About this title

Synopsis

Chef John Torode oversees 100 chefs serving as many as 2000 people a day in the "Mezzo" restaurant in London's Soho. The freestyle approach to the global kitchen sees the combination of ingredients, flavours and cooking styles from Asia and Europe. With particular emphasis on modern trends in cooking, this book includes over 100 recipes such as Wok Fried Crab with Garlic and Chilli, Roast Marinated Lamb with Sweet Potato Mash, Aubergine Ravioli with Black Butter and Capers, and Lemon Mascarpone Cake. A glossary helps to demystify shopping for and preparing some of the more unusual ingredients, from tamarind to lemon grass.

About the Author

Terence Conran is one of the world's best-known designers, restaurateurs and retailers. In the 1960s he founded Habitat - the chain of homeware stores that brought good, modern design within reach of the general population for the very first time.

Over the subsequent 50 years Terence built another group of companies centred around design, retailing, restaurants and hotels. Today, Conran owns restaurants and shops in eight cities throughout the world and a design business serving many international clients that includes architecture and interior design, product and graphic design and brand licensing.

In January 2011 Conran began working with Marks & Spencer in the UK, designing an exclusive range of homewares for the store. In 2012 Conran signed a deal to collaborate with US retail giant jcpenney to design an exclusive range of furniture, lighting and accessories for the home. The initial collection launched in spring 2013 into 300 jcpenney stores throughout the US and there will be new ranges launching each spring and autumn.

Terence was knighted for his services to design in 1983 and has been provost of the Royal College of Art in London. In 1982 he opened the very first museum in the world dedicated to design, which is now the celebrated Design Museum in London, due to move to new premises in 2015 thanks to a massive expansion programme.
