A Long and Messy Business
'I get fed up with the number of cookbooks that promise quick and easy meals, those that promise a three-course dinner that can be knocked up in thirty minutes. Most cooking, and certainly most enjoyable cooking, takes a little longer. I can knock something up in a hurry if I have to – there are plenty of quick and easy recipes in this book – but that ability was a long time in the acquisition, and I still prefer to take my time, in order to do it better than I did it last time.' These recipes and essays, first published in the Financial Times, are a distillation of Rowley Leigh’s forty years as both a professional chef and a home cook. They detail with precision and wit how to cook and enjoy both unusual and familiar ingredients through the seasons. With Leigh’s succinct wine recommendations and over 120 recipes, this is a book to get messy with overuse in the kitchen and to pore over in an armchair with a glass of the author’s beloved Riesling close to hand.
No Place Like Home
This is a collection of recipes for meals which by their very nature are better at home than in a restaurant. All the recipes are simple but as Rowley Leigh argues, as well as being better, simple things can be more difficult to do well.
No Place Like Home
It was called the London Season, and for three centuries it had been a time of fashionable suppers and brilliant balls that introduced England's most aristocratic and eligible girls to society. Though by 1939 the stately gavottes and minuets had long since given way to waltzes and fox-trots, the cream of young womanhood still curtsied low before the Queen and then went out to dance the night away with the young men they would one day marry. But the Season of 1939 was different: it was to be the last. And like many a finale, it lives on in memory as a lovely, enchanted dream, all the more beautiful for the horror and destruction that would follow so soon. Based on a wealth of first-hand reminiscences, press clippings, and memorabilia, "1939: The Last Season of Peace" is a fascinating portrait of this fairy tale about to end. Itcaptures the end of an era as it recreates a world whose inhabitants still believed in empire and tradition. It is a vivid picture of a generation suspended in a brief moment of sunlit summer glory, before the gathering storm of World War II swept it all away.
Gammon and Spinach
This is an essential book for people who love cooking and want to sample Hopkinson's innovative recipes which reinvent the often forgotten classics of British cuisine. Recipes such as Roast Goose Stuffed with Mashed Potato, Beetroot Puree with Horseradish and, of course, Gammon and Spinach introduce regional specialities, old favourites and essentials of continental bourgeois cooking with a good smattering of Mediterranean and Eastern flavours. The recipes are easy and accessible and introduced in an engagingly personal style. 'Gammon and Spinach is a book from which I want to eat almost every recipe ... here we have Hopkinson at his award-winning, wide-ranging best.' Clarissa Dickson-Wright, Night & Day 'Each paragraph reveals some little insight, some chef's truc, that is new to me' Rowley Leigh, Sunday Telegraph 'Fully of homely food of the kind everybody now wants to eat and cook' You Magazine
