Description
"A considered use of fresh, bright flavours and produce is a constant delight throughout this lovely book. It is a beauty, and reflects Anna’s soul in each dish." – Jeremy Lee
"A peek behind the doors of a vibrant restaurant kitchen - its highs and lows - and a glorious collection of recipes. Anna Hedworth is brilliant with flavour." – Diana Henry
In Service, chef Anna Hedworth takes the reader through a day in her restaurant, the soothing rhythms of prep and mealtimes, and the ups and downs of service. It’s an all-day operation, from breakfast through to dinner and post service, and the recipes reflect those times of day and the menus Anna creates for her restaurants.
Recipes are characterised by their simplicity and seasonality, including Spiced Pancakes with Poached Rhubarb & Raspberry for breakfast, BBQ Bavette & Courgettes with Sriracha Aioli for lunch, Braised Squid in Red wine with Fennel & Samphire for Dinner, Blood Orange, Cardamom & Olive Oil Cake for dessert and an array of drinks and seasonal preserves – this is an inspirational collection of stunning dishes.
In the best traditions of chefs like Alice Waters, Stephanie Alexander, and Judy Rodgers, Anna’s passion for food, ingredients and the place she calls home shine through in her writing. Based in the northeast of England, Anna’s restaurants, and her food, are thoughtful, unique and compelling. As well as celebrating the joys and challenges of restaurant life, Service perfectly captures a key moment in modern British cooking and eating.

Anna's words about the importance of restaurants and the magic of working in one feel significant and timely. Anna's recipes throughout are bright full-flavour cooking.
