FOOD FROM THE HEART
“This is a dish I eat all the time, I just love it. I’m addicted to the salty flavour of the sea, the nutty taste of the clams and the deep richness of the ham – all you need to go with it is crusty bread to mop up those amazing juices.”
“I must have this simple but satisfying sandwich at least once every couple of weeks. With the pickles and spicy rose mayonnaise, you get that awesome contrast of hot and cold, soft and crisp.”
THIS BOOK STARTED out as a compilation of my best recipes so far. However, it soon took on a life of its own, and it has become much, much more than that. The target of around 100 recipes was quickly exceeded and the book has turned into a book of everything I love – and love to cook. The result is a collection of dishes that are incredibly satisfying, taking in everything from a bowl of noodles to a simple family meal or the making of a wonderful dinner party.
Cooking is really an enjoyable craft – with the important outcome of feeding us – and the way to improve in any craft is simply to practise and focus on what you are doing. If you do this every time you cook, your skills will get better and better.
The recipes in this book have been chosen to showcase the range of flavours and aromas that I love the Everything I Love to Cook
