Guest Author Alex Mackay @ Cook the Books










Everybody Everyday - Coming This July

Join us for an evening of Food, Wine & Stories with Alex Mackay.  Alex Mackay believes that cooking is an adventure and that good food should be for everyone. He knows that most of us shop in the supermarket, work long hours, and are often stuck for inspiration in the kitchen. The trick, he has discovered, is to know a few basic recipes inside-out and to reinvent them so they never grow tired. In Everybody, Everyday he shows how to cook six basic ingredients, six sauces and six slow-cooked meals, and then offers a kaleidoscope of variations for each.

We've been lucky enough to browse through an advance copy of Everybody Everyday and trust us, it is fantastic. This will be the go-to book in Everybody's kitchen Everyday!

After leaving NZ (where he worked with our favourite COOK - Grant Allen @ Pierre's Restaurant) Alex Mackay worked as a chef at Michelin-starred restaurants in France, Italy and the UK. Having run Raymond Blanc's cookery school and founded the internationally acclaimed Baou d'Infer cookery school in Provence, he now teaches alongside Delia Smith. His first book Cooking in Provence was a winner at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. Alex lives near Oxford with his wife and two sons.
