This is an idiosyncratic book that has been constructed as a sculpture might be - by hand, over time and with hard labour. Jake Tilson is the cook, writer, photographer, graphic designer and, literally for once, bottle washer. It's a hand-made work of art.

We’ve pen friends in Pittenweem that bought Anna and I this book, they’re the artist and poet Tom and Laurie Clark, and I think they know Jake. This book is an edible biography that I love to escape into and eat from.

Conceptual art and food all together in one lovely anecdotal tome.
