• Polpo...I do love the design of his books though, the naked spine, so you could lie them flat to read recipes was a revelation (at least for me) and the recipes inside were good too..

    I might have some hazy memories but I'm sure @Regal played a part in the design of the Polpo cookbook? It's also one of my favourites as it was where I took my now wife on our very first date.

    I went to Fallow restaurant in Haymarket last week, their USP is using ingredients which are usually discarded. The cod's head was very good as were the corn ribs.

  • I didn’t design the Polpo book, it was done by a couple of friends that I was at art college with.

    I did do some work for Russell Norman a few years later when I was freelancing at the digital agency that made all his websites (they also did Ollie Dabbous’). I drew the logotype for his short-lived non-kosher Jewish deli called Mishkins.

    Very warm bloke, with a real eye for detail. He always knew exactly what he wanted.
