Books by Fergus Henderson

A collection of recipes, celebrating the thrifty rural British tradition of making a delicious virtue of using every part of the animal.

''An unutterable joy from the team behind one of the most influential and important restaurants in Britain ... This is much more than a book of recipes, though (glorious as they are). It’s also about the importance of the table, of feasting, of friendship, of the white cloth napkin on your knee. And it sings of simple but wonderful pleasures: a bacon sandwich and a glass of cider, a doughnut and a glass of champagne.’Diana Henry, The Telegraph''The Book of St. JOHN, part food gospel, part memoir, part recipe book.''
