Masterchef winner Dhruv Baker was in for lunch yesterday with wife Aileen and 21 month old Arun - a breather after a hectic day of media interviews on Thursday. They live locally in Earlsfield and have been in a couple of times previously, with Arun a particular fan of the fish goujons (which were off the menu, damnit - will investigate). Dhruv had the pork pie and picallili and Aileen had the wild garlic spaghetti, and we sent them packing with a blood orange pannacotta for later. He gave up the day job in February and is now looking for a restaurant site in London. It must be super weird to be catapulted into the public eye like this. Gregg was saying yesterday that viewing figures peaked at over 7 million for the Masterchef final on Wednesday night, so going to the supermarket is interesting for Dhruv these days, with a lot of interest in what’s in his shopping basket.
