Let's Eat: Recipes from my kitchen notebook

Product Information

This is home cooking at its best – Fish Pie, Shoulder of Lamb with Pommes Boulanger, Noodle Soup, Treacle Tart – all shamelessly indulgent, but straightforward to prepare and affordable. I laughed out loud at Tom's description of a 'British' bolognese, smiled when reading about the movie magic of meatballs, and shook my head when I heard about his week of living on eggs for the Mail on Sunday paper. As you can see, two people eating at home don't care if puff pastry isn't rolled out nice and pretty.

The photography illustrates this book beautifully, so I must be careful not to add greasy marks to the recipe pages! Tireless in pursuit of a good dinner, Tom Parker Bowles has eaten some of the best food in the world – and then recreated his favourite dishes in his own kitchen. I think, often, good solid recipes that ACTUALLY WORK get lost in the fashion and fluffery of food writing. I can jabber for England and can be lured anywhere with something pink and sparkly or anything that smells nice.

You'll find related discussions on Chowhound - even those on the upper East side of Manhattan can't find it. However, if cooking is new to you, you'll find lots of basic recipes for things like roast chicken and cauliflower cheese. Despite the fact that I don't eat meat (and Tom has some amazing meat based dishes here - from grouse to oxtail) I found plenty that I intend to try out for myself: 'Lemon Risotto', 'Hot Buttered Crab', 'Trifle', 'Shrimp Broth' etc.

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. So, a fantastic, humorous recipe book full of tried and tested (by Tom) favourites from almost every continent on earth. The recommendation to serve it over brown rice was dead on - adds a lovely nuttiness in contrast to the spicy harissa and chilis. tom has cooked every recipe in his home kitchen again and again before including it in this notebook.

Tom’s strange ideas concerning saturated fat – it would have been nice to see more ‘low fat’ workarounds in some of these recipes. Despite the fact that I don’t eat meat (and Tom has some amazing meat based dishes here – from grouse to oxtail) I found plenty that I intend to try out for myself: ‘Lemon Risotto’, ‘Hot Buttered Crab’, ‘Trifle’, ‘Shrimp Broth’ etc.
