Book description
With A Taste of Home, Angela Hartnett brings her informal,
grounded style of cooking into our kitchens. Drawing inspiration from
her childhood experiences of accessible home cooking with her Italian
grandmother, she mixes Mediterranean influences with European to
create delectable recipes that are straightforward, quick and easy to make.
Whether you want to cook a simple lunch or an after-work supper,
Angela has a mouthwatering recipe to satisfy your needs. If you just
want a snack or starter you can try a Lamb Broth with Mint, or Goat's
Curd and Lentil Salad. For main meals there are fresh twists on
classic home dishes, such as Beef Stew with Butternut Squash and Red
Onions, as well as more unusual dishes like as Quail Salad with
Harissa Dressing - and some traditional Italian recipes including
Sausage Rigatoni and Fennel. Those with a sweet tooth can indulge in
Ginger and Passion Fruit Trifle or Chocolate Pecan Tart.
With mouthwatering photography by Jonathan Lovekin, this is, simply
put, an indispensable addition to any home cooking enthusiast's shelves.
Angela Hartnett's rise from her early days training at Gordon
Ramsay's restaurants Fleur, Petrus and Amaryllis, has been justly swift
and dazzling. She now owns Murano restaurant in London and was awarded
an MBE for Services to the Hospitality Industry in 2007. In Autumn 2010
she was appointed judge of the BBC Food and Farming Awards.
