chef-patron of Chishuru, the London West African restaurant that moved from a Brixton market residency to Fitzrovia. She is widely reported to hold a MICHELIN star and to be the first Black woman in the UK to do so; that claim was not verified in this pass — confirm against the live guide before printing it. Her Time Out pick stands on its own regardless.
