Mark of true genius

I was wrong about Mark Greenaway at Edinburgh's Hawke and Hunter.

I had got the impression that he was a molecular gastronomist, in the style of Heston Blumenthal – not the sort of food that lights me up. Consequently, I had assumed, from a quick glance at the menu, that his approach would be one that subordinates taste to appearance. Always keen to find places that I’m going to like, I hadn’t rushed along when the restaurant opened in February.
