Description
Originally published in 2001 to enormous acclaim, Rowley Leigh superbly demonstrates culinary genius combined with a distinctive literary style. Well known through his weekly column in the Financial Times and his London restaurant, Le Cafe Anglais, it just felt wrong not to have this classic book in print for a fresh generation of readers.
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.
