Rowley Leigh is chef of one of London's most successful and popular restaurants, Kensington Place, and a main trailblazer in modern British cooking.
This book celebrates home cooking for its simplicity, seasonality and the delights of eating at home and cooking for friends. It encompasses the art of making good gravy, sauteeing potatoes and grilling sea bass, as well as digressions into Euro food, Australian cricket and the strangeness of rhubarb, amongst others.
Menus are based on events such as Boxing Day Lunch, Halloween Night and a May birthday lunch for a fishetarian aunt. Beautifully illustrated, this is an elegant, witty and irresistible invitation to keep those home fires burning.
