Darina Allen: My version of Dishoom's famous bacon naan bread is the perfect brunch
Dishoom's bacon naan is famous and for good reason.
Just had a ‘delicious’ long weekend in London. I'd forgotten how much I missed London and how much fun and excitement one can cram into a few days in one of the most exciting and innovative food cities in the world. And not just food: we also got to the Francis Bacon exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art, a must-see for those of you who, like me, were tormented and baffled by Bacon’s work heretofore.
By the way, Bacon was Irish — and thanks to Barbara Dawson, his studio is now on display in the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin. We were so longing for an injection of culture so we popped into many galleries and exhibitions. Unfortunately, time ran out so we didn't make it to the revamped Courtauld Institute of Art to see the Van Gough Exhibition — it's on until May 8 so hopefully next time. But we did manage to get tickets to the glorious Theodore production at The Royal Opera House, much of which was set in a kitchen, four glorious hours with some of the best voices in the world — DiDonato, Orlinski, Julia Bullock.
