Raymond Blanc, the chef-proprietor of Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, has catered for Valentine's Day in every restaurant he has owned in Britain for the past 35 years.
Earlier this year, chef Raymond Blanc invited me to try a place north of Soho that had opened in January called Dabbous ( www.dabbous.co.uk), as the chef, Oliver Dabbous, had trained under him for four years at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons.
