Last week I was offered the chance to sample the new summer menu at Redhook, a restaurant, cocktail and oyster bar in Farringdon that specialises in seafood and steaks. I had already eaten there last year, for the Cornish Grill sunday roast pop-up, cooked...

At the end of January I spent a weekend in Rome visiting family and friends. My best friend Giovanna took me out for lunch in a new restaurant in the Trastevere, called Fish Market. We arrived at noon on a Saturday; early for Roman standards, where it...
