Put the kettle on and spend five minutes with Holly Middleton-Joseph, head chef and director of Hausu in Peckham, and you quickly sense that cooking, for her, is rooted in instinct, heritage and honesty. Raised across cultures, with Chinese and Trinidadian roots woven into everything she makes, she came up through some of London's most respected kitchens before stumbling, almost accidentally, into a restaurant of her own.
After a phone call out of the blue and a month of building something from scratch on a shoestring, Hausu was born - and with it, a DIY spirit that still runs through every corner of the place. Now a National Restaurant Awards Rising Star, Holly reflects on cooking without a label, the new late-night bar upstairs, and why the food always has to feel true to her first.
