This is home cooking at its best – Fish Pie, Shoulder of Lamb with Pommes Boulanger, Noodle Soup, Treacle Tart – all shamelessly indulgent, but straightforward to prepare and affordable.                     Tireless in pursuit of a good dinner, Tom Parker Bowles has eaten some of the best food in the world – and then recreated his favourite dishes in his own kitchen, with the recipes jotted down in a food-splattered notebook. Some of the recipes in this book are inspired by food cooked for him by friends and family, some by more formal dinners, some by his travels. But all have been recreated by Tom to make them easy for the home cook to prepare.             A chapter on Comfort Food is packed with family favourites such as My Mum’s Roast Chicken, Fish Goujons with Pea Purée and Sticky Toffee Pudding. Quick Fixes features Hot Buttered Crab and Provencal Bean Salad, and in Slow and Low Tom cooks up his famous 10-Alarm Chilli and Slow-Cooked Ragu. Dishes inspired by his travels, such as Ceviche or Laotian Chicken Salad, also feature, alongside a chapter on Cooking for Children, with crowd-pleasers like Fish Pie Jnr and Spaghetti Bollynaise.             Tom has cooked every recipe in his home kitchen again and again before including it in this book. He also explores the basic ingredients that are essential to a good dinner, such as fats and stocks, offering suggestions on how to prepare and cook with them. Let’s Eat is an irresistible hotchpotch of delicious recipes; a trusty cookbook written in Tom’s distinctive voice means it’s a book that you’ll want to read from cover to cover.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56222040260981,"sku":"9780008743703","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780008743703_bb7fade1-8745-47d8-b487-a08a95fc1777.jpg?v=1786011117"},{"product_id":"9780008305017","title":"Fortnum \u0026 Mason","description":"Capturing the magic and finest festive traditions of Fortnum \u0026amp; Mason, Christmas and Other Winter Feasts gathers together everything you need to enjoy a truly delicious winter.A joyous celebration of Fortnum \u0026amp; Mason’s love for extraordinary seasonal food, Christmas and Other Winter Feasts is filled with flavoursome recipes for Christmas and New Year’s Eve, as well as Guy Fawkes and Burns’ Night.From seasonable soups to hearty January eating, and featuring exclusive stories from the Fortnum \u0026amp; Mason archives, Christmas and Other Winter Feasts is the essential accompaniment to any party, gathering or feast.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311506338165,"sku":"9780008305017","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780008305017_d9084232-018d-43ad-9f7f-029cc18752ec.jpg?v=1786033133"},{"product_id":"9780008744724","title":"Let’s Eat Meat","description":"\u003cp\u003eEat meat, but eat less and eat better — that, if any, is this book’s philosophy. That's not to say we shouldn’t enjoy eating great hunks of beef, perfectly charred steaks, or golden deep-fried chicken.

In the Less Meat chapter, meat shares the limelight with other ingredients — think an Iberian bean stew with a few frazzled chunks of chorizo for flavour. In Meat as Seasoning, scraps of beef, lamb, pork and chicken give depth and savoury goodness to a range of dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet's Eat Meat embodies Tom’s approach to meat-eating, which is buy the best you can, and use every last scrap to eke out the flavour.
