My ideas start with a taste, a flavour, and a sketch in my kitchen notebook.

Leaving behind her tiny kitchen in Paris to embark on new culinary adventures, Rachel Khoo keeps her notebook right by her side; it is where she records all her recipes, ideas, photographs and illustrations of food.

The resulting recipes in this cookbook are exciting and varied, each one crafted with Rachel's trademark inventive twists. Discover her Slow-roasted pork belly with sloe gin, Smoked haddock has with cornichon crème fraîche, Cauliflower cheese burgers, Pickled pear, lentil and Gorgonzola salad, Cherry-glazed lamb shanks with pilaf, Pistachio and pomegranate cake, Honey-roasted peach crema Catalana and Black Forest gâteau bowls.

This delightful book quite simply shows how Rachel cooks in her kitchen, taking inspiration from wherever her travels have taken her.
