The Square: Savoury

There are a few books we distribute which, from the start, you know will be unique. This was valid for this energizing book from Philip Howard: an assortment of plans from his eatery, The Square. We realized we wouldn't be capable do the plans equity in one volume, so it got two - a first volume, Savory, trailed by Sweet. We realized we were unable to restrict it to the ordinary two pages for every formula and food photograph, so they each turned out to be either 4 or 6 pages. We realized we were unable to outline anything short of all of those plans, so one of the world's best food picture takers, Jean Cazals, did exactly that. But then these measures are just a little piece of why this book is so uncommon. It is exceptional in light of the fact that it speaks to an assortment of plans from 21 years of one of the nation's best and most reliably fine eateries. Extraordinary on the grounds that the culinary specialist who has been in charge of that eatery for those years is perceived as one of the absolute best of his age. However, the vast majority of all, it is exceptional on the grounds that that culinary expert has that uncommon capacity to interpret a virtuoso in the eatery kitchen into the expressions of a book. This was clear from the day we got the principal composed formula, and, with it, Phil's wildly keen vision for how the book - and each formula inside it - should be organized. It is additionally show in the dozen or so papers that weave all through, that show a significant thought and energy for each part of his art and industry. This is a milestone distribution and has become an absolute necessity have book for each gourmet expert and for each genuine foodie. It can't disappoint and move anybody with a craving for cooking and a hunger for food information. It isn't anything not exactly a mind boggling accomplishment and a book of genuinely unbounded culinary desire.

About the Author
Phil Howard is a chef who holds two Michelin stars for his work and is regarded among his peers as one of the world's great culinary technicians. He is the head chef and co-owner of The Square restaurant in London, a popular and modern high-end eatery.

First off, I'm not at all familiar with the Chef and I'd never heard of this restaurant. Its hard enough keeping up with all the names in the US, much less Europe as well. Something about the intro video interested me and I pre-ordered the book. The food is decidedly British and I'm not entirely sure how to really explain what I mean by that. The ingredients, the flavor combinations, etc, just not exactly standard US fare. The pictures suggest very well executed high end cuisine. Then you read the recipes. Painstaking doesn't even begin to describe the level of detail and organization. Its the best written cook book I've ever seen- and I own Thomas Keller's full line up. The recipes are all split up by component, so you prepare a component at a time just as you would if you were working in a restaurant(I"m a professional chef and in the business you don't prepare a dish at a time, you prep the components individually). Also, the amount of detail and discussion that go into the individual techniques involved in making each dish/component are unlike anything I've ever seen. Recipes, just like menus, are nothing more than words on a piece of paper. The level of skill and precision of the actual cooking are what make them work and this book takes the idea of what a cook book can be to a brand new level.--JRock

Been a Phil Howard fan for along time, ate at The Square a few years ago....really good. Waited almost a year for this on amazon as the release date was pushed back. --iChef

This book is a little bit different than most of the fine-dining cookbooks, food presented here is simple, smart, well executed and amazingly tasty, it's a beautiful masterpiece. Recipes works and you're able to do them yourself, it really teaches u: HOW TO COOK. --Cuisson King
