` Leon serves food that is fresh, seasonal, locally sources & really good. The twist is that your food is served really fast. The double twist is how delicious it is.`
- Vogue The first Leon restaurant, in London`s Carnaby Street, opened its doors in July 2004. For its founders
- henry Dimbleby, John Vincent & Allegra Mc Evedy
- 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 & shorter. This is a book of two halves. The Ingredients Book arms you with everything you need to know about the basic building blocks of any recipe. LEON chooses its ingredients above all for their flavour & healthiness but also with a view to the world we live in, so that such shark-infested waters as sustainable fish are tackled & easy to navigate.LEON`s top 250 fruits, vegetables, fish, meats, dairy & store cupboard ingredients are all given their own entries. Nutrition, a bit of history, flavour & the best way to get the most out of them are all covered, seasoned with a fair amount of random miscellany. The second half is The Recipe Book, where you can put your newly found knowledge of ingredients to great use with over 140 recipes: some are familiar favourites taken from LEON`s menus such as the Original Superfood Salad, Moroccan Meatballs or Magic Mackerel Couscous &, for LEON Lovers everywhere, at last a recipe for the coveted LEON Better Brownie. Plus there are some recipes from the founders, their friends & those who helped make LEON what it is today, like Fred`s Millennium Octopus & David Dimbleby`s Spanish Omelette. LEON`s food message is a simple & honest one
- cook & eat with the best ingredients available & don`t forget the naughty bits that are so necessary for a fully-rounded life.

` To read this magnificent biography of Leonardo da Vinci is to take a tour through the life & works of one of the most extraordinary human beings of all time in the company of the most engaging, informed, & insightful guide imaginable. Walter Isaacson is at once a true scholar & a spellbinding writer. & what a wealth of lessons there are to be learned in these pages.` David Mc Cullough Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo`s astonishing notebooks & new discoveries about his life & work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo`s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, & an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy. He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper & the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science & technology. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, & weaponry. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities & the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history`s most creative genius. His creativity, like that of other great innovators, came from having wide-ranging passions. He peeled flesh off the faces of cadavers, drew the muscles that move the lips, & then painted history`s most memorable smile. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, & produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. Isaacson also describes how Leonardo`s lifelong enthusiasm for staging theatrical productions informed his paintings & inventions. Leonardo`s delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a mis
Fit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, & at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance of instilling, both in ourselves & our children, not just received knowledge but a willingness to question it-to be imaginative &, like talented misfits & rebels in any era, to think different.
