Books

I have two humble ambitions in writing this book:

1. To blow your mind with food.

2. To transform your meals into adventures

It’s a completely practical cookbook but all the food is in some way extraordinary, interactive or enlightening. Some dishes are gently adventurous (whole artichokes and sushi-rolling parties), others are completely wild (golden chicken and salmon cooked in a dishwasher) but, crucially, most of it is made from ingredients that you use every day. The idea is to get you and your friends eating wonderful, extraordinary meals that you’ll never forget.

My world is the world of culinary adventure.

I’ve written five books, and I’m currently writing my sixth.

My first book about ‘Adventures in Food for the Romantic, the Foolhardy and the Brave’.

‘Brilliant. Deranged, but brilliant!’ Heston Blumenthal

Not entirely sure why this ended up with such a bombastic title (it’s the book for my BBC2 Cooking in the Danger Zone series), but it’s actually a funny and brutally honest tale of a speccy, bookish food writer who spent three years in war zones finding out how people survive in the most difficult conditions on earth.
