'Some things are better cooked in that's why people go to them. But the converse is equally true. There are plenty of dishes that no restaurant does properly.'Distinguished chef and food writer Rowley Leigh places these dishes at the heart of his first book. Home cooking is celebrated for its simplicity, seasonality and the delights of eating at home and cooking for friends. This encompasses the art of making good gravy, sautéing potatoes and grilling sea bass, as well as digressions into Euro food, Australian cricket and the strangeness of rhubarb, amongst others. Menus are based on events such as Boxing Day lunch, Hallowe'en Night and a May birthday lunch for a 'fishetarian' aunt.Beautifully written and illustrated with original line drawings and colour photography, this is an elegant, witty and irresistible invitation to keep those home fires burning.

Paperback. Condition: New. Split into four chapters - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter - Rowley picks out exactly what is in season, and devises menus for a variety of events which range from the downright amusing 'club dinner for the rich uncle', to a painstaking 'the vegetarian in Lent' to terrifying 'still courting: a foursome'. There is nothing here that could not satisfy the most pernickety of diners, and Rowley ends each chapter with a practical hint on a particular subject, such as frying steak properly or a discourse on the Jerusalem artichoke. With over 250 carefully selected recipes, a brilliant suppliers list and directory, the reader and cook is transported instantly into Rowley's own kitchen at home, where simple, seasonal food is cooked as vibrantly as possible.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
