About the Author
Born in Bury, Lancashire, SIMON HOPKINSON left school at 17 to begin a career as a chef. He opened his first restaurant, the Shed, near Fishguard, just before his 21st birthday. In 1983 he launched himself on the London restaurant scene, becoming chef at Hilaire in the Old Brompton Road. He swiftly found himself one of the most acclaimed young chefs in the business and his friendship with Terence Conran led to the opening of Bibendum in the restored Michelin building in 1987. He retired as a full-time chef in 1995 to concentrate more on writing. As well as Roast Chicken and Other Stories and Second Helpings of Roast Chicken, his books include Gammon & Spinach, The Prawn Cocktail Years (written jointly with Lindsey Bareham), Week In, Week Out and The Vegetarian Option. The Good Cook won the Food and Drink Book of the Year in 2011 and he has also won the André Simon award, and the Glenfiddich Award three times.

During 'lockdown' there have been various re-runs of TV programmes, especially cookery programmes. I watched Simon Hopkinson's series The Good Cook. No nonsense great cooking. I have the book, which accompanied that series so I thought I would give Simon Hopkinson Cooks a go. I was not disappointed. Lovely book. Written in that same no nonsense, no fuss style. --Kazbear13

I bought this on Kindle and absolutely love it. Simon's recipes are so well laid out and explained. I already had The Good Cook in hardback but this is so useful being able to access it wherever I am on tablets etc. Very happy with it. --Lizbet
