Offal bible part deux!

The Master is back! Fergus Henderson, the GOD of nose to tail mastery, the must have companion of ALL cookbooks!

Must have for the professional

Great book. Simple and detailed; a great look at where modern English cookery can be. The desserts are a particular delight.

Beyond Nose to Tail

This is the best cook book I have ever read! The second best cook book is The Whole Beast.

Even better than The Whole Beast / Nose to Tail Eating

Although much more dessert and baking oriented than I would have liked, this book still deserves all your attention as it is the perfect complement to the first book. Most recipes are written in a delightfully humorous prose dusted here and there with a few opiniated, informative or funny comments. If you like no non-sense anti-diet be-happy food, this book if you. Among the great lessons from that book is what Henderson calls trotter gear wich is simply pre-cooked and debonned pig trotters in their cooking liquid. This can serve as the base of deliciously unctuous braises, stews or pies. I will now keep a few bags of 'trotter gear' in my freezer in the same way many keep veal stock.

Beyond Nose to Awesome!

Fergus is at it again, writing another delightfully written and informative book about good honest food. I love the guy.
