Seventy recipes and plenty of advice make up this lavish celebration
of the most talked about restaurant in Britain--the Hawksmoor
restaurants, focusing on all things beef
Providing unique insight into the enthusiasm and passion that go into
creating great food and drink, this practical cookbook describes how to
buy and cook great steak and seafood and much more, including how to
make the "best burger in Britain" and the "best roast beef in Britain;"
how to mix terrific cocktails; and how to choose wine to accompany a
meal. When the proprietors of Hawksmoor started out they had a simple
plan--to open the best steak restaurant in London. They traveled the
world searching for the perfect steak, but discovered that beef from
traditional breeds, reared the old-fashioned way in Britain, and cooked
simply over real charcoal, packed more flavor than anything they tried
in their travels. Their credo is simple: the best
ingredients--dictionary-thick steaks from Longhorn cattle traditionally
reared in North Yorkshire by the multiple award-winningThe Ginger Pig,
dry-aged for at least 35 days, simply cooked on a real charcoal grill.
Their cocktails, wines, and desserts too have been applauded. This
sumptuous book, designed by David Eldridge (Ottolenghi's Plenty) is an
extended love letter to beef and all the numerous other things that make
Hawksmoor the well-loved restaurant that it is.
