Today I bought THE COMPLETE NOSE TO TAIL EATING; A BRITISH KIND OF COOKING by Fergus Henderson and Justin Piers Gellatly, photography by Jason Lowe. It's a really beautifully designed book, love the beautiful photography, love the writing. I just love it! This is not a totally new book as such but a compendium of his previous books. It's been updated with some new pictures, a couple of recipes have been tweaked and more recipes have been added. The original first edition of his book Nose To Tail Eating is a collector's item and is considered a cult masterpiece. I've been reading wonderful reviews about Fergus Henderson's ST JOHN restaurants for so many years now. His food is legendary popping up in publications and blogs regularly. While I was searching for info on the book I came across some really great photography at THE BLUE HOUR*, the blog of photographer BRIAN W FERRY*, who cannot get enough of the wonderful ST JOHN food. The lovely dinner above, photographed in their home in Covent Garden, is from bon appétit* and includes the recipes. Also a wonderful article in the AUSTRALIAN GOURMET TRAVELLER March 2013* by Fergus Henderson on Italian food.

" Do you recall eating Sultana Bran for breakfast? The sultana to bran-flake ratio was always a huge anxiety, to a point, sometimes, that one was tempted to add extra sultanas, which inevitably resulted in too many sultanas, and one lost that pleasure of discovering the occasional sweet chewiness in contrast to the branny crunch. With administering such things as capers, it is very good to remember Sultana Bran."
