted on this menu at some time or other. This is a restaurant that has always been run by the customer's delight rather than the chef's whims.
The recipes from Le Caprice are a directory of what fashionable London fancies on a plate most often. Whether it is the lightest lunch, a restorative brunch or an indulgent first-night celebration, Le Caprice provides with practiced elan and panache.
Alongside the tried and applauded recipes; soups and stocks; starters; main courses; vegetables; desserts and cocktails, Gill takes a characteristically oblique look at why eating out has become the most popular social and cultural activity in recent years.
