Allegra McEvedy is Head Chef at the Good Cook restaurant in Notting Hill's Tabernacle. 'The Good Cook' introduces the distinctive brand of cooking - bursting with flavour, determinedly unpretentious, and embracing many cultures - that has gained her international recognition.
This book opens up the possibilities hidden within "everyday" food, and deconstructs the myths that surround the culinary "classics". It is at once a collection of mouth-watering recipes, a eulogy to local and organic food and an insight into a dynamic and irresistible personality.
