Good food honed from great ingredients is Jeremy Lee’s principle at the heart of Cooking.
Cooking is brimming with stories, infectious joy for food and indispensable advice from Jeremy Lee, the chef behind Soho’s well-loved Quo Vadis.
There are sections on the usefulness and frugality of breadcrumbs; impromptu puddings like peaches in wine with bay leaves or plum compote with ricotta and hazelnuts; pea dishes galore; superb versions of classics like chocolate St Emilion and pommes Anna; big dishes to serve a few such as marinated chicken with roast pumpkin salad; and essentials like a wild garlic puree.
