Why this night
The last outdoor fire of the year. When the weather turns, this menu goes away until spring.
Vegetable-led
Meat is a garnish this time.
Outdoors, late September
A warm layer, again.
Twelve seats
Booked two at a time, mostly.
Amara Okafor
Amara learned to cook between Lagos and Atlanta. Fire sits at the centre of every course — she will not plate a dish that has not seen wood smoke.
