When I was busy dreaming about what 2-do in London - top of my list was Ottolenghi
It took me a few days to search out their shop in Kensington on #1 Holland street, though Gawd knows why?
Once I found it I was committed. Recipe for chermoula baked aubergine with bulgar and Greek yogurt here.
Lock, stock and smoking barrel! Click here for the recipe.
YUM! More here on their philosophy of food.
I took my box of goodies out to Kensington Gardens just like you all told me I should...
When it came time for dessert I swooned...
I must have an inner geiger counter that leads me to top desserts. This Passion fruit meringue tart IS THE BEST DESSERT I'VE EVER EATEN!
!!!
First look in their window I spotted it...
And managed to pass up...
So many other gorgeous beauties, including this strawberry-lemon cupcake...
Raspberry-Lemon cupcake in London, watercolor, 9" x 11" Though I did manage to paint it today...
Here's a pre-painting exercise of blush-washes of colors I'm playing with. They barely translate on the scanner :( 
Regarde: I even passed up these heavenly-looking lemon tarts! 
I ate a grand total of... 
FOUR PASSION FRUIT MERINGUE TARTS!Plus sharing another with Sue Snell...does that count?
Please do search out one of the four Ottolenghi's in London and report back what you think about the Passion Fruit Meringue tart. Once I arrived and there were none on display. I nearly hyper-ventilated. They immediatement rushed downstairs to fetch a big tray. Huge sigh of relief. It is their most popular tart. So just ask if you don't see it. This tart merits a trip to London alone, it's that fabulous! Listen up all you Parisien patissiers.
Ottolenghi has a new cookbook out so you can make these luscious goodies at home.BONJOUR & CONGRATS OTTOLENGHI!!!
You can find more recipes from Ottolenghi in the Guardian too.
