The Good Cook by Allegra Mcevedy
Allegra McEvedy is the Head Chef at the Good Cook in Notting Hill's Tabernacle. In this book, she introduces her particular brand of cooking - deconstructing modern classics with verve and humour. Drawing on experiences that range from cooking for presidents as Head Sous Chef in Robert de Niro's New York restaurant, learning the hard way in the River Cafe, exploring her Irish heritage and teaching West London school kids that McDonalds is not the only option, Allegra's book is at once a collection of internationally-embracing recipes, an eulogy to local and organic food and an insight into a warm and endearing personality.
