You've probably never seen anyone run into a room brandishing a broccoli with as much enthusiasm as Horton Jupiter.
From the moment we arrived in the "waiting room" ( some old sofas in a back garden somewhere in Hackney) for the evening's second sitting at Horton's place we had a feeling it was going to be fun. We could see Horton moving like a white-coated ninja through a steamy kitchen window as he transformed vegetables into a multi-coursed Japanese meal. As the previous sitting departed with big smiles Horton showed us into his front room where we joined 8 other guests under mellow lights, eating intricately prepared courses of vegetables and pickles off mirrored plates (Horton is a rock star after all). The meal was topped of with bowls of miso, sticky rice and sweet, hot sake.
I'd walked past this place every day on the way to work and as I left it made me wonder what else was going on in the backstreet flats of Hackney...
To meet Horton (and his helper)...
