Food & Friends in London

(Community Matters) Thanks, Cameron for connecting us to Taylor & Catherine Keep. Wow, what an outstanding young couple. They are living in London temporarily while Taylor completes a project for the Arup Group.

Catherine & Taylor Keep & ST at Amoul

I’ll get to Taylor’s very cool project at his very cool company. But, I have to talk about Amouls – wow. Founded six years ago by a longtime Londoner born in Lebanon, Amoul’s is about the homecooking Amal (Amoul) Oakes was not able to find in London. I met her briefly and spent a bit of time speaking with her daughter, Zeina. They are certainly proponents of the slow food movement and believe in only using fresh ingredients. Luckily, at the end of 2008, Amoul published a cookbook of her favorite receipes. An exquisitely published book with a fine burlap cover, I couldn’t resist and I can’t wait to experiment – especially the chicken livers in pomegranate molasses and savoury lamb pies.
