The Menu: Why recipe kits are a great way to get back cooking

Many customers find cooking from scratch hugely beneficial for physical and mental wellbeing

The Yellow Bittern (TYB) is a nondescript 18-seater London restaurant that opened last October offering old school bistro-and-Irish menu. All bookings are by phone and only cash is accepted in payment. Yet, thanks to the online provocations of the chef/proprietor, Belfast-man Hugh Corcoran, it is already one of the most controversial and talked about restaurants in hospitality, garnering astonishing coverage, including a recent feature in The New York Times.

Corcoran is a staunch Republican and communist. His business/life partner is Lady Frances Armstrong-Jones (daughter of Princess Margaret’s former husband), a romantic juxtaposition of ‘blueblood’ and ‘Republican/communist’ further spicing the pot.
