An interview with Jeremy Lee

Jeremy is a chef, producing timeless fare for London Soho’s historic Quo Vadis. He is also the proud wearer of another modern British classic, Judd in Dark Turtle.

We posed him some questions, which he answered in typically lyrical fashion. On his recipes and scribblings and daydreams and spectacles and everything in between.
