Product Description
In this follow-up to the smash sensation Roast Chicken and Other Stories, Simon Hopkinson re-creates his winning formula by taking forty-seven completely new favorite ingredients--from apples to cocoa, lobster to truffles, and fennel to mint--and presenting an exotic array of tastes and ingredients from all over the world. His recipes, which have in common the love of good food prepared to please rather than simply impress, are drawn not only from classic French and British cooking but also from around the globe, from Austria to Thailand and India to Spain. This exquisite compilation of recipes includes: - Yorkshire Pudding with Sweet White Sauce and Golden Syrup
- Piedmontese Potato Gnocchi with Parmesan Cream
- Thai Pork Rissoles with Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce
- Creamed Scampi with Saffron Pilaf
- And a new spin on his classic Roast Chicken recipe . . .
Second Helpings of Roast Chicken is sure to please anyone seeking new and inspiring recipes in addition to more of Hopkinson's classic musings on food, which his fans have grown to adore. Praise for Roast Chicken and Other Stories:
"Simon Hopkinson's Roast Chicken and Other Stories is a mouthwatering pleasure to read as well as to use. He's not only a great cook, he's also a great writer and the heir to Elizabeth David's legacy."
--Jay McInerney "Among the most endearing and common-sensical kitchen primers ever composed. . . . You could cook from this volume, and this volume alone, for several years without boredom or mishap."
--Dwight Garner, New York Times Book Review "Hopkinson is ravenous for wonderful food, and his appetite has produced a delicious, passionate book."
--O, The Oprah Magazine "Roast Chicken" is one of those rare cookbooks that, once opened, becomes indispensable. . . . This is simple cooking at its best."
--Aleksandra Crapanzano, New York Times Magazine "Simon Hopkinson has long been an outstanding chef, a passionate lover of good food, and has now emerged as a very endearing and talented food writer."

• Superb Book Of Recipes And Reminiscences 06 May, 2007
Like Mr. Hopkinson, I am Bury born and bred. My mother shopped at the same tripe shop as his grandmother; I celebrated my 21st birthday at M. Chambas' restaurant ("The Normandy", Mr. Hopkinson - you'd have been laughed out of town on a rail in the 60's if you'd referred to it in Bury as "La Normandie"!)where he later cut his teeth - my mother, who taught at an hotel school, drove my father, who was paying for the meal, crazy by "costing" the meal as it proceeded - the salad was the final straw - we never, alas, returned!
I have lived for many years on a different continent and would love his books, regardless of the recipes, for the many reminders of my youth that they contain. That said, this and his original roast chicken book, are a wonderful source of varied, instructive and utterly usable recipes. I cannot recommend them too highly.
