Lori De Mori Author

Laura Jackson cooked at Rochelle Canteen and at the Auberge de Chassignolles in France before coming to Towpath. She’s drawn chefs like Rosie Sykes, Davo Cook and Rachel O’Sullivan to cook with her in Towpath’s kitchen. Her food is seasonal, honest, unfussy and comforting – and so delicious people have been known to come for breakfast and stay through lunch. She delights in making everything from pickles to ice cream herself. And takes her inspiration where she finds it – so long as it’s about making the ingredients shine.
