From ancient China to the British breakfast table, in 6,000 years. Helen Hokin charts the rise and fall of one of the oldest fruits of all with recipes by Linda Tubby
Growing up in
Devon, Harriet felt a deep
connection with
nature. Weekend
jobs in hospitality
around Sidmouth
had her hooked on the buzz and
camaraderie. Her
Twenties saw her
cheffing on yachts
(from Qatari royals
in the Seychelles to the Murdochs’
sailing yacht). On returning to the South West,
Harriet opened her
debut restaurant
Robin Wylde before
launching Lilac –
its expansion into
the Garden Table
this summer reflects
her passion for the outdoors.
