Now a Major Motion Picture starring Ewan Mc Gregor & Emily Blunt Winner of the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction 2007. Shortlisted for the British Book Awards, Newcomer of the Year, 2008. A Richard & Judy Summer Read Selection. Written as a "report into the circumstances surrounding the decision to introduce salmon into the Yemen", this is a novel that is made up of e-mails, letters, diary extracts, records of the prime minister's Question Time, interviews, & chapters from the memoirs of a fantastically weaselly Peter Mandelson-type figure. The " Yes Minister" comparisons are justified (and there is some brilliant, hilarious political & bureaucratic satire here), but at its heart, this is the story of a hen-pecked, slightly pompous, middle-aged scientist who finds himself caught up in what seems like an impossible project, & of how this project changes his life. In the process, he becomes an unlikely & rather loveable hero, discovers true love for himself, finds himself both a pawn & then a victim of political spin, leaves his brilliantly horrible wife, & learns to believe in the impossible. & he takes the listener with him in the process. Abridged edition with a full cast including John Sessions, Samantha Bond, Andrew Sachs, Andrew Marr & many more.5 ...

Product Description

Food needs salt. 

‘ The quantity is a matter of personal taste, but some presence is essential & little is more disappointing from the eating perspective than a plate of food that looks fabulous & tastes of very little. It shows the cook's priorities are all wrong, that too much television cookery has been watched & not enough tasting & enjoyment indulged in.'

So says Shaun Hill, who in this engaging exploration of his 50 years as a chef, brings his wealth of experience to the table, sharing what he has learnt so that the home cook can create truly remarkable dishes. 

Never one to shy away from controversy, he covers everything from why local & seasonal are not necessarily indicators of quality, to why soybeans are best left for cattle feed & Budapest is a paradise for the greedy. 

Although his commentary is undeniably witty, Shaun’s knowledge & expert guidance make this book an invaluable tome for anyone who takes their food (but not themselves) seriously.
