A LONG AND MESSY BUSINESS

'The life so short, the craft so long to learn'. Most cookery books emphasise how easy their recipes are. They lie. Cooking, like life, karate and playing the violin, has to be learnt. That is why it is so rewarding. This is a long, unmessy and beautifully illustrated book, documenting my cooking and ruminations over the last few years. And I'll cook your dinner.
