Welcome! Summer of 2020 is one we will never forget. I’m starting to think this is a reset year. A few months ago, most of us joked about wanting to cancel this year or have a do-over. Fast forward to today and we are educating ourselves even more, standing up for what we believe in, being more vocal on social media, and taking small steps to move in the right direction for a better future. With everything happening in the world right now, I’ve started to seek joy in little things. During this lockdown, we experienced a surge in online searches, primarily for bread and cakes, on bbcgoodfoodme.com. It’s great knowing that more people are cooking, baking, and encouraging their kids to do the same. If you’re spending more time at home, try our Sourdough starter recipe (p24), Savoury tear and share bread (p32) and a decadent ice cream terrine that’s perfect for this sweltering heat (p34) .

Janie Manzoori-Stamford reports ext year, the Square restaurant in London’s Mayfair will celebrate its 25th Nbirthday. Reaching such a milestone is an accomplishment in any industry, but even more so when you consider that Philip Howard had only three years’ experience when he was made head chef and that the restaurant has retained two Michelin stars since 1998. It’s an achievement that countless chefs would love to emulate, though it wasn’t always plain sailing for the chef. Howard, who battled a cocaine addic- tion during the Square’s infancy, is the first to admit that it has been years of hard work, sacrifices and ups and downs. “But on the other hand, it has given me a life beyond my wildest dreams. I might have had some shit days, but I’ve never had a boring day,” he says. With a larger-than-most dining room, the Square, in its current home [it relocated from St James’s in 1996] boasts a lively atmosphere that eschews any pretensions to be a hushed temple of gastronomy.
