Pick and mix

AROUND the corner from my publishers in Camden Town, London, there’s a little neighbourhood restaurant that I love.

I discovered it some years ago when my editor almost chained me to the desk in an effort to extract the final manuscript of one of my books. We took a break to grab a bite of lunch at the local Lebanese restaurant and found a little gem.

Le Mignon is in Delancey Street NW1, well away from the Lebanese epicentre that is Edgeware Road. I ordered much more than I could eat, ate much more than I should and brought the rest away in little boxes to have a picnic on the plane.
