In the tradition of Jane Grigson and Elizabeth David, Stephanie Alexander has written a comprehensive book that will be your new best friend in the kitchen. Stephanie has assembled information, stories and recipes on over 100 fresh ingredients -all written in her wonderful style, and arranged in alphabetical order. At last here is a classic book for the kitchen. "Of all the encyclopaedic cookbooks, this is the most consistently inspiring and useful." Lloyd Grossman "You get a lot just by looking at the page. There is a lovely system of listing ideas down the margins." Sybil Kapoor

Review

Anyone who cooks - or eats - needs this book in their home. --Nigella Lawson

Of all the many cookery books that exist, there are only really a handful which are truly a must-have - The Cook's Companion is one of them. --Jamie Oliver

It is a rare fit that all cookery writers strive to achieve: writing the definitive book on a single subject. Stephanie Alexander did the impossible and wrote the definitive book on all subjects. --Yotam Ottolenghi
