Went to emba* (Mustard Wharf Lockside, Leeds) for lunch with SWMBO - it used to the The Owl (still run by Liz Cottam, who was in 2016 Masterchef).

We shared a couple of plates for starters - fire toasted bread with freshly churned butter, olives, chorizo, and fennel sausage, then for mains I had rack of lamb, potato aioli, red walnut pesto, and mint purée, SWMBO had pork schnitzel with potato purée and mushroom & red wine sauce, and we shared crispy butter fried potatoes with aioli and an absolutely outstanding asparagus & crushed pea salad with dashi and Parmesan shavings.

For dessert we had a milk ‘bomb’ (Dulce de Leche, lemon, & fennel) with toasted crushed hazelnuts, and spiced apple pastry with vanilla cream.

Absolutely delicious meal, and we were served by Liz, who explained the ingredients of each course and how it had been prepared and cooked - really added to the enjoyment of the meal.

*just opened today.
