I guess I'm looking for a special occasion restaurant and have read that Le Gavroche is the restaurant to go to for such an event. Also the set lunch looks like a fantastic deal, do they do this at dinner as well?

Hi, I'm looking for a recommendation for my mother's 50th birthday dinner in February next year. Ideally this would be a place with great food and an atmosphere that was not too formal. I am leaning towards Le Gavroche at the moment but would this be too formal? Do you have any other recommendations? Cheers

I’m a fifteen year old living just outside London and have recently managed to secure a week’s work experience at Hibiscus in the summer. I am delighted by this and I am really eager to learn more about food. Cooking is an industry I am really keen to get into. I watch food television regularly and cook when I can (usually at weekends). Also are there any cookbooks you recommend reading in helping me to build my basic skills? There is also a Michelin starred restaurant relatively local to me that has said they will keep me informed of any weekend jobs available. Do you suggest I apply somewhere more basic as well or should I try and keep nagging the restaurant into finding a place for me? I'm happy to work for free.

Yeah - I would be working in the kitchens.

I am hopefully going to be spending a week's work experience at Hibiscus. Anyone worked there before? What was it like? Matt
