Review
'It really is a life's work, a mixture of autobiography and a great reflection of the very best that Yorkshire has to offer the world of gastronomy' --Michel Roux
'This is a must-have coffee table book which not only looks good with the chocolate brown suede cover, is also great to cook from. Andrew Pern is one of Britain's leading chefs. He has held a Michelin Star for the past 7 years at The Star Inn in North Yorkshire. Not all great chefs can also write, but this one can! The book reads like a conversation curled up by the log fire; full of warmth, humour and humility and inspirational recipes. Like his cooking, the book is set to be a classic in its own right and one to enjoy for a long time to come' --Elaine M Lemm, Member of the Guild of Food Writers & food writer for the New York Times
'The luxurious suede cover with embossed text gives way to matt pages and a series of stunning photographs both in black and white and colour by award winning photographers Antonio Olmos and Sam Bailey. There is nothing glossy about this book, it is just a rich reflection on the life and food of one of Britain's best known chefs' --Masterchefs Magazine

Andrew Pern has created a masterpiece. He explains about his life growing up on a farm, his travels, and how he became interested in a taste for "strong" food.
Gorgeous photos of the author and his family grace throughout this book. Delicious and unique recipes are here for your testing. My favorite recipe is called "Whisky in a Jar." If you make this for your company and hand them the jar, they will see it is filled with smoke. After curiosity gets the best of them, when the person opens the jar the aroma of "flavoured smoke" fills the air. Luscious food awaits your taste buds. This is just a sampling of the brilliant recipes for your taking.
I have never seen a cookbook that shares the life of the chef with his own restaurant along with recipes. I highly recommend this book for you or for a gift. Even if you do not like cooking this book is an enjoyable read.

This is no regular cookbook. Sluffing off the shackles of the publishing world, Pern has created a book that is ripe with graphic ingenuity, poetic wanderings and even a cover coated in brown velvet. You want to curl up on a damp English night next to the fireplace, glugging your dark ale, reading this wonderful ode to food romantics. Pern shares the story of how he came to own The Star Inn. He writes about all of the local suppliers of his ingredients and how seasons effect his dishes. And naturally he delves into a hearty list of recipes, the vast majority of which you won't ever make because of his use of regional ingredients. I've played with a few of the recipes, but what's the point when you can't get the great seafood that he has access to. But that's hardly a concern for me. This is still my favorite cookbook. Every time I touch it, my foodie loin tingles and titters as I find some new hidden gem - normally a quote, a short poem or beautiful picture of the English countryside. For cookbook collectors, this is a must. For passionate foodies and romantics, this is a must. For someone wanting to recreate a Michelin starred-restaurant's dishes...don't bother.

WOW!!!!!
Im a collector of many cookbooks, but Black pudding and Foie gras, (not only for being some of my favorite foods) is a book that will set your heart racing from the moment you pick it up.
The book entails a great story, stunning photography, oh and most importantly some mouthwatering dishes, with ingredients that have been sourced, not only from local suppliers, but they all seem part of one very happy family, and very detailed a throughly well written book.
Not one for the shelf, it deserves pride of place in anyones kitchen, or even as a coffee table show stopper, and just have a feel of the cover, grrrrrr.
