And what food it is: manageable but inventive, robust yet elegant, earthy but approaching the sublime. Hill is inventive, but rightly appreciative of traditional flavours and combinations, which play a major part in his food. One dish that perhaps sums it up is the wonderful Lobster with Chickpea, Coriander and Olive Oil Sauce, in the which the sweet poached shellfish, shelled, is set off by the subtly spiced, dhal-like sauce. But Cooking at The Merchant House is full of such treasures: Pheasant and Chestnut Soup; Red Pepper Bavarois with Asparagus; Warm Celeriac Mousse with Mushroom Sauce; Roast Loin of Veal with Marsala; Rhubarb and Strawberry Gratin. Terrific stuff, and sauced with Hill's occasionally astringent observations on buying, converting and running a restaurant. --Robin Davidson]]> 400381 3.14 7 3 2000 3154009 1405328304 9781405328302 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3154009.Knife_Skills 3.00 1 500901 3.14 7 2 400381 3.14 7 3 2008 2041820 0563364327 9780563364320 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2041820.Quick_Easy_Vegetable_Cookery 0.0 0 400381 3.14 7 3 1999 2041821 0333613449 9780333613443 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2041821.Shaun_Hill_s_Cookery_Book 0.0 0 400381 3.14 7 3 1995 2041819 1840007745 9781840007749 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2041819.How_to_Cook_Better 0.0 0 400381 3.14 7 3 2004 2041822 071263603X 9780712636032 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2041822.Shaun_Hill_s_Gidleigh_Park_Cookery_Book 0.0 0 400381 3.14 7 3 1991 6512411 1845333349 9781845333348 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6512411-better-gravy 0.0 0 400381 3.14 7 3 525499 4.18 11 0 2008 1068690 185793766X 9781857937664 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180716320m/1068690.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180716320s/1068690.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1068690.A_Spoon_with_Every_Course_In_Search_of_the_Legendary_Food_of_France 0.0 0 138658 3.62 8 3 400381 3.14 7 3 1996 1234181 1405320303 9781405320306 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1234181.Cook_Simply_Everything 0.0 0 500901 3.14 7 2 56179 3.35 20 9 400381 3.14 7 3 2007
