Gail's Artisan Bakery Cookbook

Book excerpt: Gail's bakeries are loved by many and touted by some as the best in London with branches all over the city. And now they're branching out with their first restaurant as Gail's Kitchen comes to Bloomsbury. The new restaurant will be right next to their latest bakery and will be an all-day place with a bar too. Dishes to expect include: Breakfast dishes such as breakfast pizza, french toast, minute steak, bacon sarnies -- and, of course, plenty of pastries. There will be all-day snacks like baked Puglia olives with chilli, garlic & lemon; Cornish mackerel & grilled white cabbage sarnie or Gail's fave sourdough soldiers. Lunch & dinner dishes will feature slow cooked oxtail & baked potato and a steak sandwich with onion watercress & fresh horseradish or bresaola Soprana with roasted beetroots & rocket. And finally desserts might be a brioche ice-cream sandwich or croissant-wrapped pear with brown sugar custard, and savouries such as raclette on toast with pickled onions. There is a small wine list too, a short cocktail list (including a Negroni and a pomegranate Bellini) and a range of bottled beers as well as fresh juice and smoothies.
