Between 1979 and 1981 between university and travelling I spent a few months on and off waitressing in the newly opened Woods Restaurant in Bath . It quickly became one of Bath’s go to restaurants and local celebrities like Peter Gabriel were regular visitors. Its still going today and still fun by the lovely David and Claude. I must pop in and say hello one day!. While I was working there the chef was a woman called Sharon and this is one of her dishes that always impressed.
A recipe for the cherry season from Nigel Slater. You can use leftover roast chicken if you have some but keep the pieces as large and juicy as possible.
A comforting dal from Diana Henry, who credits the Raita to Nik Sharma. If you like , you could just use some plain greek yoghurt instead of making raita.
