Dining in the dark

NIGELLA Lawson is back. After her controversial court appearances, she’s back on her screens in The Taste, a show that proves just how much we eat with our eyes.
The realisation dawns as I follow in her footsteps and sit blindfolded in a Dublin restaurant. I fumble with a small piece of bread at the centre of my plate, gauging the shape and texture of a cool, mousse-like topping. I pick it up cautiously, noting a sliver of wet fruit as a garnish.
