Racine seems to have been welcomed with open arms by critics and customers alike. It would appear that London was crying out for the sort of robust French food you are currently dishing up, and is in strong contrast to the "jelly and ice cream" school of cooking that makes the headlines at the moment. Is this a happy coincidence, or did you sense the time was right for such a venture?
