Restaurant review: La Clara, Kensington by Celia Clarke

I've taken (1) not booking a table in my real name for these restaurant reviews, as there's
always the fear that I'll receive special attention if they know I'm a food critic. For Adam Carter's
new restaurant, La Clara, on Kensington High Street, I took this one stage further by not booking a
table at all.

Earlier in the evening, some friends had come (2) for a chat and mentioned La Clara.

We decided just to drop (3) to see if there was a free table. There wasn't - always a
risk if you (4) up without booking, of course – but we decided to wait. And wait we
did. Having arrived at about 9.30, it was getting (5) for eleven before we were finally
seated. Incidentally, while we were having a drink at the bar, we ran (6) the food critic of
a rival newspaper. She said this was one of her favourite restaurants at the moment. I'd like to be
able to report that I now agree, but unfortunately our meal turned (7) to be far from
wonderful.

I ordered mushroom troubadour as a starter. The sauce tasted like the cream had (8) off.

It was practically inedible. My friend Jane ordered salmon sentinale. Fifteen minutes after my
mushrooms had arrived, the waiter came over to say that they had (9) out of salmon. He
went (10) to say that they would be closing at midnight. It was already 11.30. The head
chef of La Clara likes to try (11) one new dish every day. This is called the Chef's Special. I
decided to have this - a not-particularly-exciting pasta dish – for the main course. It wasn't bad, but
the waiter kept (12) coming over to see if we had finished. We hadn't. I'll leave (13)
a description of the dessert. We had to eat it so quickly I can't even remember what it tasted
like.

I don't want to (14) anyone off trying La Clara - all new restaurants have problems at the
start – but I for one shan't be going back any time soon.

ANTI-FASHION
by Lisa Wilkinson
If you ask me, it's high time they (1) away with fashion. I've had enough of it. Just when I
think I've finally got it right, I pop (2) a clothes shop to find that they've changed all
the rules! One minute it's cool to wear brand new expensive stuff, and the next you have to take all
that (3) and wear clothes that look as if they've been handed (4)
by your grandma. You can't win! Well, I've torn (5) my fashion magazines and
adopted anti-fashion. It's an idea that has grown (6) of frustration and, to be honest,
a lack of money to spend on yet another dress that I only wear once.

I started by drawing (7) a plan. I decided to line all my clothes (8)

together, try them all (9) and give to charity anything that either didn't fit or
suit me. Then, I wouldn't buy any more new clothes until something wore (10) . I
went (11) my plan again, and knew that I would have to be tough with myself.

After all, I’d spent a lot of money on some of that stuff. Finally, I plucked up the courage to do it. It
felt a little bit like being a child again, dressing (12) in your mum's clothes, but I also
felt a great sense of freedom.

That was a year ago and, although I occasionally see something and think, "Oh, that's gorgeous!", I
haven't thought any clothes. If you ever come over to my house and I (13) you around
my bedroom, you might see last season's fashions, but you'll also see a woman who feels free. And
that's anti-fashion. Do you think it'll catch (14) ?

It just takes hard work and commitment

Entrepreneur Jane Dickson describes how she got started
I was working as an IT Manager for a small publishing company (in fact, I was standing (1)
for the actual manager while she was away on maternity leave) when the company was
taken (2) by a large multinational media organisation. It was in the depths of the
recession, and initially our new owners promised to see our small company (3) the hard
times. Things got worse, though, and they finally backed (4) of their agreement. Our
company closed (5) . We were all made redundant - it was horrible!

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do next. I (6) down several offers of work as I didn't want to
rush into anything. Then, one day, I woke up and thought: I'm going to set (7) my own
business!'. At first it was tough. I had to (8) to everything myself – I was the only
employee! - but I set (9) it with dedication and refused to give up, whatever happened. Over
the last five years, as the company's grown, I've taken (10) more and more staff. Dickson's
now employs over five hundred people! I set (11) to be successful, and I've managed it. I
feel very lucky, although, to be honest, luck has nothing to do with it. It just takes hard work and
commitment. I don't feel satisfied yet, though. We're bringing (12) new products all
the time, and I want to continue doing that. I also want to speed (13) our production
process to make it more efficient. I'm not planning to slow (14) any time soon!
