Alice and Mridu in the kitchen, lots more pictures by George Lamb and Euan Wheatley on Flickr

World Kitchen in Leith was a really memorable experience for the team and from the kind feedback (so to speak) our guests had a good night too. Coming soon more food stories and some of those recipes from last night’s menus. But first we still have a bit of clearing up to do.
