Brothers Adrian and Michael Daniel have been running London's most successful vegetarian restaurant since December 1989.

When Adrian, aged 17, announced to his mother that he was going to be vegetarian, she cried: "What are you going to eat? You don't even like vegetables". After a year of pizza and chips Adrian decided he'd better learn to cook. His Indo-Iraqi Jewish Grandmother served as inspiration - as children the brothers confess to being obsessed by her cooking and recall that even her most simple breakfasts would illicit passionate admiration.

Adrian's approach to cooking is an eclectic one - drawing on a wide range of ethnic cuisines, selecting the best combinations and creating dishes that have earned him a reputation as one of London's finest vegetarian chefs.
