Darina Allen's gives us her 'London list' of recipes to make at home

LONDON, just a little hop from any of our airports, has been one of the hottest food destinations in the world for more than a decade now.

There are many multi-starred establishments but also lots of small restaurants run by passionate young chefs and cooks who are creating links with farmers and food producers and turning out edgy modern British as well as multi ethnic food.

I get regular requests for my ‘London list’ so here are some of my current favourites.
