Product Description
Product Description
Brian Turner was born and brought up in Yorkshire, his culinary background shaped by his experience of eating and learning to cook "good English food" - steak pudding, fish and chips, pork pies and trifle were all family favourites when he was a lad. Now one of the country's top chefs and restaurateurs, and chairman of the Academy of Culinary Arts, he has never lost sight of the Great British traditions that formed the foundation stone of his career. With his typical brand of banter and good humour, he leads us through his collection of classic recipes, from mulligatawny soup and Welsh rarebit to shepherd's pie and spotted dick - everything from comfort food to sophisticated dishes for modern entertaining.
About the Author
After finishing catering college in Leeds, Brian Turner moved to London where he honed his culinary skills at several of the capital's top hotels and restaurants, starting with Simpson's in the Strand. He worked for the Capital Hotel for 15 years before opening his own restaurant, Turner's, in 1986. He is also a regular on television programmes such as Ready Steady Cook and Food and Drink. Spring 2003 saw the launch of his new London restaurant, 'Brian Turner Mayfair', which champions British food.

Fortunately this book gives me all that it says on the cover which is very good. Other books on Amazon do not give details like how many recipes and whether pictures or not.
Format:Hardcover
Great cookbook, everything is well worded with simple but precise instructions. All recipes are cost effective, simple, yet well planned. A great book to buy for people starting out cooking and for those who are experienced cooks.

Best cookbook I've found since leaving England
28 Aug 2005
Format:Hardcover
Since leaving my home in England & moving to the USA 18 years ago, I've had problems finding typical English recipes, but thanks to Brian Turner's book, I have re-discovered all of my old favourites & more!
This is the only cookbook you will ever need, it covers everything.
