Nights Out At Home: Recipes and Stories from 25 years as a Restaurant Critic: Signed Edition (Hardback)

For twenty-five years, award-winning restaurant critic Jay Rayner has been uncovering the very best of the nation's eateries - from high end restaurants to high street grills. Now, in a love letter to his favourite culinary institutions, he recreates the dishes that have stolen his heart over the decades - and helps home chefs do the same.

From a cheat's version of the original Ivy's famed crispy duck salad to a DIY Greggs Steak Bake; from New York delis to Whitechapel curry houses, Nights Out at Home tells the stories of the places and the meals that have shaped Jay's career. With the blessing - and often the help - of the chefs themselves, he unpicks the tastes and techniques behind the recipes, for us to conjure up at home.

Funny, moving and deliciously engaging, Nights Out at Home is a celebration of good food and fantastic writing, which belongs on the bedside table as much as the kitchen table.
