For a quarter of a century, Fergus and Trevor have been serving up food that is as elegantly simple as it is heartfelt and generous. At once ever-evolving and steeped in tradition, theirs is a true celebration of British ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTold with trademark verve, \u003cb\u003eThe Book of St. JOHN \u003c\/b\u003ecaptures the unique and distinctive spirit of the original pioneers of nose-to-tail cooking, and provides a unique insight into one of the cornerstones of the British restaurant scene.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with photographs by Jason Lowe and illustrations by Fergus himself, the extremely user-friendly recipes demystify disconcerting processes such as offal butchery and in other cases detail the classic recipes at the heart of St. JOHN repertoire simply explained for the home cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is structured to mirror the practices and rhythms of the St. JOHN kitchen and so begins with ‘The Pivotal Pig’, a whole chapter dedicated to understanding the true nature of the nose-to-tail animal. From butchery to stocks, braise and brine, this section takes you through the foundation stones of St. JOHN’s kitchen working practices leading you to must-make recipes like \u003ci\u003eGrilled Lambs Hearts, Peas and Mint\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eOx Tongue, Carrots and Caper Sauce \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBeef Mince on Dripping Toast\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, St. JOHN is about more than meat. The extensive repertoire of fish and vegetable recipes is well covered, including a chapter on creating bounty from a well-stocked store, featuring recipes for the essential \u003ci\u003eMaster Pickle\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe St. JOHN Chutney\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eA Universal Jelly \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eLentils\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePuddings are vital at St. JOHN and celebrated as such with recipes for comforting classics like ‘\u003ci\u003eSteamed Syrup Sponge, Sher\u003c\/i\u003ery \u003ci\u003eTrifle \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ePeach Cobbler\u003c\/i\u003e. All to be served with ice cream, custard or cream. That is non-negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt St. JOHN, every moment of eating and drinking, however modest, is an expression of possibility and potential. Nowhere is this more evident than in the chapter celebrating breakfast, lunch, dinner and of course all those moments to savour in-between; eschew the eleven o’clock biscuit tin and reach instead for a piece of \u003ci\u003eSeed Cake \u003c\/i\u003eand a glass of Madeira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd finally we finish with a chapter dedicated to feasting – occasions to mark friendship and the passing of time – complete with menus for birthday lunches, an outdoor fete and of course a St. JOHN Christmas feast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2178\/3315\/files\/IMG_20190916_131937-01_480x480.jpg?v=1568912292\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2178\/3315\/files\/IMG_20190916_131606-01_480x480.jpg?v=1568912339\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. JOHN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30117157994609,"sku":"STJ-BOO-BOSJ","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2178\/3315\/products\/MVIMG_20190916_124746_1-01.jpg?v=1687938923","url":"https:\/\/stjohnrestaurant.mom\/products\/the-book-of-st-john","provider":"St. JOHN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
