There are some books we publish which from the outset you know are going to be special. This was true of the first book from Philip Howard: a collection of recipes from his restaurant The Square. We knew we wouldn't be able do the recipes justice in one volume so it became two
- a first volume The Square: The Cookbook Volume 1: Savoury followed by The Square: The Cookbook Volume 2: Sweet (due in June 2013). We knew we couldn't limit it to the conventional two pages per recipe & food photo so they each became either 4 or 6 pages. We knew we couldn't illustrate anything less than every one of those recipes so one of the world's finest food photographers Jean Cazals did just that. & yet these measures which bring this colossal first volume of Philip Howard's recipes in at 528 pages are only a small part of why this book is so special. It is special because it represents a collection of recipes from 21 years of one of the country's finest & most consistently fine restaurants. Special because the chef who has been at the helm of that restaurant for all of those years is recognised as one of the very best of his generation. But most of all it is special because that chef has that rare ability to translate a genius in the restaurant kitchen into the words of a book. This was evident from the day we received the first written recipe & with it Phil's fiercely intelligent vision for how the book
- & every recipe within it
- should be structured. It is also manifest in the dozen or so essays that weave throughout that show a profound consideration & passion for every aspect of his craft & industry. The Square: The Cookbook Volume 1: Savoury is a landmark publication & a must-have book for every chef & for every serious foodie without question. Yet it will not also fail to impress & inspire anyone with a desire for cooking & a thirst for food knowledge. It will be recognised as nothing less than an incredible achievement & a book of truly unbounded culinary ambition.

So here we present Sir Alex Ferguson: uncompromising unrivalled & uncut. On Arsene Wenger: ' They say he's an intelligent man right? Speaks five languages! I've got a fifteen-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast who speaks five languages.' On Dennis Wise: ' He could start a row in an empty house.' On referees: ' Can anyone tell me why they give referees a watch? It's certainly not for keeping the time.' On his humble beginnings: ' People say mine was a poor upbringing. I don't know what they mean. It was tough but it wasn't bloody poor. We maybe didn't have a TV. We didn't have a car. We didn't even have a phone. But I thought I had everything & I did: I had a football.' After the winning the European Cup in 1999: 'I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football eh? Bloody hell.'
