Max Rocha is the chef and owner of the newly opened, and much acclaimed Cafe Cecilia, on the canal in East London. He has quite the illustrious CV, spending time at Spring, The River Cafe and St. John Bread and Wine.
Max's cafe is a result of what he learned at all these restaurants, and from cooking and cooking and cooking. Notably, he's taken some inspiration from his favourite cookbook, and our topic of conversation, Prune by Gabrielle Hamilton. From the cookbook, to her memoir Blood, Bones and Butter, her stint on the PBS show Mind of a Chef, and the vintage Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve menus on Prunes website... there's lots to talk about.
