The Three Chimneys: Recipes and Reflections from The Isle of Skye's Famous Restaurent (Signed Copy)

The Three Chimneys on the Isle of Skye is one of the world's finest restaurants. Confirmation of its status came earlier this year when the respected The Restaurant magazine placed it at number 28 in its annual survey of the World's Top 50 restaurants. The Three Chimneys was the only Scottish restaurant on the list, and one of only five in the UK. Award-winning chef Shirley Spear and her husband Eddie have come a long way since they upped sticks from London almost 20 years ago and headed north with a dream of starting their own restaurant in a converted croft on the Isle of Syke. Now Shirley has drawn on her experiences to put together a visually stunning and highly readable book. A winning combination of recipes, culinary essays, personal anecdotes and over 100 evocative images - of Skye, its produce and Shirley's mouth-watering creations - this is more than just a cookery book.

Shirley Spear grew up in Edinburgh. She began a career in journalism in Dundee, later moving to London where she met her husband-to-be, Eddie Spear. Together they opened a restaurant on the Isle of Skye, The Three Chimneys, which has gone on to gain world-wide acclaim, was rated in the top 50 restaurants in the world and one of only two restaurants in Scotland to be awarded a Michelin star. Shirley and Eddie now divide their time between the Isle of Skye and a home in North Berwick, East Lothian.
