Cooking : Simply and Well, for One or Many

This book is all at once generous, joyful and deeply practical. Cooking is a love letter to good food made from great ingredients. Acclaimed British chef Jeremy Lee shares a lifetime of knowledge, from the simple magic of breadcrumbs and wild garlic purée to impromptu puddings like peaches in wine or plum compote with ricotta and hazelnuts. Alongside witty reflections and indispensable advice are deliciously reimagined classics – pommes Anna, chocolate St Emilion – and hearty dishes perfect for sharing, such as marinated chicken with roast pumpkin salad.

Brilliantly illustrated by John Broadley and photographed by Elena Heatherwick, Cooking is a richly personal and utterly distinctive cookbook from one of Britain’s most beloved chefs. A modern classic in the making.
