Welcome. Im very excited about this recipe collection. All of the recipes are brand new some are my tried-and-tested favourites given a refreshing twist; others contain a selection of new ingredients or flavour combinations. I have included a variety of recipes for the whole family to enjoy, quick suppers for you to rustle up after work, and impressive dishes for when youre entertaining. Im sure youll find much to tempt you.

One of the most exciting things about this guide is that its given me the opportunity to crystallize the knowledge and experience Ive gained over so many years of cooking for my own family and friends, and to pass them on to you in a way I hope youll find useful.

For each recipe, I identify the key to perfection that is, the crucial part that you need to get right to guarantee excellent results. Sometimes its a case of preparing some of the ingredients correctly, or you might need to be aware of a technical step during the cooking process or learn to recognize when a dish is done. Whatever it is, the step-by-step photographs and guidance make it easy to understand what you need to do to get the recipe perfect. Imagine Im in the kitchen, cooking alongside you. I might just gently say in your ear, Ah, watch out for this bit or Keep an eye on that. Well, thats what Im doing here, while sharing with you a host of techniques that Ive honed over the years. Some of the recipes may look a little longer than my usual ones but its not that theyre complicated, its just that Im giving you more detailed information than I ever have before.

The more you cook these recipes and master the keys to perfection, the more they will become second nature. And who knows, perhaps you will then become the one whispering gentle advice into the ear of a less experienced cook! Just read through the recipe and keys carefully, and cook with care, and you, too, will achieve perfect results time and time again.

Wishing you happy cooking.
