About the writing

The team does, between services. Chef Ellingsen edits everything; nobody gets away with claiming a dish they didn't cook.
Please do. Send ideas through the contact page marked "journal", and the best ones get written.
Rarely, and only from people we've eaten with. PR submissions go straight to the archive folder.
Some are, scaled for home kitchens. Others stay in the cookbook, which is available at the door and on the gift page.

Reading's done. Dinner isn't.

The journal is the warm-up. The dining room is the point.
