"Ricotta Gnudi, Pumpkin Buttermilk & Girolles Gnudi is a seductive-sounding thing for obvious reasons, but few dishes have been quite as luscious and sultry as this plate from The Baring in Islington. Plump little cloud-like ricotta gnudi, a paddling pool of silken pumpkin buttermilk, earthy girolle mushrooms, a few radicchio leaves, and a dusting of parmesan dust on top. When this pub's menu might also feature words like ‘beef rib’ or ‘boullabaisse’, it’s easy to overlook a vegetarian option. And to anyone whose instinct is just that, we say more fool you. Or, rather, no gnudi for you." - daisy meager, jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
