Love Good Food

We watch cooks on TV – whether it’s amateur cooks on Masterchef or Michelin-starred chefs on Saturday Kitchen – creating beautiful, modern recipes; but these dishes often seem rather time-consuming and difficult to follow. For this beautiful new book Sophie Michell, who has worked as a chef to numerous celebrities and is well known from her TV appearances, has created recipes that look and taste just as wonderful as these but are all very do-able. Whether you’re already an experienced cook or someone with very little experience in the kitchen, you’ll find these contemporary dishes irrestistible.

The recipes are divided into chapters for light meals, main meals, desserts and baked treats. Encompassing dishes that are visually stunning (including gorgeous microherbs, shoots and edible flowers), international, full of different flavours and aromas, healthy, and based on great ingredients, Sophie shows you how to achieve memorable meals without spending hours in the kitchen. Here are recipes that excite and mesmerise; with flavours that jump out. Earthy, spicy, sour, sweet, deep, fiery, aromatic, fresh, zing, comforting, refreshing and delicate flavours, in modern, innovative and utterly delicious recipes. Discover how to cook like a trained chef – and try recipes such as Miso-Glazed Pork Belly, Micro-Herb & Parmesan Ravioli and Tomato & Geranium Jellies – to wow your friends, your partner and yourself!
