In London for Wimbledon these next two weeks? Since tennis fans can’t live on volleys, smashes and match points alone, we enlisted Jemima Jones — who co-founded catering company Tart London with Lucy Carr-Ellison — to share her top culinary picks in the city. Here wearing a few looks from Tory’s Pre-Fall 2015 collection, Jones took some time out from her busy schedule of serving good eats at fashion shoots to talk farmers’ markets and best new boîtes.
Tart London is…
A catering company that specializes in on-site cooking for top fashion shoots, using seasonal, fresh and sustainably sourced food.
My version of the Proust madeleine…
[My business partner] Lucy Carr-Ellison’s white chocolate, cardamom and raspberry tart with a roast pecan and hazelnut crust.
Best new restaurant in London…
Rabbit on King’s Road.
And the tried-and-true classics everyone should visit…
Petersham Nurseries, Nobu, River Cafe, Honey & Co., and Pizza East.
The best farmers’ markets in London…
Queen’s Park and Marylebone High Street.
Best spots for tea…
Wolseley for their afternoon tea and cakes — yum!
And best spot for a cocktail…
Loulou’s — get the cucumber martini with basil.
Favorite place for a late-night bite…
My fridge.
The one dish I never get tired of…
Spaghetti Bolognese.
And my favorite cookbooks…
Diana Henry’s Change of Appetite — it’s exciting and varied. Skye Gyngell’s A Year In My Kitchen — it’s beautifully put together. And The River Cafe Cookbook, the blue one — it’s an all-time classic.
