Foreword

One of the pleasures of writing this book has been the making of new friends, and I would like to thank all those who have helped me along the way. Primarily, Sophie Grigson who cooperated in the writing and so skilfully interpreted and set out the recipes; her assistance was marvellous. Also, Martin Brigdale and his team for the beautiful photographs; and Hugh Marshall for his delightful illustrations. At Collins, I would like to thank Louise Haines and Robin Wood who foresaw the possibilities for the book; and Caroline Hill for its attractive design.
