The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating is a certified "foodie"
classic. In it, Fergus Henderson -- whose London restaurant, St.
John, is a world-renowned destination for people who love to eat
"on the wild side" -- presents the recipes that have marked him out
as one of the most innovative, yet traditional, chefs. Here are
recipes that hark back to a strong rural tradition of delicious
thrift, and that literally represent Henderson's motto, "Nose to
Tail Eating" -- be they Pig's Trotter Stuffed with Potato, Rabbit
Wrapped in Fennel and Bacon, or his signature dish of Roast Bone
Marrow and Parsley Salad. For those of a less carnivorous bent,
there are also splendid dishes such as Deviled Crab; Smoked
Haddock, Mustard, and Saffron; Green Beans, Shallots, Garlic, and
Anchovies; and to keep the sweetest tooth happy, there are
gloriously satisfying puddings, notably the St. John Eccles Cakes,
and a very nearly perfect Chocolate Ice Cream.
'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.' In this new collection of recipes,
Fergus Henderson, award-winning author of Nose to Tail Eating,
inspires with more carnivorous classics such as deep-fried rabbit,
pigeon pie, venison liver and pressed pig's ear. Justin Piers
Gellatly, Head Baker and Pastry Chef at St. John Restaurant,
introduces us to the world of breads and sweets - sourdough loaves
and lardy cakes, puddings such as chocolate baked Alaska, burnt
sheep's milk yoghurt and goat's curd cheesecake, and delicious ice
creams including bay leaf and the famous Dr. Henderson. This
covetable collection is complemented by quirky colour photographs
by Jason Lowe and a St. John-inspired monochrome design, making it
the perfect companion to Fergus's first book.

A fun collection of Martin Parr's food pictures, which documents
the simple notion that 'we are what we eat'. Real Food celebrates
all things food through the eyes of the renowned British
photographer Martin Parr - a kaleidoscope of foods the world over,
from hot dogs to sticky buns and langoustine to lemon meringue pie.
Featuring photographs taken throughout Martin Parr's prolific
career to-date, Real Food will comprise the very best of Parr's
iconic imagery - a collection of close-up food shots, in typical
garish colour, taken by Parr throughout his travels across the
world. Introduced with an essay by Fergus Henderson, British chef
and founder of the restaurant St John's in London, which considers
Parr's photographs in the context of global cuisine, and Parr's
fascination with the social aspect of food that is at the heart of
these photographs.
Fergus Henderson caused something of a sensation when he opened his
restaurant St John in London in 1995. Set in a former smokehouse
near Smithfield meat market, its striking, high ceilinged white
interior provides a dramatic setting for food of dazzling boldness
and simplicity. As signalled by the restaurant's logo of a pig
(reproduced on the cover of Nose to Tail Eating) and appropriately
given the location, at St John the emphasis is firmly on meat. And
not the noisettes, fillets, magrets and so forth of standard
restaurant portion-control, all piled up into little towers in the
middle of the plate: Henderson serves up the inner organs of beasts
and fowls in big, exhilarating dishes that combine high
sophistication with peasant roughness. Nose to Tail Eating is a
collection of these recipes, celebrating, as the title implies, the
thrifty rural British traditions of making delicious virtue out of
using every part of the animal. This new edition, beautifully
redesigned, comes with an introduction by Anthony Bourdain.
"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
world's 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.
'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 in 1994 he opened St. John, now one of the world's most
admired restaurants. With a combination of sophistication and
peasant thriftiness, his two Nose to Tail books have gained cult
status in the world of cookbooks. Now they have been joined
together inThe Complete Nose to Tail, a compendious volume with
additional recipes and more photography from the brilliant Jason
Lowe. This collection of recipes includes traditional favourites
like Eccles cakes, devilled kidneys, and seed cake with a glass of
Madeira, as well as many St. John classics for more adventurous
gastronomes - roast bone marrow and parsley salad, deep-fried tripe
and pot-roast half pig's head to name but a few. With a dozen new
recipes on top of 250 existing ones, exceptional production values
and more than 100 beautiful, witty photographs, The Complete Nose
to Tail is not only comprehensive but completely irresistible.
