A delicious new cookery book from one of our finest food writers with gloriously pretty colour illustrations by Flo Bayley..Simon Hopkinson's first book, Roast Chicken and Other Stories, was both hugely successful and highly acclaimed, winning both the Andre Simon and the Glenfiddich Awards. In Roast Chicken, he returns to that winning formula of chapters based round key ingredients and gives recipes for utterly delicious dishes using them. So, we have a chapter on apples with a perfect applie pie, a chapter on curry with Constance Spry's original Coronation chicken and a chapter on duck with Braised duck with olives and classic Roast duck and apple sauce. Here, too, you will find Pear and ginger sponge, 'a good' Waldorf salad, 'a nice' Chicken casserole, Armenian lamb pilaff, Linguine with browned garlic, chillies and pine kernels, Grilled whole plaice with lemon butter sauce and what is, quite simply, the best Bloody Mary. Roast Chicken is quintessential Simon Hopkinson; practical recipes for food you want to eat, whether it's a quick everyday supper dish or something for a more leisurely weekend meal.
Simon Hopkinson was born in 1954 and grew up in Bury, Lancashire, where his love of good eating was established at the kitchen table. He left school at seventeen to work in the kitchen of Yves Champeau, the acclaimed chef-patron of the Normandie in Birtle where the flavours of regional French cooking made a lasting impression on him. He set up on his own at the Shed in Dinas near Fishguard at the age of twenty-one and in 1978 became the youngest chef to win an Egon Ronay star. In 1983 he launched himself on the London restaurant scene as chef at the newly opened Hilaire on the Old Brompton Road and swiftly found himself one of the most acclaimed young chefs in the business. His friendship with one particularly good customer, Terence Conran, finally led to the opening of Bibendum in 1987 where he worked as chef until 1995 when he retired to concentrate more on his writing. Simon is one of our most highly regarded food writers and his legendary column in the Independing won the Glenfiddich Award for Cookery Writing no less than three times. His books include Roast Chicken and Other Stories, which won both the Andre Simon and Glenfiddich Awards for 1995 and was voted the most useful cookery book of all time in a survey of food writers, chefs and restaurateurs, Gammon and Spinach and Roast Chicken and Other Stories: Second Helpings.
