Fish is fantastic food. For taste and for health it' pretty much unbeatable. But we can't just take it for granted. It's a precious resource that needs to be consumed thoughtfully. We reckon it helps to know as much as possible about a fish before you buy it - that it's been caught sustainably and handled with respect. If it has, and you do your very best for it in the kitchen, then to sit down and eat that fish will always be a tremendous pleasure.'

How often have you wished there was a magic formula to simplify cooking? Well, there is. Put three good things together on a plate and, somehow, the whole is always greater and more delicious than the sum of its parts. Looking back over nearly two decades of professional cookery, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has worked out the combinations that make magic. Salty, sweet, crunchy. Sharp, rich, crumbly. Hot, bland, crisp. Think scones with jam and cream, fish and chips with mushy peas, or porridge with golden syrup and cream.
Hugh has used the formula of three to create more than 175 recipes, both well-loved classics and brand new ideas, based on trios like squash, ricotta and ham; aubergine, tomatoes and chickpeas; clams, tomatoes and garlic; chicken, tomatoes and tarragon; pork, potatoes and apples; pasta, courgettes and mozzarella; strawberries, cream and shortbread; and chocolate, ginger and digestives, the list goes on & on.
