Angela Hartnett

Angela Hartnett, MBE, is one of the UK's most-loved chefs and restaurateurs, known for her sophisticated yet simple, Italian-inspired cooking. Born in Britain, her passion for good, honest food and the best ingredients was instilled in her by her Italian grandmother and mother. Working with Gordon Ramsay for many years, she launched Amaryllis in Scotland, Verre in Dubai and Menu and The Grill Room at the Connaught. In 2007 Angela was awarded an MBC for services to the hospitality industry, and the following year she opened her own restaurant, Murano, in Mayfair. In 2013 Angela launched the critically acclaimed Merchants Tavern in Shoreditch and Café Murano, a little sister to Murano. Angela is a regular on UK television, often appearing on Great British Menu, MasterChef and Saturday Kitchen, as well as being one of the judges for BBC's Best Home Cook. This is her third book.
