Synopsis

The Ivy reveals the secrets of its kitchen - many of them delightfully simple - for the first time. Known as a theatrical, literary and artistic haunt, in recent times, the restaurant has reached new heights of culinary excellence, while keeping its roots in simple, quick and accessible food, including their justly famous salmon fishcakes. A.A. Gill has combined the recipes with the history and atmosphere of the restaurant which, together with the superb photography in colour and black and white, has made for a beautiful book that will appeal to the cook and non-cook alike.

About this title

Review:

What a pleasure to welcome an original book that goes behind the scenes more than most. A small masterpiece (Harpers & Queen)

A handsome book, attractive, simple and understated, a bit like the Ivy itself. The photography is nothing less than excellent. The recipes are clear and easy to follow (Observer)

If you want a fascinating read, delicious colour photos, some damn fine recipes and a romp through a typical day backstage at the Ivy, check this book out (Elle Decoration)

A serious, brilliant analysis of the gristle, grind and the glamour of contemporary London restaurantation (Evening Standard)

Book Description:
