There's a reason why the Hot Dinners team could NEVER stick to a low-carb diet. For us it's all about the bread that begins a meal and, just as importantly, the butter that goes with it. London's chefs have been getting every more adventurous and creative with their butters this year. We pick some of our recent favourites you need to put on your list
