About Ox Barn at Thyme’s Diana Henry-inspired menu
Diana Henry is adored for her scrumptious recipes that have become favourites in households up and down the nation and, indeed, further afield.
Her column in the Telegraph, amongst other eminent publications and her many books have won her countless awards, including a much sought-after James Beard Award in 2016 for her cookbook dedicated to chicken recipes – A Bird in the Hand.
20 years after its first publication, Diana Henry’s critically acclaimed and magical book Roast Figs, Sugar Snow: Food to warm the soul has been republished this Autumn with a new foreword by fellow food writer Nigel Slater.
To kick off the Christmas season at Thyme, Diana will be at Thyme to talk about revisiting this timeless classic, the original inspiration, the travel then and now and learnings after two decades of inspiring food writing with food editor Molly Tait-Hyland.
To further celebrate this exciting occasion and sell-out event, Thyme’s Chef Director, Charlie Hibbert, has taken inspiration from the book to dedicate a set lunch menu to Diana to accompany Thyme’s Ox Barn’s A La Carte lunch menu from Friday, 01 to Sunday, 03 December, which will feature:
Starter: A salad of pears, hazelnuts and Cashel Blue cheese
Main: Duck breast with allaide

Review
“Roast Figs, Sugar Snow has been in my kitchen since the day I first opened it. Here is a book that celebrates not only the ingredients of the winter shopping bag, the pumpkins and pomegranates, chestnuts and soft, sweet spices, but the heart and soul of the season. Each paragraph is a carol to what makes the cooking of the cold months something to cherish.” – Nigel Slater.
