294. Simon Hopkinson - Roast Chicken And Other Stories

I read this probably in reaction to Rick Stein's book (no.292).

Hopkinson is a cook rather than a restauranteur (he may be that as well) and this is really a book about food and cooking it. I assume from the numbers of French sounding and rich sauces that he is a classically trained chef, and apart from the need to re-stock the kitchen for ingredients, I did feel that maybe we should try again with a food blender – I think we have probably bought and given away after failing with two if not three.

I enjoyed the writing about the food – I skipped through a lot of the recipes.
