The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating

by Fergus Henderson

The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating is a certified "foodie" classic. In it, Fergus Henderson — whose London restaurant, St. John, is a world-renowned destination for people who love to eat "on the wild side" — presents the recipes that have marked him out as one of the most innovative, yet traditional, chefs. Here are recipes that hark back to a strong rural tradition of delicious thrift, and that literally represent Henderson's motto, "Nose to Tail Eating" — be they Pig's Trotter Stuffed with Potato, Rabbit Wrapped in Fennel and Bacon, or his signature dish of Roast Bone Marrow and Parsley Salad. For those of a less carnivorous bent, there are also splendid dishes such as Deviled Crab; Smoked Haddock, Mustard, and Saffron; Green Beans, Shallots, Garlic, and Anchovies; and to keep the sweetest tooth happy, there are gloriously satisfying puddings, notably the St. John Eccles Cakes, and a very nearly perfect Chocolate Ice Cream.

Review:

"[A] terrifically dour, Edward Gorey-ish guide to cooking with offal....[A] book you'll want to own." Dwight Garner, The New York Times Book Review

Review:

"An audacious chef whose St. John restaurant in London draws legions of fans, Henderson is a staunch proponent of using virtually the entirety of any plant or animal being served up. Harking back to the days when very little went to waste, he practices what he preaches." Publishers Weekly

Synopsis:

First published in the UK, "The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating" has become a true "foodie" cult classic, now available in the U.S. for the first time.
