He guides you through an array of dazzling dishes, including Mackerel and Potato Pakoras, Pork Chops with Sauerkraut and Chocolate and Passion Fruit Domes - all using affordable ingredients and accessible methods - in between sharing mischievous anecdotes detailing his exploits with his fellow chefs once the kitchen doors are closed. Illustrated with stunning photography throughout, it'll ensure you never look at a cucumber in the same way again.
