Armed with his new take on food delivery, in a nationwide approach, the Londoner delivers chilled dishes packed with flavour that can be warmed up in your oven, by following simple heating instructions provided in the package “You get a nice aroma”, he added. The dishes he hopes to deliver across Britain are Lamprais and Ambula. “The term ‘lamprais’ which loosely translates to a packet of lumped rice is an amalgam of very specific side dishes and a delightfully flavourful rice.” according to their website.
