Complete Nose to Tail

It would be disingenuous to the animal not to make the most of the whole beast, there is a set of delights, textural and flavoursome, which lie beyond the fillet. Thus Fergus Henderson set out his stall when he opened St. John in 1995, now one of the worlds most admired restaurants. His Whole Beast and Beyond Nose to Tail books are full of exhilarating recipes for dishes that combine high sophistication with peasant thriftiness. Now the books are to be joined together in a compendious volume, The Complete Nose to Tail, with additional new recipes and more brilliant photography from Jason Lowe.

Adventurous palates as well as some of the most famous names in the food world?including Mario Batali, Anthony Bourdain, Jamie Oliver, and Daniel Boulud?flock to Fergus Henderson's London restaurant, St. John, to indulge in his culinary artistry. A conscientious and resourceful chef who lives by the motto ?Nose to Tail,?
