The food you put on your table is at the heart of the house, as a matter of survival & joy. Everything we eat sustains family, friends & self, & The Good Table shows that it is best when sourced & cooked with love & care. Whether making comforting favourites such as Toad in the Hole or Paella, classic dishes such as Beef Suet Pudding or a Brandy Snap with Berries, or recipes from far-flung shores such as Lapland Fish Soup & a Spanish dish of Chorizo in Cider, Valentine's omnivorous curiosity & attention to detail set his recipes apart. In this timely book, Valentine pays homage to the slow cooking of cheaper cuts of beef, pork & lamb, whilst encouraging us to enjoy less widely-used meat such as rabbit & venison.

For Valentine, The Good Table starts with good shopping, & he encourages us to not be afraid of buying new ingredients, especially when they are affordable & plentiful. He seeks out sustainable fish, creates luxuries from everyday ingredients such as bread & eggs, & cooks fruit & vegetables when they are in season. ...
