At last, American cooks can enjoy endearing stories from the highly acclaimed food writer and his simple yet elegant recipes.

In this richly satisfying culinary narrative, Hopkinson shares his unique philosophy on the limitless possibilities of cooking. With its friendly tone backed by the author's impeccable expertise, this cookbook can help anyone--from the novice cook to the experienced chef--prepare delicious cuisine . . . and enjoy every minute of it!

Quatrième de couverture

Simon Hopkinson is not just one of Britain's top chefs, he is also a superb natural cook. Roast Chicken and Other Stories takes Simon's favourite ingredients as its starting point - forty of them, from anchovy and asparagus through lamb and leeks to tripe and veal. Many of the recipes are drawn from classic French and British cooking, but ideas from elsewhere (notably South East Asia, the United States, Spain, Italy and Australia) are also incorporated. With recipes such as Grilled Aubergine with Pesto or Sesame, Poached Cod and, of course, Roast Chicken, his food is always honest and inviting, designed to please rather than simply impress.

Winner of both the1994 André Simon and 1995 Glenfiddich awards, this acclaimed book will inspire anyone who delights in getting the nest out of good ingredients and who enjoys sharing the ideas of a truly creative cook.
