Summary

Good food honed from great ingredients is the principle at the heart of Cooking。

There are sections on the usefulness and frugality of breadcrumbs, black olive crumbs to serve with everything; 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 purée。

Cooking is brimming with stories, wit, infectious joy for food and indispensable advice。 It is brilliantly illustrated by John Broadley and photographed by Elena Heatherwick, and will surely be one of the most distinctive cook books published for years from the renowned chef, Jeremy Lee。

Becky

This is an absolutely beautiful cookbook, although I don't think it is one that will be very easy to actually use due, largely, to the layout。It has the feel of old-school classic recipe collections, and is beautifully put together。 This is an absolutely beautiful cookbook, although I don't think it is one that will be very easy to actually use due, largely, to the layout。It has the feel of old-school classic recipe collections, and is beautifully put together。 。。。more

Beautiful, tasteful, tasty, classic。I actually gasped when I received this book。 It's so beautiful。 It certainly doesn't look like your standard cookbook。 Beautifully designed and presented with lovely illustrations heading up each chapter and gracing the cover and endpapers。 Lee writes with obvious fondness about his Scottish childhood and the origins of his appreciation of ingredients coming from his parents - their knowledge of local and seasonal fare。 I imagine this is the kind of book that Beautiful, tasteful, tasty, classic。I actually gasped when I received this book。 It's so beautiful。 It certainly doesn't look like your standard cookbook。 Beautifully designed and presented with lovely illustrations heading up each chapter and gracing the cover and endpapers。 Lee writes with obvious fondness about his Scottish childhood and the origins of his appreciation of ingredients coming from his parents - their knowledge of local and seasonal fare。 I imagine this is the kind of book that will age delightfully, and that my copy will become battered and stained from a long life in the kitchen, possibly with messy notes scrawled in the margins and scrappy bits of paper sticking out but will look all the better for it, to be passed on to the kids when they're older。It sounds like the book came out of lockdown, with the return to good home cooking but improved with years of experience at the top of the profession。 I found Lee's excitement at ingredient deliveries and experimenting rather lovely。 Many of the chapters are headed by a particular ingredient, from artichokes and salsify (which I had never heard of) to the more familiar, like garlic, potatoes and chocolate。 Lee's joy in celebrating good ingredients comes through - introducing us to them, what to look out for, good suppliers。 Others cover broader themes such as biscuits, fish, impromptu suppers, offal, pies, salads, vegetables, soup and sweet somethings。 There are also useful sections about equipment, pantry or cupboard staples, supplier list and types of leaves and herbs。 Recipes range from basics such as types of pastries, the pleasure of homemade breadcrumbs and different stocks to more complex sounding dishes。 There are great sounding snacks as well as meals to share。 I immediately went for the Pies chapter and on the way home collected the ingredients for the chicken, leek and tarragon pie which was much welcomed by the rest of the family that night。 I was pleased to see that a lot of the ingredients are standard ones and used in multiple recipes and substitutes are suggested。This feels a great basis to start understanding ingredients, how best to use them and what goes together rather than just blindly following recipes。 I'm looking forward to getting a lot of use out of this book plus it's a perfect one to gift to foodies。 You can probably tell I loved it。 Off to try spiced marmalade steamed pudding now。。。 。。。more
