"I'm not going to go all scientific on you, but at 70°C (160°F) something magical happens. At that temperature, the so-called tougher of chewier cuts of meat begin to break down and become meltingly tender and a joy to eat. Basic ingredients can blend into something spectacular. Something as simple as a beef stew using inexpensive ingredients can become a delicious healthy meal the whole family can enjoy." - Dean Edwards

After coming in second in BBC's Masterchef Goes Large in 2006, Dean Edwards sought to change his life radically by leaving his career to pursue his love of cooking and food.

Dean's likeable persona and family-friendly cooking style has made him a firm favourite on ITV's Lorraine since 2010, but he originally made his ITV debut on This Morning in September 2009, where he featured in a weekly cookery slot, creating dishes for the ITV audience. His previous book, Cook Slow, is also published by Hamlyn.
