"Timing is everything. On the day #HelenGraham moved into a new flat in #Hackney she signed the deal on her #recipebook, #Centrepiece. On the day after she moved out she handed in the #manuscript.

“You could say that Centrepiece was bookended by the flat, which was the perfect place to do all the #recipe testing because it had a huge island in the #kitchen,” she tells me via Zoom from her new flat, which doesn’t have the same space.

Formerly executive #chef at famed #vegetarian #restaurant #Bubala, which opened in #Spitalfields in 2019, Helen, 38, had always wanted to write a recipe book. “After Bubala, I felt there was a gap in the market for a vegetarian entertaining #book."
