About this ebook

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

In his first cookbook, award-winning writer and broadcaster Jay Rayner offers delicious, doable recipes inspired by his favourite restaurant dishes for you to cook at home.

___

‘For the past twenty-five years, I have been reviewing restaurants across Britain and beyond, from the humblest of diners to the grandest of gastro-palaces. And throughout I’ve been taking the best ideas home with me to create glorious dishes for my own table.

Now I get to share those recipes with you.’

With 60 recipes that take their inspiration from restaurants dishes served across the UK and further afield, Nights Out at Home includes a cheat’s version of :
  • The Ivy’s famed crispy duck salad
  • The brown butter and sage flatbreads from Manchester’s Erst
  • The cult tandoori lamb chops from London’s Tayyabs - a recipe which has never been written down before!
  • Jay’s own personal take on the mighty Greggs Steak Bake


Seasoned with stories from Jay’s life as a restaurant critic, and written with warmth, wit and the blessing, and often help, of the chefs themselves, Nights Out at Home is a celebration of good food, great eating experiences, and home cooking – with a twist!
