The Divertimenti Kitchenware Shop was opened in Brompton Road in 1965 by Camilla's parents, bringing to post-war London quality cooking utensils and beautiful tableware. In 2001, at the newly opened Marylbone High Street branch, Camilla started cookery classes, gaining an understanding of what people want to cook, what dishes and procedures intimidate them and where confusion sets in when cooking dishes for the first time.
In this book she shares her knowledge, giving tips and shortcuts as well as a repertoire of dishes that are simple and stunning. She introduces unusual ingredients, answers most often asked questions, and gives advice on equipment.
Many of the dishes can be prepared or even cooked well in advance -- such as chicken roasted in white wine, garlic and herbs, Persian chicken with pomegranates and walnuts, Red Duck Curry and her dad's famous steak and chips.
