We always have fried eggs on the menu . My take on fry eggs is that they should be A-one crispy on the bottom and the yolk should be fluid and gooey . For the first few eld , the fried egg were served simply on pledge with butter . As we fix meddlesome and started try out with how a fried egg could evolve we came up with different topping . The caramelised chilli sage butter is by far the most popular .
When Rachel O’Sullivan , chef extraordinare , joined the squad a few year ago , she came up with this formula , but I also want you to know about some of the chef who have had to cook this dish millions of metre . Sarah , Sara , Rosie , Polly , Micky , Eleni , Ella , Casey and Leah . My brigade , without all of whom I could not do this . A great deal of them start with very piffling experience and to see how dedicated they are and how hard they work is rightfully amazing . Breakfast can be the busiest service of the day and they often do it on their own . They are so significant to me and for the performance of the kitchen – it is a low infinite , it gets busy and stressful , but as a team we do it , some day elated , some day deflate . They are just as important as I am in the kitchen and this is my ode to them .

Procedure
Canal Life
I was in India a couple of winter ago with friends and , while four of us were haring around the Mysore market like unruly children , my partner Rob angle up against a stall trade tabernacle paraphernalia and quietly find out it all go by . ‘ It ’s like the Great Barrier Reef , ’ he said . ‘ Why swim around trying to see everything ? I just drop to the bottom and stay until I need to hail up for air . ’
Our perch at Towpath feels something like that – a fix degree in a kaleidoscope of water supply , sun , ( duckweed ! ) , rain , tip , ice , ( snow ! ) , coots , swan , geese , ( terrapins ! ) , pike , ( eels ! ) , narrowboats , kayaks , ( coal barges ! ) , walkers , moon curser , ( police frogman ! ) , wheeler , dogs , ( foxes ! ) .

On most day , though , there ’s a oddly arcadian air to our particular bite of the channel , surprising for something both man made and situated three minutes from a dizzying stretchability of the Kingsland Road . I’ve spent many an hr wait out at it from behind the saloon , mull what particular combination of element gives this little patch of water and land its shadowy sense of countryside .
There is the way the channel cut just as it meets the bridge , whose Georgian brickwork arch depleted and wide over the water . On one side is a stand of waver silver gray birches . On the other , an elder ( from whose blossoms we make elderflower cordial ) and a grand old sycamore with gnarled , sprawling limb . In midsummer , the late setting Dominicus teem golden light through the underside of the bridgework .
I am not wax lyrical – it is a beautiful muckle .
On summer nights , the place can finger like a bayou . The city dissolves into dark , the pee an ink-black black , broken only by the boring passage of a boat or the skittering of waterbirds . We have yet to tyre of the second when we sour off the last light and see the liquid , rippled expression of water appear on our tiled wall , like stars in the Nox .
We have our contribution of urban Huckleberry Finns . Boys trailing fishing pole with all the time in the public to cast their lines , sit patiently and wait . One of them , a diffident , lanky teenager named Henry , bring us pic of his prize snatch – a glittering pike as long as his outstretched arms .
in the end , there is the piss itself , reflecting back London ’s moody sky , spark in sunshine , pattered with rain , bubble by wind , hosting its parade of birds and boats . . .and sometimes alas , the trumpery , which seems to gather and travel across the water like some distant cousin of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch . We are , after all , in what was once the gamy part of the large city in Europe . Which means that some day the canal feels like Varanasi on the Ganges , with its funeral pyres , ablutions , clothes washing and entreaty offerings all happening at once . A collision of the sacred and the profane . open up your eye to any of it and you get , as Zorba the Greek call it , ‘ the full catastrophe ’ . This is a good affair , though not always an sluttish one . Unless you ’re totally blinkered , it is arduous to ignore .
We could argue until the cows come home about whose responsibility it is to make things better.
The council ca n’t keep up with the wish-wash , which pile up every weekend beside the one lonely bin next to the bridge . The Canal & River Trust has the task of caring for miles of an increasingly meddlesome waterway as an underfunded charity . The infrastructure is deficient to the tasks required of it . It ’s a familiar melodic phrase . Maybe the whole existence is going to pot and we really are doom . And so ? Meanwhile , rubbish begets rubbish .
Luckily the opposite is true .
There are two little green spaces on either side of our bridgework . When we first opened Towpath , the far one was fill by two expectant dead trees and the near one by overgrown shrubs and ten of accumulated junk . With the help of our friend Kevin , master copy Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree operating surgeon and accordion player , we stab up the trees and replaced them with a ramshackle put up garden . This year , thanks to Rob ’s green thumb , there are sunflowers , cistus , orange cosmos and althaea . The bush made way for bike hoop , a raised woodchip bottom we call ‘ the beach ’ and a rampart of climbing rose , wisteria , hop and clematis . Neither garden is ever as be given as we ’d like it to be . And there is still litter , though not nearly as much .
The canal seems to draw in the sort of citizenry who not only go out of their way to come after its watery path through the neighbourhood , but are unforced to roll up their sleeves and facilitate take care of it . This yr the Wildlife Gardeners of Haggerston raise money for floating reed bed and planted them with rushing and sedge , which will act as a natural water filter and purifier , and provide a living habitat for fish , birds and butterflies . To our slap-up good circumstances , they ’ve anchored one of their float sanctuaries justly across from the Towpath .
Cleaning up the neighbourhood is not an event , it ’s an approach . Which with any luck becomes a riding habit . Like brushing your teeth . It ’s good for you and it find ripe than ignoring the whole mess . And we ’ve mark something – helper is all around . All you have to do is ask .
We carry out our small beautification projection in the low - tech manner with which we do most matter . Whoever has the adept handwriting will chalk up a plea for volunteer gardener on a blackboard and tilt it up on the table with the water jug and glasses . And they arrive , bless them , even in rain , even if they know nothing about gardening and even if there ’s nothing to do but pot , water system and pick up rubbish . The past pair of years we ’ve collaborated with the Canal & River Trust on canal clean - ups . We supply the humanity , women and children . They turn up with kayaks , canoes , bedding material - pickers , grappling hooks and the services of one of their recollective , insipid barge to collect our haulage . It is by necessity a wholly collaborative effort . One person toddle or steers while the others seek to grab whatever ’s been spotted in the water . It ’s screaming good fun that happens to do a bit of good . And there are few sights as endearing as that of a bunch of seven yr olds in high - vis lifejackets butt against up and down the canal flourish bedding material picker or sit in a rowboat scanning the H2O for treasures . Then wanting to know when they can come up back and do it again .
