His different tasting menus The Story, Echoes of 100 (vegetarian) and Lunch Short Story (served exclusively for lunch on Fridays and Saturdays), are based around innovative cuisine with a constant nod (both physical and emotional) to his origins, although influences from his adopted homeland and further afield are also evident.
