Let's Eat: Recipes from My Kitchen Notebook

<p>The first cookbook from English foodie and author of <i>The Year Of Eating Dangerously-</i>comfort food from the country that invented it</p><p>Award-winning food writer Tom Parker Bowles is one of the world's most enthusiastic eaters. He's as over the moon for simple food-a perfectly melting bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, or a rich tomato soup-as he is for the exotic, the fiery hot, and the elegant. Like many everyday gourmands, he never wastes a meal. The dinners he puts together for his young family at home are as carefully thought-out and executed as anything he makes for company. His easy culinary style and winning writing will delight fans of his fellow Englishman Simon Hopkinson's <i>Roast Chicken and Other</i> <i>Stories</i>. The 140 recipes in <i>Let's Eat</i> are divided into extremely useful chapters, such as &quot;Comfort Food&quot;, &quot;Quick Fixes,&quot; and &quot;Slow &amp; Low&quot; and include:<br>- scrambled eggs<br>- roast lamb<br>- his Mum's heavenly roast chicken<br>- Asian noodle soup<br>- meatballs<br>- sticky toffee pudding</p><p>Rounded out with a weekday cook's shortcuts and basics, such as how to make stock and how to transform leftovers into entirely new meals, <i>Let's Eat</i> is one of the best curl-up-and-read-it-tonight cookbooks of the season.</p>
