After 45 years working in professional kitchens around the world, I’ve finally put pen to paper to share the recipes that have truly stood the test of time — the ones I’ve cooked, refined, and loved throughout my career.
My 100 Favourite Recipes is a hand-in-hand journey through the dishes that shaped my life as a chef — from comforting home classics to international flavours that bring a touch of adventure to your kitchen.
Inside, you’ll find starters, snacks, hearty mains, vegetarian favourites, seafood specials, and indulgent desserts, all crafted with the care and confidence that only decades in the kitchen can bring. These are the recipes that never fail — the ones I come back to time and again.
From a silky Chicken Liver Pâté to a rich Beef Wellington, a fragrant Kashmiri Rogan Josh to a sweet and sticky Toffee Pudding, every dish has been tried, tested, and perfected — written clearly for home cooks who love real food, done properly.
Whether you’re a beginner looking to build your skills or a seasoned cook searching for inspiration, this book is designed to bring joy, flavour, and confidence back to your kitchen.
So, roll up your sleeves and join me on this culinary journey —
100 recipes, 45 years of experience, and a lifetime of flavour.
