Thank you to all the team at Duncan Baird – especially Grace Cheetham, Krissy Mallett and Jo Murray – for the care and attention put into this book. As always, you were a pleasure to work with.
Big thank you and much appreciation also go to my recipe testers – Philip Back, Philip Clarke, Christa Langan and Veronica Martell – to Carl Cullingford, Jean Herbert, Maggi Gordon, Rita Kandela and Janet Podolak (and their families and friends) for their helpful suggestions and ideas, and to the butchers at Macken Brothers, Chiswick, London.
