Finally I could stand the guilty feeling no longer. As we rolled through the tunnels, the question rolled through my mind: what was Paul Toogood (his real name) doing cooking opposite a suburban shopping mall? The answer is: excellent food. From the Romagna-style flatbread to the lavender, chestnut and honey ice-cream, there wasn't a dish that we didn't like. In fact, there were several for which I would happily hop in the car to make the journey again. That Romagna-style flat bread with warm ricotta, mixed greens, chilli and jamon for one. Ethereal, feather-light bread with air bubbles and a scorch of oven. Clean Spanish serra...
