Trinity

"As close to an absolutely perfect experience of eating out as is possible to have." - Giles Coren on Trinity for The Times

"Through the beautiful recipes of Trinity: The Cookbook, Adam Byatt tells the most inspiring and moving story of a restaurateur's dream that has come true. Adam is a chef who embraces excellence, and he is an exemplar of our profession. I urge every young chef to read this book because it will encourage you to hold onto your dream. As for Trinity, it is a blissful escape from the real world. I arrive for lunch and tend to say farewell when the tables are being set for dinner service..." - Raymond Blanc OBE

A triumph of an irresistibly mouthwatering cookbook, in which Adam Byatt - acknowledged as "the Chefs' Chef" - shares recipes, rich knowledge and uplifting stories of life at Trinity, his Michelin-starred restaurant in Clapham, south-west London.

Beautifully photographed, wittily illustrated and with recipes for all tastes and occasions, Trinity: The Cookbook is an extraordinarily cheerful place to visit. Right from the opening pages the cork pops and you are there as the day-long feast begins, with the book's sections moving through morning, lunch, afternoon, dinner and late-night. You might choose freshly baked crisp-edged Madeleines for elevenses or, for lunch, the signature Semi-smoked Salmon, Beurre Blanc and Pickled Cucumber. Why not round off the evening with Trinity's famous Tarte Tatin, a glisteningly caramelised centrepiece of pure indulgence? There's even a special section featuring festive dishes for Christmas.

Cosily embedded within the back cover is The Trinity Repertoire, a mini-bible encompassing short, fun recipes for everyday cooking, the award-winning Trinity way: a multitude of easily achievable dishes to make for a happy home, from sauces to soups and biscuits to cakes, and everything in between.

Constantly insightful and ultimately inspiring, Trinity: The Cookbook is an expression of devotion to the crafts of excellent cookery and exceptional service. Almost a love letter - flour-dusted, of course - composed by an acclaimed chef for the restaurant that he has cherished for two decades.
