Description
By the award-winning English food writer of The Good Cook, a cookbook full of essays and recipes that offer a fresh, satisfying take on familiar favorites. In England, no food writer’s star shines brighter than Simon Hopkinson’s, whose breakthrough Roast Chicken and Other Stories was voted the most useful cookbook ever by a panel of chefs, food writers, and consumers. 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 to the experienced chef—prepare down-right delicious cuisine…and enjoy every minute of it! Irresistible recipes in this book include Eggs Florentine, Chocolate Tart, Poached Salmon with Beurre Blanc, and, of course, the book’s namesake recipe, Roast Chicken. Winner of both the 1994 Andre Simon and 1995 Glenfiddich awards (the gastronomic world’s equivalent to an Oscar), this acclaimed book will inspire anyone who enjoys sharing the ideas of a truly creative cook and delights in getting the best out of good ingredients. “The man is the best cook in Britain!” —Telegraph UK “Roast Chicken and Other Stories, packed with homely native dishes, was recently voted the country’s [UK’s] most useful cookbook of all time by a panel of 40 experts.” —R.W. Apple Jr., New York Times “The recipes and writing are pure genius, from start to finish. Roast Chicken and Other Stories belongs in every kitchen and on every bedside table.” —Nigella Lawson
