Summary
'The dream is to bring really good food at a good price to as many
people as possible. It makes LEON sound like a new religion. If so,
it's one that can count our judges as among its growing
congregation of worshippers.' - Observer Food Monthly Awards The
first Leon restaurant, in London's Carnaby Street, opened its doors
in July 2004. For its founders - Henry Dimbleby, John Vincent and
Allegra McEvedy - the aim was to change the face of fast food, by
bringing fresh, wholesome cooking to the high street. Six months
later, Leon was named the Best New Restaurant in Great Britain at
the Observer Food Monthly Awards. The menu is based around bold
flavours, using simply-cooked fresh, local, natural ingredients
with an emphasis on seasonal dishes; it also reflects how our
eating habits change as the daylight house get longer and shorter.
Leon Naturally Fast Food is again a book of two halves. The first
half is Fast Food, which contains recipes for every occasion that
take a maximum of 20 minutes to prepare: from a work day breakfast
and children's meals to simple suppers and party food.
The second half is Slow Fast Food which contains things that can be made in advance when you have time, to enjoy when you don't have time. There is plenty in both halves for both the experienced cook and the culinary adventurer in search of inspiration. LEON's food message is a simple and honest one - cook and eat with the best ingredients available and don't forget the naughty bits that are so necessary for a fully-rounded life.
