How Vegan Restaurant 'Cook Daily' Became A Culinary Mecca For ...

Cook Daily is the east London vegan eatery loved by JME, Emeli Sandé, and Professor Green.

I’ve created a dish having everyone in mind, so for example like the High Grade, that’s like stoner’s food – when people are hungry they need that fix.

It’s a Caribbean, Jamaican/African dish, with yams and plantains and ackee, all of these are foreign ingredients to some people but all of a sudden now people come to Cook Daily for the Hard Bowl because of the spiciness of it.

People say we do the best Pad Thai in London – it just happens that we use vegan prawns.

You can come to Cook Daily and have a High Grade with vegan chicken – it happens to be more healthy for you with no cruelty involved, and it tastes banging.

Cook Daily, restaurant review: vegan joint beloved of grime royalty ...

But a new Shoreditch haunt, Cook Daily, bucks the trend – all the food served is 100% vegan.

Boxpark, the shipping container-based Panopticon of brands that juts out at you as soon as you exit Shoreditch High Street station, is the home of Cook Daily (or #cookdaily, to use the Boxpark argot.)

The Hard Bowl comes with sprigs of thyme sitting on the top, and this rounds out the scotch bonnet sauce really well – practice caution with the actual scotch bonnet chilli itself though, even “occasionally putting my fork in it” was enough heat for my comrade.

The trick with this dish is the inclusion of steamed plantain, yams, and wholemeal dumplings – home-cooked Jamaican ‘hard food’ in this street-food style is a brilliant idea, vegan or not – comforting, but with that kick.

If, like us, you’re more than happy to trade 45 minutes of conversation for a bowl of good food, then the only other negative is that the display bananas previously mentioned, combined with the bin outside, means there may be fruit flies to battle with over your meal on a hot day.

Restaurant: Zucca, London SE1 | John Lanchester | Food | Life and ...

Zucca is a shiny new restaurant, all glass to the street and open-plan to the kitchen, in a part of London where I hadn't been for 20 years, Bermondsey.

Here, that last gratuitous spray of sodium chloride threw out the balance of the dish, since the duck had in any case been seasoned – the salt was the only thing you could taste.

It's hard to make exceptional pasta – it's by definition hard to make exceptional comfort food – but Zucca does, in this instance with a dish of rigatoni, courgettes and pecorino.

The temptation is to spike the sauce with a reduction and make it more like a posh French restaurant dish than a homely Italian one, yet Zucca passed that test.

Plain grilled swordfish with rocket salad and panzanella, the Italian bread sort-of-salad, was the kind of dish that offers the cook nowhere to hide, and lots of ways to go wrong.
