ON THE TABLE

What we’ve been enjoying in the world of food and travel

I’VE BEEN USING…

Marmite Smooth Peanut Butter. It works on toast as a snack, of course, but also as a base for an umamirich satay sauce to go with grilled chicken. Delicious. Lauren Gamp, senior designer

I’VE BEEN READING…

William Sitwell’s new book, The Restaurant: A History of Eating Out (£20, Simon & Schuster). It covers the fascinating history of global restaurant culture, from the Romans to the invention of the sushi conveyor belt (much earlier than you might think) and beyond. Nicola Trup, deputy editor

I’VE BEEN INDULGING IN…

Toucinho do céu, a Portuguese almond cake, traditionally made with pork lard and loads of egg yolks. Connor Mcgovern, contributor

I’VE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT… My last meal out before lockdown — a seafood banquet at Indian restaurant Jamavar, in London’s Mayfair. The highlight was the sumptuous little parcels of stone bass tikka, although the tangy scallop moilee and the thick Jamavar dhal came close. Glen Mutel, editor
