Cooking: Simply and Well, for One or Many

Product Information

A few rules, well, musings really, on the business of choosing, preparing and cooking beetroot. There are so many varieties of beetroot in gorgeous pinks, purples and a gold, a particular variety I love called Flaming Badger. The cook can indulge in all manner of variations with different varieties and colours. I like the small new season’s tender beetroots both steamed and baked in foil, or, if there is time to soak, in a diable. Steaming beetroot results in a delicately cooked vegetable, while roasting beetroot in foil or a diable results in a rich intensity. Ensuring the beetroots are of a similar size and shape and regardless of which method of cooking chosen, beetroots take roughly the same time to cook. Larger beetroots, later in the season, are best boiled until tender. It seems almost redundant to point it out, so obvious is it, but I’ll say it anyway: Cooking by Jeremy Lee is the cookbook of the year. If you know anyone at all who loves spending time in the kitchen, buy them this book.

This man is brilliant. Everyone needs to see this. Forget CONSPIRACY Theories……it’s Conspiracy Truth ! Jeremy Lee joined Sam & Eddie Hart at Quo Vadis in Soho in early 2012, becoming Chef Proprietor. Jeremy had previously manned the stoves of Blueprint Café on the first floor of the Design Museum, which Sir Terence Conran created on the south bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge.Cooking is one of those books that makes us love our work. From time to time, there is always a book that surprises us, which is precisely what happened with this book. Heat a griddle or frying pan over a high heat. Lay the spring onions on the hot pan to blister, turning after 3-4 minutes to blister the other side.

A glimpse at Lee’s bookshelves provided within the book give as good as clue as any to the kind of chef he is and the type of cooking that inspires him. While a few modern books can be seen – Nigella Lawson’s How to Eat​, Nuno Mendes’ Lisboeta​, and St John’s Complete Nose to Tail​ to name but three – his shelves sag under the weight of far older, well-thumbed books from the likes of Julia Child, Jane Grigson, Elizabeth David and Madhur Jaffrey. As he describes the recipes in Cooking​ himself, this is home cooking rediscovered after a lifetime spent in professional kitchens. It’s impossible to not get on with Jeremy Lee. Anyone who has seen him chatting to diners at the tables in Quo Vadis knows what a warm, friendly personality he has. But it’s once you’ve tasted his cooking that you know you’ll be returning to his restaurant very soon. SALSIFY APPEARS AS WINTER’S GRIP TIGHTENS. It’s a vegetable that has an elegant and delicate flavour at odds with its appearance – a dark, earthy root, long and slender, enclosed in a covering of bark echoing the barren, bleak silhouettes of trees in the thrall of winter. It looks as though it’d be more at home in an apothecary’s storeroom. But a scrape of the peeler reveals a surprising whiteness that will discolour swiftly after being pared. Plunge it into a bowl of water with a couple of slices of lemon to prevent that happening, but beware, too much lemon and the delicate, elusive flavour of salsify will disappear.

THIS BOLD, BRIGHT SALAD NEVER LOSES ITS APPEAL whenever it is made, which is often. Very good on its own, this salad also eats well with cured and smoked fish as well as with thinly sliced ham, or cold roast lamb, beef or pork. The dressing is simplicity itself to make, a salad cream if you will, and don’t be shy with grating horseradish over the beetroot, both delighting in each other’s exuberance. Jeremy’s recipes are notably user-friendly and clearly explained, rarely requiring a particular skill or tour de main, his principal interest is in perfecting the flavour of a dish. He is a contemporary chef in a line of influential cooks launched in 1952 by George Perry-Smith when he opened his restaurant The Hole in the Wall in Bath. Perry-Smith was self-taught and prepared recipes from books on domestic cooking and he held the view that restaurant cooking need not be complicated and aimed at Michelin recognition but should, above all, give pleasure and make full use of local ingredients. When Jeremy Lee received the very first copy of his new cookbook from his publishers, he immediately threw it in a drawer, then cycled from his home in east London to get on with his day at Soho’s Quo Vadis, where he is chef-patron. The book, Cooking: Simply And Well, For One or Many, was the result of many years of work, on and off, and he wasn’t quite ready to face its reality.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry large enough to line a 25cm x 2.5cm tart case with a removable bottom. Pop this into the fridge until required.

The recipes in Cooking are arranged by favorite ingredients and occasions and include an introduction emphasizing the importance of the quality and provenance of ingredients. From plum compote with ricotta and hazelnuts to perfect anchovy dressing, this stunning collection of recipes is a love song to simple dishes crafted with the finest ingredients. The company required for almond tart, mostly inspired by my dad, it must be said, is a jug of custard, warm or chilled, Jersey cream, whipped cream and ice cream. Jeremy was not alone, he says, in having no plan – “this was true for most of my generation of cooks” – but in that sea of uncertainty was a current of vision, who later became loosely termed the Modern British Cooks. “We liked pulling away the formality, the rationale being that we had such wonderful times at home, why couldn’t we do that in a restaurant?” He quotes Sir Terence Conran, his one-time boss (at the Blueprint Cafe in London’s Design Museum), who championed less the suits, twinsets and pearls and more “the jeans and the tiara” look. “The produce then started to ramp up as cooks grew more interested. We gave the Michelin stars a run for their money, and an enlightened group of restaurant reviewers – like Fay Maschler, Matthew Fort – helped it gain traction. It was brilliant reporting that made it into a cohesive whole.” For his spirit boundless spirit alone, Lee should be classified as a national treasure. Likewise, this book is one to treasure. a b "Meet the Inc. 5000 Companies: Winning in a Time of Change and Achieving Spectacular Growth". Inc.

I have often thought about a copper mould for making this lovely dish, as pleasing to look at as it is to eat. A wider, shallower cake shaped and cooked in a cast-iron skillet or frying pan is as delicious as those cooked in hatted moulds. The Cooking World is a team of professionals passionate about the world of food from diverse areas. A beautifully written instant classic that is every bit as exuberant and delicious as the man himself!’ Nigella Lawson One summer evening in the large echoing dining room of an Oxford college, Jeremy served his outstanding food to hundreds of attendees at the international Oxford Symposium on Food & Cookery launched by Theodore Zeldin and Alan Davidson a generation ago. Deafening applause greeted the entry of Jeremy’s team of young chefs each carrying a huge Steak and Kidney Pie topped with the traditional gleaming suet crust with a centre-piece of an empty oxtail bone acting as pie bird in the middle. The whole magnificent meal was a superb celebration of splendid English cooking.
