vividly remember the first time I saw him in a dark corner of a little place called Brown Sugar. I remember thinking how I had never seen anything like him before. Was he Scottish? Was he Italian? I would have never guessed that he could be...both?! We quickly became friends as I was invited to several 6th floor kitchen feasts I would come to love. They were filled with great cuisine, good laughs and very interesting people! Thank you Nicola for making my time at Bankside a little more exciting ;) Will miss you darrrrrrling, forever my favourite Italian-Scot!
